Rose was a wonderful guide who opened up wonderful girth of knowledge and hidden places I would have either missed or under appreciated had she not shown our family. We had wandered through the streets for two days prior to our tour and could not have known this history. Highly recommend her tour.
Learned a lot about Lucerne

Rose was our guide for a terrific walking tour of Lucerne. We lucked out by being the only ones for that slot. Rose was fun, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. She presented a great deal of info in a short amount of time. Most importantly, she helped us become familiar with the city which came in handy when we were on our own. You'll enjoy this tour.
A great adventure

Our guide, Rose, was amazing!!! She kept the tour at a relaxing pace, yet fast enough to thoroughly cover everything. She was enthusiastic, energetic, extremely interesting, sweet, and patient. We learned so much and really explored the area. She gave great recommendations for where to eat and go after the tour as well. I would highly recommend her.
Great tour!
