Cruise through typically Swiss villages and explore the hidden gems without the tourist crowd. The most unique and fun way for a discovery ride, even if it`s your first time on an e-bike.
Why is it so important to be on time in Switzerland? How many languages do the Swiss speak? Are we all rich? On this cultural bike tour of Lucerne, you will discover how and why the Swiss people think and behave differently from the rest of the world. All the while, cruising in and around Lucerne on our specialized electric cargo bikes. The tour has five stops, each offering a different perspective on the fascinating traditions and stereotypes of the nation and its citizens. The tour starts at the Caritas Velostation, next to Lucerne’s Central Train Station. From there, we will ride outside of the city towards Horw, passing stunning historical buildings and continuing to an old railway track near one of the wealthiest areas of Switzerland－the not-so-touristy side of the city. As we reach Lake Lucerne, we will take a break and grab a typical Swiss snack while enjoying a magnificent view of Mount Pilatus and the stunning Swiss Alps. After enjoying the vista and taking a couple of pictures, we’ll cruise around the Horwer Peninsula along a safe street with further spots to take more photos of the impressive landscape. We will end the tour back at the Caritas Velostation, with an official immigration test, where you’ll have the chance to secure your own Swiss passport. Feel free to ask your guide for any local tips before continuing to tour the city feeling more like a local than when you started the tour.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Sama. He was an excellent guide. He was very prompt, hospitable, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He took us to beautiful areas along Lake Lucerne we would have never explored on our own. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

This tour truly stood out during our visit to Lucerne! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Our guide Samo was incredibly friendly and eager to help, making the experience even more enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Thank you Myrna for your amazing review, we are super happy that you enjoyed our hidden gems tour and had a great time with Sama. Enjoy the rest of your trip in Switzerland. Cheers The Loop Team
We were a party of 5 and truly enjoyed the experience of cycling through the cities and Lake Lucerne. The view by the lake was fantastic and our guide, a native Somalian was wonderful. He provided us with enough information and snacks that made the trip both educational and fulfilling. I highly recommend going on this 2-3 hours tour. (We took longer bcs we are seniors and it took a while to learn to maneveur the e-cargo safely).
The tour was a very unique way to see the beauty of Lucerne while learning about the cantons and history. Our guide, Sama, was engaging and informative. I would highly recommend to others.
Thank you so much for your review, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Sama and some more then just the regular tourist attractions. Best regards from the Loop Team
