Welcome! My name is Ursina, I am Swiss German and passed my childhood near Zurich, however Lugano has been my home for the last 25 years. Having had a professional background in Hotel and Catering I am multilingual. I would like to share this beautiful city and its surroundings with everyone, and I have created a tour to show the best sites of interest in Lugano and its environment in a cost-effective way. It will be a great pleasure to guide you through a discovery trip of our beautiful city and area.
Book your tour and follow me and enjoy this beautiful place on Lake Ceresio with the surrounding Alps.

Tour description
You will discover an Italian-speaking town with a Mediterranean atmosphere. It was not until 1513 that Lugano became a part of Switzerland and therefore this town is very much Italian, mainly its architecture, the language and the food. We are going to visit the most interesting sights. And last but not least, the most important fresco in Switzerland.
