Beautiful trip

Celeste_B, Jun 2023

Giorgio, our tour guide, was great! He’s super energetic, and made the trip fun. The views of the valley were beautiful, and the walk through the town of Ascona was a pleasant surprise.

It was an awesome day...

This was wonderful day and highlight of our vacation at Lugano. Our guide Giorgio Ghidotti was brilliant.. His knowledge of the places we visited was excellent and the whole family really enjoyed the scenes. Giorgio spoke German / English to us and we really enjoyed his company. He knows his history and we had great conversations. Once again a great day. Many thanks Giorgio.
