total disappointment and a scam

1.00A tour guide, Emil, was a lovely gentleman, but shared very little knowledge with us in regards to the Lucerne history. for the amount of money that we paid for this tour, we would have expected a much better tour. Save your money and take the train to Lucerne yourself and then take the boat tour! when we asked aviator for a partial refund as we paid almost $2000 for four of us, they refused. Lucerne is absolutely beautiful, but you can look up all the information online. That is basically what our tour guide did. we are still in shock at how much we paid for nothing.

3.00The trip was overpriced. Although guide was a nice and friendly person her knowledge of Lucerne town was limited. She had to go online to check facts many times. USD 950 is definitely overpriced for what was done.

5.00We met our guide at the train station. Only one recommendation and that would be that your guides have some kind of identifier as a Viator guide. Abraham was amazing! He took train from Lucerne to pick us up in Basel! It was so nice having a knowledgable individual to direct us thru the process! His tour and knowledge of Lucerne left us all with lasting memories! He directed us to a local restaurant. The food was amazing! The boat trip also beautiful! Despite some light rain we had an amazing day!!! Thank you!!!
Great tour or lucerne

5.00Learning the history, seeing the beauty and our wonderful guide Oscar who went well out of his way to accommodate our needs and made sure we had a valued experience. He truly made the tour remarkable.

5.00Even though it rained during our entire trip, our guide was wonderful and the group was small. It was easy to find our guide in the train station and easy to hear him with only 8 in our group. Train ride was comfortable. The Lion monument was covered for cleaning, so that was a bit of a let down. The guide didn't make us walk there for nothing. But lunch in an authentic Swiss restaurant was awesome and delicious. Great choice. The boat cruise was also impressive. A good narrative with snow on the peaks of the Alps. Rainy day or not, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend.

5.00I was thrilled our tour guide was able to arrange for my daughter and me to add the cogwheel train ride to the top of Mount Pilatus which turned out to be the highlight of the tour. Although, we did enjoy the scenic lake cruise IMMENSELY, too!
