    Violetta is one of the most knowledgeable guides I’ve ever had. We toured Lugano one quiet Sunday morning and she made the city come alive for us. I highly recommend her and hope that our paths will cross again for a future tour in Italy.

    Great tour of Lugano which showed us the best parts of the city including an excellent overview of the city and its history. Violetta was very well organised and ensured everything was set up beforehand. Highly recommended.
