Excellent tour, excellent price. Very fun experience. The funicular was so much fun. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips on the city. The views on Mt. San Salvatore, was something everyone visiting Lake Lugano should see. Stunning.

Unser Guide war einfach klasse. Er spricht vier Sprachen und hat immer darauf geachtet, dass alle alles verstehen. Außerdem hat er sehr interessante Fakten zu den einzelnen Stationen erzählt und diese mit einer guten Portion Humor unterlegt. Ich kann diese Tour nur jedem empfehlen!
