5.00My husband and I had such a great experience on this tour with Giorgio! He was very accommodating in picking us up from our hotel as we weren’t staying in Lugano. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable, and he seemed to have a passion for helping people explore another culture. The description just says walking to the river and visiting the waterfall, but dress accordingly for that. Maybe don’t wear a skirt or dress due to the walk to both of those. Other than that, anything works as the rest of the tour is in a car or walking around various towns and villages. The views are beautiful and the history is fascinating!
Giorgio is fantastic! I...

5.00Giorgio is fantastic! I had an amazing time during our tour! He is very knowledgeable about the area and kept the entire tour very entertaining! As a solo traveller, it was great having him take me to all these spots with ease! 10/10 would book again!
Great Tour with Giorgio!

5.00A very enjoyable tour. Loved tour visits to the rural mountain towns - a genuine “off the beaten path” and step back in time experience, not to mention the gorgeous mountain views. Our guide was Giorgio of whom nothing was too much ask. He was very kind, accommodating and went far beyond the call of duty to make sure we had a great tour.
Absolutely stunning beauty

5.00I loved this tour. The beauty of this area was simply magnificent. I enjoyed every moment of the natural beauty around us; as well as seeing the quaint stone-roof homes in the villages. I would love to go back and spend more time there!
