Lucerne at its Best

Florence was knowledgeable and in depth in providing information, and an absolute pleasure to traverse the city with for 2 hours. And then the 1 hour lake cruise was a welcome respite.

Good Tour

Great tour! As people who are not familiar with Lucerne, this tour was great because Martina knew about the best places to eat, best places to visit, local legends, and many other fun facts. It really allowed us to enjoy Lucerne because we knew more about where to best spend our time. It was lots of fun!

Operator response

Dear Jonathan, thanks a lot for your comment. Martina will be very happy to know about it :) Thanks for your visit!

Top spots in Lucerne-...

Top spots in Lucerne- lions monument, city wall, chapel bridge, old monastery. Tour guide is very friendly and kind, but would have loved more stories, history, uncommon facts about the city and the sights.

Operator response

Hi Faye. Thanks for your comment. Isabella is a professional in tourism. I suggest to tell the guide exactly what you are interested about, so you could get the information more specific to the topic which interests you the most. :) Happy travels and thanks for your visit!

This was a very thorough tour of Lucerne. We feel like it was a comprehensive overview of the history and major points of the city. Diego was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The boat portion was not guided. Beautiful views and a unique perspective of the area. We used google AI for a self guided tour of the lake and surrounding areas.
