5.00I absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide was terrific. We learned so much about the villas and history of Lucerne. I highly recommend this tour to others. This was a lot of walking but totally worth it. The pictures you are able to get are breathtaking. As a tourist you would not know about this path you take but as a local you do. Being able to take in the views and experience the town as a local was amazing.
