Thank you for a wonderful tour of Lugano for our family group! It was informative and well paced. We appreciated the suggestion to reschedule to an earlier time to avoid some of the heat of the day.

We have been to Lugano many times and decided that it would be interesting to learn a little bit about the history of the City. Our guide Rose was fantastic, she took us around the City for a couple hours explaining the history behind the churches, the community park, the back streets, etc. I would highly recommend this tour!
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us, we are glad that you enjoyed the experience! Looking forward to seeing you again!
Rose was the best tour guide EVER! She is so knowledgeable and had so many interesting stops on our tour.

Rose was fantastic as our tour guide. My husband and I were visiting for our honeymoon. We got to see so much of Lugano, and I’m really glad we went with a smaller group so we could see more of the city. Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about Lugano’s extensive history. Highly recommend this!
