Great evening walking tour of Lucern
Informative guide- highly recommend Ezra. He communicated well with us about where to meet. We went to viewpoints that were not well known to tourists.

Hard to find better than Ezra
Ezra is an artist so he took that approach to the photo stops and setting the scene. He had lots of suggestions for phone settings and technique. We got some really great photos and had a fun time doing it. We even changed the date and time the day before with no problem.

Lifetime of memories in one night
This was an amazing experience and now I have great photos of my time in Lucerne! Ezra was a masterful tour guide and photo instructor. I'd do this tour again just for the experience of being with Ezra, feeling his passion for the art of photography and picking up some hints along the way.

Informative and personable
Luis was great! Our tour was for just me, my spouse and my mother-in-law. Luis was a pleasure on all fronts. His knowledge of Lucerne was deep and we learned a lot. I was the only one of us shooting photos, yet the others had a nice time as well. And I learned some nighttime photo skills that I had been wanting to learn for quite some time. He took us to some great spots. We really lucked out when the moon rose over Mt. Rigi when we were shooting from high above the city. Gorgeous! And my mother-in-law commented on how nice and personable Luis was, making the few hours spent together that much nicer.

A Beautiful and Insightful Tour
We had a wonderful evening seeing the sights of Lucerne with our knowledgeable tour guide Luis. Although we are amateur photographers, we captured some breathtaking photos of the old city. Luis taught us several helpful tips for taking iPhone photos, and we will remember this experience for years to come!

Perfect Way To Know Lucerne
Lucerne by Night Photo Tour is the best tour to get to know Lucerne. Luis is such professional, warm and thoughtful. I am glad he made suggestions to make our tour a little bit kore early to take advantage of the beautiful weather and the light. I also like how he gave “photography lesson” during our tour. I would gladly recommend new travelers to have this tour.
