      You won't be disappointed- it's worth the trip up.
      It was a beautiful day in Lugano so we walked from the train station to the funicular and rode up. It is a long walk, slightly uphill, but if you are in any good shape, you can easily make it. The ride up was fun, and once we got up there we had an excellent lunch at the restaurant at the top. The sun was shining, so it wasn't that cold. Views were incredible. The staff took great care of us and it was a very enjoyable day. Definitely worth the trip up.

      Amazing Expierence!
      We had an incredible day on this tour! We came as a large group of 7 (20 years old) and were only in Lugano for the day. The tour was the perfect bit of everything and we were able to experience so much more than we would have just walking around. Christina was our tour guide and her passion and knowledge of the city made the tour! Throughout the day there were many breathtaking views, niche facts about the city, and even great recommendations for exploring the city on our own. It was a diverse group on the tour, ranging all ages, and it was a great way to get to know everyone. If you are in Lugano I can't recommend this experience more, it was truly once in a life time!

      Lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
      Went today, to the brecks for Sunday lunch, met and shown to table by Jess, ( lovely big smile, always polite and friendly.) The wife had Turkey Sunday lunch, plenty on the plate, looked and tasted great, she tells me. I had Sirloin steak, medium rare, lovely and tender with a peppercorn sauce, loved it. We were thinking of a pud, but were too full. Lovely afternoon, lovely meals, good waitress, very attentive, thanks Jess.

      Great trip
      Tour guide Christine was excellent, however, they need to tell people with limited physical ability this is not the tour for them. I have only a slight issue with my knee and found this trip to be a bit troublesome for me. Uphill , uneven stones as well as at least 100 downhill stairs with no rail and stone stairs. Please be advised this is a lot of walking with uneven surfaces.

      Charming and picturesque time town
      Taking a half day guided tour to Morcote is absolutely worth the trip. The town is such a charming and picturesque tiny Switzerland town. Do expect to walk up flights of stairs.

      Monte Bre tour
      This was a great deal and beautiful views. I would highly recommend. We were staying in Menaggio so we had to bail a little early to make sure we caught the last bus. But we enjoyed it.

      Lovely!
      We would definitely recommend this visit. The guide is great, passionate about all the places she took us around and very kind. We weren’t lucky with the weather as it was raining all the time but even so we enjoyed a lot this experience. With a sunny day this must be stunning. Bré village is gorgeous and in many ways it feels like traveling to the past.

    Doing this excursion was an amazing experience, especially with Marco who was a great guide and who helped us learn more about the amazing region of Lugano and its culture. It was an interesting and lovely day that ended with a nice boat ride.
