Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We started in the morning with some history from Lugano, courtesy of our guide, then the group walked towards the funicular area, we took the funicular to the top of San Salvatore. Awesome views!!. There is a monastery, now a museum and 2 restaurants where you can have lunch al fresco.
Our guide, Marco, was amazing. He was so kind and genuinely happy to talk to us about Lugano. He spoke multiple languages on the tour to accomodate everyone (English, German, Italian, and French), which I thought was noteworthy. Throughout the entire trip he made it a point to check in on everyone and attempted to learn almost every name. The tour meets at the square and you take a walk along the lake to the funnicular station (about 20 minutes). The funnicular takes you to the top of the mountain where there are multiple view pointes and Marco shared his knowledge about the train systems, and more. Thank you!
