Scenic tour on the outskirts of Lucerne

5.00My parents and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Monika, was prompt, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. She gave us options along the way and it never felt like we were rushing or being paraded around. We got some wonderful goodies, were able to meet animals and farmers, and enjoyed the magnificent scenery above Lucerne. As a precaution this tour is more on the 'hike' side of things. Monika was very understanding of my parents ability to go up and down mountains quickly and be one slippery terrain. She was prepared with walking sticks and shoe spikes, so none of the walk was very difficult, but do be prepared for 3-4 hours outside and on paths with hills.
Amazing

5.00Some treacherous walking trails, should have been aware of these before booking. Otherwise, it was very nice though not what we expected. Thought we would be visiting inside a farm house, where we’d be served our delicious cheese and flavorful wine. Having said all this, our guide, Dave was EXCELLENT!
We loved it

5.00We absolutely loved the Farms & Cheese Tour! Our tour leader Amalia was amazing – full of energy, knowledge, and made the whole experience so much fun. The tour itself was super relaxed and accessible, even for those who aren't great on foot, which made it very inclusive. We saw a wonderful variety of animals, from cows to even a turtle. It’s also lovely to see how the tour supports the local farm shop. I could imagine a more challenging version of the tour being fun too – perhaps more tailored for locals or Swiss guests who are up for a bit more of a hike. But for tourists, the current level is absolutely perfect. No improvement suggestions from our side – just a heartfelt thank you for a fantastic day!
Incredible views and wonderful guide
