We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Isabella! It was a great introduction to Lucerne. We especially enjoyed learning about the history of the city.
Isabella was a wonderful guide. She provided so much background and history and answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend this tour.
Great guide. Isabella was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations for the rest of my trip as well which was a bonus. The tour is active and there are steps and hills so wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
Luis was a wonderful guide: punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of great information, had visual aides to enhance the tour and made us feel welcome in this beautiful city.
Luis was a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable about Lucerne, was informative and great humor as well. Did not rush and even exceeded the listed tour time.
We had a nice walk with our guide, Luis, who was very well versed in the history of the city, along with where the best restaurants were. We can’t wait to visit again and compare the chocolates of Luzern to Geneva.
Isabella was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer anything we asked. The tour was 2 hours and ran the whole time. We didn’t do the optional chocolate part but wished we did. I will say this is not for anyone who can’t go up and down stairs and hills.
It's so worth it! The tour took place as i was the only customer (low season end of November). So it turned into an exclusive tour of lovely Luzern! We started von Torbogen Luzern then taken our way down onto the Reuss. Numerous details, historical, scientifical & cultural facts (all spiced up with old photographs) to the pathway covered: the churched, the Wooden Bridge with it's significance and troubled history. We continued our walk through the city with a lot of infos on local restaurants & places of interest, shopping. We landen on panorama points on the defence wall and explore it in promising weather of sun and coming snow. Enriched by stories of medieval history & behaviour and listening to the breath of the dragon whispers coming from Pilatus . It was an exciting journey, brilliantly guided tour into past, present, culture & civilisation of Luzern. I would recommend to my best friend. It made my visit here very special.
Dear Rosa. Thanks a lot for your comment about the walking tour! I am glad that you appreciated the rich alpine history! Thanks for your visit!:)
Luis was great. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He was excellent and gave us great suggestions on eating, sites to see.
Dear David. Thanks a lot for your comment :). WE are glad that you and your family and friends have enjoyed our walking tour. Happy travels!
Isabella was a fine tour guide to see the city on foot including even the city walls. Only issue I have is that the tour was 2 hours late as I, a solo traveler, had to be grouped with next tour (of only two people mind you) with only a 20 minutes notice…as such, would *highly* not recommend to any single travelers looking for a tour of the city as you will be at the mercy of the guide company on when they will honor your purchase.
We do not exchange "good reviews" for free services! Dear Austin. Your tour was a last minute one and we accepted but told you that the only available time was two hrs later and you accepted! now you are complaining! is the real reason of your complain is that you dignity get the chocolate experience for free as you asked in your text message?? Thanks for your visit!
