Rose was the best tour guide EVER! She is so knowledgeable and had so many interesting stops on our tour. Not only was she an informative tour guide, but she was also an amazing photographer and got me some incredible photos as memories of my trip! So thankful that I came across this tour, I cannot imagine a better tour guide for my visit to Lucerne!❤️

This was a very nice tour, just the right amount of places and time for Lugano. And our guide, Rose, was superb - very knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, and very personable.

Razan is great! We had a very nice tour together, where I learnt the best (and most secret!) part of Lugano. Definitely suggested.

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!
