My husband and I really enjoyed our walking tour of Lucerne with Rose. The pace was perfect, and she answered all of our questions without ever making us feel silly. Rose was incredibly knowledgeable about both Lucerne and the history of the region. She also knew the best places for photos and kindly offered to take pictures of us, so we ended up with some of our favorite photos from the trip. She made the tour fun, informative, and easy to enjoy. We would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting Lucerne.

We had a wonderful tour with Julia yesterday. It rained for a bit at the beginning, but she did a great job of pivoting and luckily it cleared up pretty soon. We were the only ones on the tour (probably because of the rain) so we asked lots of questions and she was very patient and knowledgeable. She’s also very personable and it was a joy to speak with her and get to know her a little better. She pointed out so many things that we would not have found or known on our own. She also kindly offered to take photos of us along the way at some of the scenic spots. Were very glad we were able to take this tour with Julia and would highly recommend it!
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! We are so glad that it worked out well at end! Looking forward to seeing you again in Switzerland 🇨🇭
A really interesting tour with Julia. She was a great guide -knew her history, answered lots of questions, and told lots of interesting, little-known stories. We passed several large tour groups on our way and were very grateful there were only six people on our tour. Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the intimate tour size We love keeping our groups small so the experience is more personable . We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
