About This Tour
Experience Lugano through the eyes of a local on this private, fully customizable walking tour. While others see a modern resort town, I’ll show you the hidden Lugano. What makes this tour unique? - A Window to the Past: I carry a collection of vintage photographs, allowing you to stand in the exact spot where history happened and see how the city has transformed over the decades. - Insider Intelligence: Skip the overpriced tourist traps. I’ll share my personal insider tips on the best local grottoes, shops, and authentic eateries. - Tailored for You: Whether you’re interested in Renaissance art, lakeside architecture, or quiet alleyways, I’ll adapt the route to your interests. - A Sweet Finish: We’ll conclude our journey like true locals—with a delicious, artisanal gelato from my favourite hidden gem in town. Book a private stroll that feels like walking with a friend!
