Lucerne - A BEAUTIFUL CITY

5.00I selected a Viator walking tour of Lucerne as I found that this is a great way to learn about a city I visit. My guide was Luis. He was excellent. His knowledge of Lucerne was second to none. It turned out to be a private tour as I was the only person on that tour. I recommend this tour. The boat ride was 1 hour around the lake and the views were spectacular. Thank you
Great views and pics

5.00Luis, our guide was lovely! It was a very personalized tour in that he kept the guest numbers low. There was only us 2, and one other family of 4. Luis was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this beautiful city. He answered all our questions with ease. We highly recommend this tour!
Walking, boating, and wine tasting!!

5.00We had a delightful day with Luis starting off with a boat ride and commentary of Lake Lucerne. We had asked about a wine tasting at one of the vineyards and while other companies couldn't pull it off, Luis did! We took a beautiful walk up the cobblestone roads and thru the neighborhoods to get to the Ottiger Winery. We sat outside in the vineyard to begin the wine tasting and then make our way into the tasting room to sample many more bottles of wine along with local cheese, grapes and pastry. We had the best time and some beautiful pictures taken by Luis. From there we boarded a bus and took in some of the great views of the city. A perfect and very personalized day! We received the pictures two days ago and were beautifully done. Highly recommend Luis' tours!
