5.00Florane was knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what our group of 6 was interested in. We asked for an hour-long overview of the city since we were there for an afternoon day trip. We enjoyed our time with her.

5.00This was a great way to see the city of Lugano without committing much time. It provided a great perspective on the history and things to do while visiting. Our guide Florane was fantastic and provided tons of quirky details we would've completely missed, like those weird little architectural mash-ups where Italian and Swiss styles collide. The pace was perfect and casual enough to take photos and ask questions, but we still felt like we covered the whole city. Do this tour early in your trip, it'll give you so many ideas for places to revisit later. Florane also recommended restaurants, activities, and other things to do if needed!
Very good concise tour with an exceptional guide.
