Choc tour

We had a one on one tour experience! Very knowledgeable tour guide who had a passion for the history in Lucerne. Making our own chocolate bar was a unique experience! The boat ride is audio guided and you can go any time that fits your schedule that day. Cost is high.

Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

Great time with a friend, hanging around town at my own pace.

Had a blast walking around, getting to know the city, its history, and simple curiosities. No time pressure, so we could stop here and there to check a store or get a beer. It's definitely the best way to know the city: it's entertaining and at our own pace. Recommend it.
