5A wonderful day in Lugano
Matteo is the very best tour guide. Very personable and has a vast knowledge of the history of Lugano and throughout Switzerland. We would love to go back to Lugano and definitely spend time with Matteo on another tour. We have been on several tours and he is the very best we have experienced.
5Book it!
Highly recommend taking this tour on your first day in Lugano. Gema Maria was a fantastic tour guide and she was so informative and kind. She showed me even more places than were listed, which I appreciated. It felt like walking through the city with a friend. I highly recommend taking this tour with Gema!
5Lugano Town walk
Florane was our tour guide. She took us around the old town of Lugano for about 1 1/2 hours showing us the interesting buildings and providing a wonderful historic overview of Lugano and its cultural history within Switzerland. She curated the tour herself and was kind enough to adjust the pace and scope of the tour so that my wife (who was feeling a bit ill) could easily cope with the tour programme she has set up. She gave the tour in perfect English, despite the fact that this was probably her third language! My wife and I loved this tour and Florane made it very special. A huge thanks to her.
5Short but sweet!
Florane was a very engaging guide who gave us a brief but excellent idea of Lugano city centre in a very short time! She was informative with a very pleasant Demeanour! Many thanks Florane!!
5Breathtaking Views at a Comfortable Pace
Florane expertly guided us through the beautiful city of Lugano. She was able to explain the rich history and point out several attractions to fill the rest of our time there, including some incredible restaurants. The tour included breathtaking views at a comfortable pace. I would highly recommend this short but extremely worthwhile tour, no matter the duration of your trip!
5Excellent guide
Excellent guide Tej, very knowledgeable, enjoyed the walk on a Sunday morning. Saw several highlights, and got the lay of the land.

About Lugano
Lugano is a lakeside city in Italian-speaking Switzerland, with palm-lined promenades, arcaded squares and mountains rising straight from the water.
Lugano lies on the shore of Lake Lugano in the Ticino canton, where the language is Italian and the climate is mild enough for palms and camellias. The old town centres on Piazza della Riforma, lined with cafés and arcades, and a promenade and the Parco Ciani run along the lake. Santa Maria degli Angioli, a church by the water, has a large Renaissance fresco of the Crucifixion by Bernardino Luini.
Top-ranked sights in Lugano: Lake Lugano, Church of Santa Maria degli Angioli, Monte Brè.
