5.00Great tour! As people who are not familiar with Lucerne, this tour was great because Martina knew about the best places to eat, best places to visit, local legends, and many other fun facts. It really allowed us to enjoy Lucerne because we knew more about where to best spend our time. It was lots of fun!

5.00The Lucerne Walking and Boat tour was the perfect introduction to the city. In a relatively short time we got to know the old town and to see the main sights. Our guide Laslo was informative and friendly, with a great sense of humor. He made the tour very enjoyable.
Great way to get to know the history of Luzern.

5.00The walking tour was a fantastic way to see both new and old parts of Lucerne. Luis was an excellent guide. We chose to do the boat ride a few hours after the walking tour and it was beautiful.

5.00This was a very thorough tour of Lucerne. We feel like it was a comprehensive overview of the history and major points of the city. Diego was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The boat portion was not guided. Beautiful views and a unique perspective of the area. We used google AI for a self guided tour of the lake and surrounding areas.
