5.00Echo Rails did a wonderful job. The guide, Leo, met us at train station and walked us to hotel to drop off luggage. He taught us how to use the phone apps to get around. Then he guided us all around Chapel Bridge in Lucerne and told us Interesting history stories. He was delightful with a strong passion and love for Switzerland. I dont think anyone could do any better! A great experience and introduction to Switzerland!

5.00We did a Cheese Farm Tour in Lucerne. Our guide, Zoie, was incredible. She was fun to talk to, took great pictures, was very knowledgeable of the city, and was overall the highlight of our 3 nights in Switzerland .
Must do tour if you are in Lucern.

5.00What a unique way to explore the country side of Lucern, with our tour guide Dave. We started our day with Dave meeting us at our hotel and taking us on a bus to the country side. Once we got there, the views, smells and interactions took our breath away. Even though it was a bit misty/foggy, it didnt prevent us from enjoying this stunning journey. Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the region. We loved soaking in all the tid bits that he shared. We also had our 4 year old with us. Dave was thoughtful and patient with our pace and very interactive and sweet with our little one. This is a must do tour and a great way to take you from the more crowded parts of Lucern to an area that will leave you with amazing memories. We also got a chance to see lots of farm animals close up.

5.00My husband and I did this activity in July 2024 with Eve. We had an AMAZING time! I only have good things to say about the entire experience. Eve was so welcoming, kind, and so knowledgeable about the area we were in. We had fun and learned a lot. The walk is so beautiful it's hard to describe with words. If you're thinking about doing this activity, I 100% recommend it!
Great afternoon out!

5.00Amazing views. Tour guide was fantastic. Very informative and helpful. Despite finishing the walk early, Ezra took us through "Old Town" and showed much of the history and area to help my wife and I understand the area.
Loved this experience!

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon walking through the country with Eve. She was so knowledgeable on the area, and provided lots of stories for us. We had a great view of the lake at one point, but the entire walk was very scenic! I would highly recommend incorporating this walk into your trip to Lucerne!

5.00Andre and Julia were my guides for a fantastic, informative walk through the Lucerne countryside. They were very friendly and very knowledgeable about all things Swiss. They also gave me tips on hiking in Switzerland that helped me for the remainder of my stay.
