Itinéraire
L'arche, qui faisait initialement partie de la gare de Lucerne construite en 1896, a été le seul élément à survivre à un incendie dévastateur en 1971. Aujourd'hui, elle est un repère protégé et un symbole de l'éphémère et du changement dans le paysage urbain de Lucerne. L'inscription "Sic transit gloria mundi" nous rappelle l'impermanence des réalisations humaines.
Construite entre 1666 et 1677, l'église des Jésuites est la première grande église baroque de Suisse. Construit par les Jésuites pendant la Contre-Réforme, il visait à renforcer la foi catholique dans la région. Cette magnifique structure reste un exemple marquant de l’architecture sacrée baroque et un trait marquant du paysage urbain de Lucerne.
Le pont Spreuer, construit en 1408, est l’un des ponts historiques en bois de Lucerne. Faisant partie à l’origine des fortifications de la ville, elle permettait l’évacuation de l’ivraie ("Spreu") dans la rivière. Orné de 67 peintures du XVIIe siècle représentant la « Danse de la mort », il sert de rare exemple d'art et d'architecture médiévale, mettant en valeur la riche histoire de Lucerne.
La vieille ville de Lucerne est un centre médiéval bien conservé caractérisé par ses places charmantes, ses bâtiments décorés de fresques et ses ruelles étroites. Avec des monuments comme le pont de la chapelle et le mur Musegg, il reflète la riche histoire de la ville et sert de plaque tournante dynamique de la culture, du shopping et de la restauration, mêlant tradition et modernité.
Le monument au Lion, sculpté en 1821, commémore les gardes suisses morts pendant la Révolution française en 1792. Représentant un lion mourant, il symbolise la bravoure et le sacrifice. Mark Twain l'a décrit comme « le morceau de pierre le plus triste et le plus émouvant du monde », ce qui en fait un point de repère poignant dans l'histoire de Lucerne.
Construit en 1333, le pont de la Chapelle est l’emblématique pont en bois de Lucerne et l’un des plus anciens d’Europe. Il présente des peintures triangulaires du XVIIe siècle représentant l'histoire de la ville. Bien que partiellement détruit par un incendie en 1993, il a été restauré et reste un symbole du patrimoine et de la résilience de Lucerne.

Benjamin is a true gem of a guide in Lucerne. He is enthusiastic, personable, knowledgeable, and eager to answer questions. It felt like a friend showing us his favorite city. I would highly recommend him to anyone. We learned so much in a short period of time and got a real feeling for the spirit of this beautiful place.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Molly. It was a real pleasure showing you around Lucerne. I am very glad it felt like discovering the city with a friend. I also hope you enjoyed the fondue and that it tasted as good as it should in Switzerland. All the best and maybe see you again one day in Lucerne.
Jeremy was a great guide. I happened to be the only one signed up for this day. It was great getting to know some of the history of the city plus getting to know my way around it so I could continue on my own once the tour was done.
Glad to hear you had a great time on the tour and thank you so much for the lovely review. It truly means a lot! I do have to smile a little though… your guide’s name was actually Benjamin, but Jeremy sounds like a cool guy too :) Happy you enjoyed the experience either way.
My husband and I had a wonderful time in Lucerne with Benjamin as our tour guide. He showed us a lot of this beautiful city and because of that, we’d love to go back there.
Hey Sandra Thank you very much for your lovely review. I am delighted that you and your husband enjoyed your time in Lucerne and the tour. It was a pleasure showing you around our beautiful city. Every season has its own charm :) I hope to welcome you back again someday. Warm regards Benjamin
Benjamin did a nice job covering all of the highlights throughout Lucerne and was very knowledgeable in its history. Highly recommended tour!
Thank you so much for the great review! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and found the historical insights interesting. It was a pleasure showing you around Lucerne. All the best — and maybe see you again someday in Switzerland!
I was unsure at first because there weren’t many reviews, but I’m glad I joined! The tour was well organized and very interesting. It’s a great way to explore Lucerne and learn about its history. Walking through the city with a knowledgeable guide gave a whole new perspective – much better than just wandering around alone. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Lucerne.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really happy you joined and enjoyed the tour. It's great to hear that it gave you a new perspective on Lucerne. Safe travels and we hope to see you again someday! Best wishes Benjamin
I normally don’t write Tripadvisor reviews (who has the time?), but this tour deserves it. At first, I was a bit skeptical since the tour is quite new, but our guide Benjamin made it an incredibly pleasant and engaging experience. I’ve been to Lucerne several times and thought I knew the city well, but I was surprised by how much I learned through the historical context he provided. A great mix of storytelling, history, and local insight. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to discover a deeper side of Lucerne!
Salut Joel, Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and discovered some new sides of Lucerne. It was a pleasure having you on the tour, and I appreciate you taking the time (despite not usually writing reviews 😉). All the best, Benjamin
I really wanted this tour to be worth the money we paid, but the tour guide knew very little about the area—even without his binder, which he didn’t have with him. Granted, I booked the tour several hours in advance, he must not have checked his email or text and it wasn’t until I called him that he knew we were waiting for him at the meeting point. As luck would have it, he was actually very near by so it started only 10 min later than scheduled. Not worth the money we paid, but since the charge was transacted at the time of the booking we gave it a go.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Due to a technical issue, your booking was unfortunately not displayed correctly, which led to a short delay. Once contact was established, the tour was able to begin at 3:04 PM – just four minutes later than planned. We would also like to clarify that our guide is a trained expert in architecture and urban planning and has lived in Lucerne his entire life. He brings deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture to each tour and is always happy to answer questions from guests. We regret that the circumstances at the start may have impacted your overall impression, and we thank you again for your input. Best regards
