Small-group Lucerne walking tour with optional 1-hour Lake Lucerne cruise. Chapel Bridge, towers, fortifications, and Swiss stories.
“Luis is a lovely, energetic, passionate tour guide who knows so many people and random tidbits about Lucerne that make the tour come alive with a personal feeling. He was ready with pictures of historical references to places we visited, and we left knowing so much more about Lucerne than we would have with a self-guided tour. I do wish the Viator tour description had been a little more specific, as I would have booked and planned differently. I booked the tour+cheese/wine+boat option, which turned out to be 2 hours of a walking tour around Old Town Lucerne ending in a cheese and wine tasting at Opus, a local restaurant.…”

“It was a wonderful experience. Timon is a local and, it is clear, loves Lucerne. He is very knowledgeable about the history, politics and art of the town. He speaks English really well and can explain things very clearly. He brought us around the old and new parts of the city and told us about the traditions and customs. I would strongly recommend visitors to Lucerne to go on the tour with him.”

He never went around the lobby to see If our group was there. He never called my name. I finally went to the front desk and the receptionist said he was sitting in the corner.
