Lugano 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.

Florane 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.

This 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!
