What To Expect
Torbogen Luzern
The archway, originally part of the Lucerne train station built in 1896, was the only element to survive a devastating fire in 1971. Today, it stands as a protected landmark and a symbol of transience and change in Lucerne's cityscape. The inscription "Sic transit gloria mundi" reminds us of the impermanence of human achievements.
Jesuit Church Lucerne
Built between 1666 and 1677, the Jesuit Church is Switzerland's first major Baroque church. Constructed by the Jesuits during the Counter-Reformation, it aimed to strengthen the Catholic faith in the region. This magnificent structure remains a prominent example of Baroque sacred architecture and a defining feature of Lucerne’s cityscape.

5.00Benjamin is a true gem of a guide in Lucerne. He is enthusiastic, personable, knowledgeable, and eager to answer questions. It felt like a friend showing us his favorite city. I would highly recommend him to anyone. We learned so much in a short period of time and got a real feeling for the spirit of this beautiful place.
Jeremy was a great guide....

5.00Jeremy was a great guide. I happened to be the only one signed up for this day. It was great getting to know some of the history of the city plus getting to know my way around it so I could continue on my own once the tour was done.
Happy time in Lucern.

5.00I was unsure at first because there weren’t many reviews, but I’m glad I joined! The tour was well organized and very interesting. It’s a great way to explore Lucerne and learn about its history. Walking through the city with a knowledgeable guide gave a whole new perspective – much better than just wandering around alone. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Lucerne.
Surprisingly insightful and very well done

5.00I normally don’t write Tripadvisor reviews (who has the time?), but this tour deserves it. At first, I was a bit skeptical since the tour is quite new, but our guide Benjamin made it an incredibly pleasant and engaging experience. I’ve been to Lucerne several times and thought I knew the city well, but I was surprised by how much I learned through the historical context he provided. A great mix of storytelling, history, and local insight. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to discover a deeper side of Lucerne!
Make sure the tour operator knows your booking is confirmed.

2.00I really wanted this tour to be worth the money we paid, but the tour guide knew very little about the area—even without his binder, which he didn’t have with him. Granted, I booked the tour several hours in advance, he must not have checked his email or text and it wasn’t until I called him that he knew we were waiting for him at the meeting point. As luck would have it, he was actually very near by so it started only 10 min later than scheduled. Not worth the money we paid, but since the charge was transacted at the time of the booking we gave it a go.
