Private Lucerne walking tour with local guide Livio. Chapel Bridge, Lake views, Lion Monument, best photo stops in 2 hours for $39.
“Tour was well paced and Livio provided great information about the city and sites.”
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 He was ready with pictures of historical references to places we visited, and we left knowing so much more about Lucerne than we would have with a self-guided tour.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.…”
A 1.5-hour Lucerne walking tour with an official guide, highlighting Chapel Bridge, old town squares, and the city’s wall system.

Swiss chocolate walking tour in Zurich with Sprüngli macarons, Lindt lessons, pralines, and Teuscher truffles plus Old Town sights.
“An interesting combo of city tour combined with the background and sampling of three of the most popular Swiss chocolatiers of Zurich. We got information on the city (present and past) and got to try the specialty of each of the three stores. Our guide was very friendly. With the noise of the traffic it was at times hard to understand. The information we got was interesting but a bit dry. A portion of humor would have lifted the group's spirit.”

“I would really recommend this walking tour with Lino. He was very enthusiastic on explaining all history and some of funny things in Zurich. The photo also really fast delivery via Line / Wechat / email. The amazing thing is he organizing the Photo into three category which is the original, the edit and he also choose the favorite one into another folder.

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.”
