Free walking tours in Lugano

I had a wonderful experience on the Lugano Old Town tour. The guide was very accommodating and kindly switched the tour to English upon request, even though it was originally listed only in German on the website. She was patient, friendly, and very detailed in sharing the history and stories of the city. Although I was the only participant, it felt like a private tour, which made the experience even more special. I’ve been on many walking tours, but this one truly stood out. I highly recommend it, especially for English-speaking visitors.

Sehr schöne Tour und ausgesprochen nette Person

Ein Traum! Sie war super nett, kompetent, sehr herzlich und mit sehr viel Spass hat uns Lugano & Mont Bre gezeigt. Ganz lieben Dank!!!!! Jederzeit gerne wieder <3

Tej was super kind and accommodated us when we ran late and moved us to a later tour time. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about Swiss history and culture — we learned a lot!

Tej was ań excellent tour guide - very personable and knowledgable about Lugano. He was able to answer all our questions and was quite passionate about the history and stories that have made Lugano. He was also very forthcoming about a range of social issues (current and past) and was a really interesting guide. He was a true local and that reflected in the tour. Overall Tej was a confident and very capable guide and we would recommend the tour.

Very informative and enjoyable. Tej was great.

He was very informative and knew quite a lot about the history of Ticino Lugano and Switzerland.

Tej es un guía bastante informado, sabe muchos datos. A pesar de ser sábado, fuimos un grupo de 6 personas solo. Además, nos dio su contacto y nos pasó muchísima más información de lugares a visitar, sitios para comer, etc. Un placer!

Nicole was very professional, engaging, knowledgeable and helpful. She knows Lugano very well and passed on a lot of suggestions and information to make our stay much more enjoyable.

Thank you, Tej, for sharing your knowledge of Switzerland and Lugano with us. We had enough time to look at Lugano's main landmarks, learn from Lugano's key historical moments and thank you for allowing the group to slightly chitchat :) Highly recommended tour if you are alone or with a group!
