    Our bus ride was comfortable and informative, and our guide was so helpful and kind. The cruise on Lake Lucerne was absolutely stunning, and you still have plenty of free time during the day to explore the city, eat lunch and do some shopping on your own time. The guide also gave us a map with all the major attractions in the city which was convenient and easy to follow. Overall a wonderful tour and would definitely recommend.

    It’s worth doing as they travel the back roads to Lucerne. Had a great guide. We enjoyed wondering round the city. Took a cruise on the lake. Went to the Lion monument.enjoyed the KKL ( culture center)Lucerne really needs more than a day to really enjoy it.

  • Do Lucerne yourself

    We did the Lake Lucerne cruise and visit. It was among our least favorite excursions, mostly due to the fact that we felt trapped in Lucerne like a rudderless ship. We were provided a rudimentary map and sent forth on our own. No information about sites to see and as a result, we simply went from church to church and wandered aimlessly up and down curt streets. We felt trapped in that we had to wait for the bus to return from the mountains and unless we wanted to spend the extra money to train back to Zürich, there was little to do. No wife available except at specific areas and all instructions were in Swiss German. We got on the shphyr boat for a circular one hour cruise. The viator app noted we had to download an app which we were unable to do and as it turned out, there were headsets available but nobody informed us that this was the proper route. The bus from the mountains was about 20-30 minutes late headed home. If all you are wanting to do is Visit Lucerne, save the fees and take the train yourself. Otherwise folks that visited the mountains seems to have a better time than us.

  • Nice day in Lucerne

    Tour was exactly what we expected so it was great. The lake cruise was nice and glad we took it. Lucerne is very nice and I feel like we spent a good amount of time there.

  • Easy, convenient
