Nice tour walking the city and tasting chocolate !!
Thank you very much for your kind review!
Our tour guide Katiana was wonderful. Very engaging and informative about Lucerne. We went to see some of the highlights of the town. I gave 4 stars because I told Viator I was dairy free , yet we went to two chocolate shops that had nothing for me to try. The chocolate that I try was delicious!
Thank you for your positive review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the guide did a great job sharing information about Lucerne and the chocolate shops we visit. Regarding your dairy-free requirement, we did inform the guide in advance, but unfortunately, not all of the chocolate shops we visit offer dairy-free or vegan options in Switzerland. This is also why the tour includes visits to four different chocolate shops, giving our guests more opportunities to find chocolates that suit their dietary requirements. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the chocolate you were able to try, and we truly appreciate your feedback. We hope you had a wonderful time in Lucerne and enjoyed the rest of your trip in Switzerland!
Kateryna was great. She was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. We stopped at 4 different shops for chocolate. A great way to learn some local history and sample some of the best chocolate in Switzerland.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted you joined us. Wishing you safe travels and a wonderful time wherever your journey takes you next.
Very disappointing. 7 chocolate pieces from 3 shops for over $100. Very little education about the chocolatiers or what makes Swiss chocolate special. The walking tour also provided very limited information about the history of Lucern, tho did spotlight some historical buildings and notable artwork. Would not recommend. You would learn more on a self guided tour. Definitely not worth the cost. No criticism of the guide herself. She was pleasant and friendly. The tour itself needs to be more thoughtfully designed.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words about our guide and are happy to hear that she was friendly and pleasant throughout the tour. We are sorry that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We understand your comments regarding the amount of information provided about Swiss chocolate and Lucerne’s history. Sharing the stories, traditions, and background behind the places we visit is an important part of our tours, and we will use your feedback to continue improving the content and structure of the experience. Thank you again for your honest review. We truly value guest feedback as it helps us improve our tours and services.
The tour includes several small candy shops, so it is worthwhile…knowledgeable guide and comprehensive tour!
Happy to hear you had a great tour! Just to clarify, the chocolate stops are at traditional Swiss family-owned chocolate businesses rather than regular candy shops. Thanks so much for your support! 😊
Our family of five had a fun time seeing highlights of Lucerne and tasting chocolates from a variety of shops along the way. It was the perfect balance of food, sightseeing, and information. Our guide was friendly and informative, and all of the chocolate delicious!
It was a pleasure hosting you! Thank you for your kind review and for recognizing the guide’s dedication. We wish you safe and happy travels.
The tour was great. It was just the right length and we learned lots of cool stuff and got to taste a lot of good chocolate.
Your feedback means a lot to us! We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the guide’s efforts. Best wishes for the rest of your trip.
Katarina was terrific, although not native to Lucerne, we found her very knowledgeable about the city and country. She also took us to three of Lucerne’s chocolatiers, scrumptious!, Our two hours with her were a delight, we found ourselves wanting more. So would enthusiastically recommend her walking tour of Lucerne!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is wonderful to know that the guide contributed to such an enjoyable experience. Have an amazing trip ahead :)
Katarina was very knowledgeable and kind, with a sense of humor. And she took us to the best chocolate shops!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. We are glad the guide provided an enjoyable and informative experience. Safe travels!
Lovely Tour! Learned so much about the city and ate fabulous chocolate. Our guide was amazing. You will not regret this tour.
