5.00This tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Luis was engaging and knowledgeable about Lucerne. He was helpful about explaining the city sights and very nice about recommendations of where to go and what to see after our tour was over. He helped us find our boat rides and great restaurants. The walking part was doable and not overwhelming.
A great tour

5.00Wonderful walking tour with a very knowledgeable local tour guide. She was very verse in the history of her city and very enthusiastic with her details. The boat ride was a nice way to wind down the two hours of walking.
