Rude Staff & an Underwhelming Experience

When we asked staff at the Tourist Office, the woman acted like we committed some sort of cardinal sin. She was extremely rude, and provided very sparse instructions to the restroom that was multiple floors down in a train station. Our tour guide, Nicole, singled us out in front of the entire group asking us in an accusatory manner if we were with the group. We had previously checked in with her and provided our tickets, so this came as a shock. It truly disrupted our experience, and we felt shocked and upset. Many tour guests spent the remainder of the tour staring at us. Staff was very unfriendly, we would advise all to not booking this tour.

Operator response

Dear Nicou Thank you very much for your feedback and for taking the time to let us know about your experience during the city tour. We are always grateful for feedback from our guests, as it enables us to continuously improve our services. We are very sorry that you had a negative experience before the start of the city tour. We regret very much that this affected your overall impression. The experiences you have described also do not meet our expectations or the standards of the city tours we normally offer. However our guides need to check that all participants are part of the tour group to ensure that only authorised people take part in the tour. We are very sorry that this was done a second time in your case, and we understand that this can lead to an unpleasant situation. Your comments have been shared with the team and will be reviewed internally so that such situations can be avoided in future. We hope that, despite this experience, you were still able to enjoy your stay in Lucerne. Kind regards, Tourist Information Lucerne

Lucern Walk

Walking tour not a drive. We originally thought this was a bus tour. Not a big deal just not marketed correctly.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. This experience is intended as a guided walking tour of Lucerne and is described as such in the tour details and itinerary. We are sorry if the expectations were different and appreciate your comments, which help us make the description even clearer for future guests. We hope you had a pleasant stay in Lucerne and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards Tourist Information Team Lucerne

Claudia was very knowledgeable and gave a good tour. Spent a bit too long at KKL which ran us over when in the old town. Still a worthwhile experience.
