5.00The walking tour was a very different way to see the area. The scenery was lovely and we got to see an area we had not been tour. Our tour guide was a lovely young girl who had a passion for the city.
Great Experience and Tour Guide.

5.00First visit to Lucern and we scheduled a private walking tour of Old Town as well as 2 local chocolate tastings. Lou was our guide and she was amazing! She was very knowledge and was able to provide extra commentary on other places for us to visit while on our own in the city. Lou - thank you for a wonderful afternoon filled with a history of Lucern and delicious local chocolates!

3.00Our tour guide was great! We paid for a 4 hour tour and only received 2 hours and 15 minutes. In view of this, we are reimbursement for the short fall.
Highly recommend!

5.00Madeleine was wonderful! Accommodated our every request. It was informative and fun.🤩 the villa walk was an easy trek but brought us into beautiful gardens and scenic sites of the lake.
Couldn’t be any prettier!

5.00We did a private walking tour around the lake and were able to see how much beauty there is without a lot of people around. Would recommend it highly! Ezra was an amazing guide and went above and beyond for us and answered all of our questions.
