5.00Had an amazing bike ride through the beautiful countryside and villages. Dave was our guide and this tour was our favorite in Switzerland. We got to experience riding through scenic hillsides, beautiful local farms and villages. Dave customized our tour a bit as we are experienced bike riders so we were able to cover more ground. The ride itself is not too challenging. The tour was accurately described and if you are looking to ride through the beautiful countryside this is the tour. The views of the lakes were special. It was a wonderful way to explore Switzerland's beauty.
Great Experience!

5.00We did this private e-bike tour with Livia, our guide. She was outstanding! She was very professional and personable. She is someone you would enjoy spending the day with out on an adventure. The entire experices was great, from booking to the actual day trip. Livia contacted us a day or so before about the departure time and trip details and she was very knowledgeable about the area. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip. It was a fun e-bike experience the return via boat was also different and enjoyable.
Take this tour!

5.00We had a fun day exploring the beautiful countryside and forest between Lucerne and Brunnen with Monika. Monika was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide! She shared history and stories of the area. She even suggested activities and attractions in other parts of the country we were visiting. It was a great experience!
Perfect introduction to our Swiss Adventure

5.00After meeting Livia in front of the train station, we quickly got our bikes and helmets and rode out of the town and into the country. She set a nice pace and pointed out interesting things along the way. Livia was lovely and told us all about Switzerland and it's history, as well as laughed and shared stories about herself. We shared a delicious lunch at a local restaurant about 2/3 of the way through the tour and then rode fast to catch the boat to take us on a 2 hour ride back to Lucerne. Everything about the tour was terrific. If you want to work hard, turn off the electricity. If you want to go easy, put it in auto mode. The air was so crisp, the country so pretty, and the company so pleasant that we would recommend this tour to everyone as a great way to see the area and understand the history and culture. And make sure to ring the bell at William Tell's chapel. Thanks Livia!
Guide Livia is the best!

5.00Dave’s local knowledge was so helpful and welcomed! He showed us everything and was the perfect balance of explaining the Swiss culture without over explaining it :)
So worth it!

5.00This bike tour was AMAZING! It was truly the highlight of our visit to Switzerland. Our guides Andrea and Monika were so awesome. They were knowledgeable about the area and its history. They were, also, more than happy to recommend other things to do and places to eat. The kids particularly enjoyed the shops at the farms along the trail. Do not miss the opportunity to truly experience Switzerland and all of its beauty!
Best Day EVER!

5.00This is one of those rare tours you'll never forget - its like "the most-best Swiss thing you can do" tour. Our guides (Glenn and Renee) were fantastic. The use of E-Bikes made the basic riding simple and turned 'killer' hills (not many of those) into a completely manageable ride. We stopped at some historic sites, circled Mt. Rigi and took short breaks whenever wanted (photo spots!). We stopped by a local farm, the Victorinox visitor site, and had a picnic lunch by lake Zugersee before riding to Brennan to catch the boat back to Lucerne. Best Day Ever - you won't regret a minute or a dime spent on this one!

5.00We had an excellent bike ride with Eve! She was super knowledgable about the area, prompt, and flex able ...she showed us what we were interested in and let us skip what wasn't. We came prepared with a light rain/wind jacket and didn't let the light rain bother us. The bikes were wonderful. Perfect for normally active middle 50 year olds who don't bike often. Anyone in good health, who can ride a bike will love it! Great way to see another side of Switzerland outside of the city. The only description I would change would be that you will go to a victorianox store in the town that the factory is in. You can only assembly your own knife if you are one of the 4 people who book early for that time slot. We ended up ordering ours ahead of time, complete with engraving. Really nice knife and probably better we weren't held to an exact time to be there. The boat ride was great. We ate in the cafe on board and the staff was very pleasant . Again Eve joined us while we ate and told us more about that beautiful country.
