    Great tour, awesome guide!!

    Great tour! Yula was super informative, friendly and kind. She took us all over Lugano at a nice relaxed pace. By the end, it was like we were old friends. The tour is as flexible as you want it to be. She gave us some great local recommendations, including a fabulous lunch spot after the tour.

    Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable and relaxed experience with our Rahe. It’s great to hear the tour felt personal, informative, and tailored to your interests. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon!

    Excellent walking tour!

    Great tour, interesting and informative about the area. Yulia was also flexible enough to incorporate our wish to take a ride on the funicular into her route; she dropped us at the funicular and even helped me navigate buying the tickets.

    Very Disappointed!

    Guide di Not show up. We were at meeting place 15 min prior to trip. Not happy at all considering cancelling the rest off our Viator trips. Had an Italian guide with a different company take us in. He tried to call Viator and got no answer! I am demanding a refund.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    We’re very sorry this happened and understand how frustrating and disappointing it must have been, especially after arriving on time and making alternative arrangements. This is not the experience we aim to provide.

    A happy day in Lugano

    We had a great time in Lugano. Yulia was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We’d love to go back to Lugano and meet Yulia again.
