Our tour guide, Luis Medina was and outstanding young man with tremendous knowledge and affability. Our group was small which made moving point to point easy. Luis demonstrated a true love for Switzerland and Luzern by his passion. We had a wonderful time with him.

This was an amazing tour, especially thanks to our guide, Tanya. When we booked it, we thought the cruise would be the highlight. It was beautiful to see the lake and an hour was just the right amount of time. Tanya met us afterwards and we spent two hours walking the city with her. It turned out to be just us so we essentially had a private tour and her knowledge of her city was impressive and very informative. The Chapel Bridge, the Lion monument, and the City Wall and Towers were the highlights and her stories about them were comprehensive and well-told. We elected for the wine and cheese tasting afterwards had further opportunity to hear about the city from her. We took her recommendation a place to eat which finished off a great afternoon!

We had a great time on the walking/boat tour of Lucerne! Luis, who runs the company, worked with us to schedule the tour around our schedule, and kept in contact on the day leading up to the tour. Tanja, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history and sites in Lucerne, and my wife and I enjoyed walking around the city with her. The second part of the tour was a boat ride on Lake Lucerne to Burgenstock and back, and we were able to see the beautiful city and surrounding countryside from the water. Unfortunately, it was raining for the entire tour, but the rain did not dampen our enjoyment of the tour. We highly recommend this tour!

Great Tour of Lucerne

Tanja was a great tour guide. Born and raised in Lucerne, and she definitely had a passion for her beautiful city. The initial boat portion was a scenic ferry ride across Lake Lucerne to Burgenstock and back. It would have been nice to have some commentary on the boat. But Tanja did a great job of explaining everything during the walking tour. I learned much about the history of the region, and saw things that I never would have without an experienced tour guide. Bring comfortable hiking shoes, water and expect to do some moderate uphill walking. The views and photo opportunities are definitely worth the effort. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is in good physical shape.

Hi Eric. Many thanks for your comment. Tanja, our tour guide, will love to know about it! Lucerne is indeed the most beautiful Swiss city! Since you visited our city during Covid time restrictions didn't allow many people on the boat and therefore no Audioguide was provided. Anyway, now with no restrictions at all Audioguide is being handed in again when boarding the Lake Cruise in 7 different languages. We explain all about the lake and the beautiful alpine landscape along our walking tour, besides the main sites and hidden treasures of the city. Hope to see you again in Lucerne:)

Great tour and even better tour guide!

Our family booked this tour on Viator during our first day in Lucerne. Our guide, Luis, met us promptly at the meeting point and greeted us with a smile. Throughout the tour, Luis was very accommodating by allowing us to adjust the pace of our walking tour allowing for plenty of photo opportunities and Luis also offered to take our photos on several occasions. The tour covered several tourist destinations and gave us a good idea of the layout of most of the tourist areas of the city and ended with a boat ride which was quite relaxing after much walking. Luis was a great host, fluent in German, English and Spanish and very attentive. He recommended several restaurants depending on cuisine and gave suggestions on places to visits on our own time. We learned much about the history of Lucerne through Luis.
