The time I spent in Lugano was short but thanks to the incredible tour guide Violetta I had the opportunity to discover the city in all its facets. ​She is a very prepared and full of knowledge guide who answered to all my questions and doubts concerning the city and its history. During the tour, we also had time to enjoy together a coffee with a breathtaking lake view (of course, keeping the safety distance - Violetta was very careful in following all the hygiene measures)! In conclusion, I definitely recommend this tour to all the people who want to have fun while learning (and of course, walking)! What are you waiting for? Wear your best shoes and get ready to discover the hidden sides of Lugano!
