      Definitely Recommend!
      We enjoyed a very nice walk around the city of Lucerne with Luis! The chocolates we tasted were great and we loved learning more about the family business! Part of the tour included an elevator ride up to the castle which is not something we would have done on our own and the views were incredible! The wine and cheese was also great and we really like tasting different Swiss made foods and drinks! Overall we really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend for anyone else looking to enjoy the beautiful city of Lucerne.

      Ended up with a private tour!
      Had a nice two hour tour with Isabella! I was the only person in our group, and it felt like I was walking around with a new friend. Isabella shaped the tour on what I was interested in, and we even stopped at a little farm shop to pick up some chocolate. A top moment was going to see the Lion of Lucerne, which was beautiful and moving. Isabella gave me a history of the sculpture and also gave me some space to enjoy the memorial. Isabella knew her history of Lucerne and had great recommendations for after the tour ended. She even helped me look up trains and trams to get to Mt Pilatus when we parted ways. Would recommend for some history and getting the lay of the land in Lucerne!

      Fabulous Lucerne Experience
      Fabulous tour and Martina was a wonderful guide. Great mix of food, local sights and culture. Don’t skip the boat ride! Highly recommended.

      Walking Tour great, boat tour worthless
      Luise did a fantastic job on walking tour of Luzern. Unfortunately the boat portion of trip was WORTHLESS as it didn't until dark and there was no information provided about the 1 hour + boat trip and no services available onboard ( no beverages or snack). Bottom line is a total waste of time and a refund for the boat ride be issued. Once again walk tour by Luis was great, boat tour portion worthless.

      Luzern with an expert!
      Our guide, Luis, was excellent! He communicated with us directly the day before to confirm our meet location and he met us exactly on time! Small group of 3 couples; it was sooooo good!! Luzern is a beautiful city, but Luis gave it life with his enthusiasm for its history, his passion and his knowledge; it was great!!

      Private tour proves worthwhile
      Luis was our guide and he was great. First, he contacted us to see if we could meet him earlier because of predicted afternoon rain. We caught an earlier train and started an hour early. He was dead on, as soon as the walking tour ended, the rain started. Luis led us through many of the center city and old town sights and provided an excellent commentary including some history. We pointed out sights, shops, and restaurants to spend more time at after the tour. Luis then gave us tickets for a one hour boat tour on Lake Lucerne which was enjoyable, relaxing, and dry even with the rain. All in all, a superb day.

      Fun time and good way to learn more about Lucerne
      My wife and I did this tour recently while on vacation in Lucerne. The tour guide Luis was engaging and easy to talk with. We started with chocolate in the train station. Lot of options to try and great way to learn about the company and owners. Then we walked up to the Hotel Chateau Gutsch (well we took the elevator up and down). Nice views from top of hill overlooking city. Weather not ideal this day but that is not tour company's fault. Then you end with cheese and wine. We added on the optional boat tour. Highly recommend taking boat tour. Fun time and good way to spend afternoon in Lucerne.

      Loved Our Lucerne Tour with Luís!
      My wife and I went on this tour with Luís and it was our favorite tour during our entire vacation. Luís is so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about Switzerland and Lucerne. He was constantly sharing stories and the history of the places we visited. We went to a chocolate factory, walked around much of Lucerne's historical streets with an incredible view overlooking the city, and finished with a boat ride for another perspective of the city and a gorgeous view of the mountains from the water. We would definitely go on another tour with him and highly recommend taking one of his tours!

      Wonderful excursion!
      Our guide was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of history about Lucerne and culture of the area, in addition to the wine and cheese tasting. When reading this tour, I found the description about the castle confusing. You will to an area near the edge of town (or away from tourist section), and take a large elevator up the mountain to the castle, which is now a hotel. There you’ll be able to hang out on the veranda and take beautiful photos of Lucerne. We happened to have a gorgeous sunny day. Given this, the activities, and great guide (Luz) we had a great time!

      Good city for
      The city for was very good. The boat for was just okay. Partly because it was a cold day, but there's not really much to see on the boat. Just ride around and see the shoreline villages.

    Incrível experiência! Para quem vai a Lucern, penso que é um passeio imperdível. Pagamos 35 francos suíços porque tínhamos o swiss pass... Pegamos trem "normal" até uma estação próxima e depois o trem mais incluinado do mundo! É uma inacreditável obra prima de engenharia! No topo, visão deslumbrante, de encher os olhos! Para descer, bondinho... É um passeio longo, com muitas trilhas, paisagem de quadro, vacas suíças pastando, rsrs, enfim, maravilhoso!

    Vale a pena fazer esse passeio. Tivemos uma experiência incrível! De Alpnachstad, pegamos o funicular e subimos até o topo. O dia estava claro e as paisagens fantásticas!
    No retorno, descemos de teleférico (gôndola para 4 pessoas).
