Hello everyone my name is Matteo a local from Lugano, Ticino Southern Switzerland region, founder and guide of Free Walking Tours Lugano. I have been fortunate enough to travel the world. Getting to know people, cultures and traditions. This has allowed me to have the right sensibility by relating to people from all over. In some places I would have liked to take part in a tour, unfortunately they were either not available or the cost for one person was exorbitant or the schedule did not fit my needs.

I have participated in some free tours and it has always been a great experience. For this reason, I decided to replicate it in my city and region.

For me, being a tour guide is not only telling you about our history and culture but telling you anecdotes that I personally experienced or passed down from my grandparents. Sharing a passion for our cuisine and traditional products created with so much love by our farmers.

We wish to make your stay in my region full of beautiful emotions to make you come back again to discover even more.

In a free walking tours you are free to choose how much to leave as a tip depending on how much you enjoyed the tour.

We at FreeWalkingToursLugano prefer electronic payments in Swiss Francs because it makes it easier for us to account and tax. If you prefer the old-fashioned way, we will be happy to accept cash in Swiss francs, €uros or U.S. dollars.

If, on the other hand, you prefer a tour tailor-made for you, we will be happy to build it according to your needs.

For example, a 90-minute private Lugano walking city tour is available for only 99.- Swiss Francs. Must be booked and fully paid 30 days in advance.
