Great tour of major sites in old town Lucern - Tour guide was prompt, professional, extremely knowledgeable and knew the right path to all of the major attractions. He even took us on to some lesser known places with beautiful art and had fantastic stories. It was a whirlwind journey through old Lucerne. Highly recommend!

Lucerne in 2 hours - Ralf was very knowledgeable. The explanation of the Dance of Dead panels was perfect! We learned all about not just the history of Lucerne but also a small bit of Switzerland as well! The lion sculpture was quite impressive.

Good for family groups - Very nice tour of the city easy walking for older members of the family and little ones as well. The private tour was excellent as we were picked up on time at the hotel and enjoyed detailed information about the city. Super nice guide - he even gave us postcards to bring home.

A must! - Ralf was an extraordinary guide. He shared knowledge of the history of Lucerne through both stories and pictures he carried with him. He easily went between political history, religious history, art history and architectural history as we came upon the many landmarks. I highly recommend his tour as a great way to get acquainted with Lucerne—past and present.

Fantastic city tour with a very knowledgeable and personable tour guide. - Our tour guide, Ralph was fantastic! He showed us parts of Lucerne we wouldn't have found on our own. He shared the history of this area with us, interesting facts, and descriptions. Showed us the old town area, explained the changes throughout history, and events that occurred. He was punctual in picking us up. I highly recommend him.

Amazing Guide - One of the best walking tours I have ever been on. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and considerate. He made recommendations for us for dinner that turned out to be one the bast meals we had the whole trip. Would recommend this tour as a first and must once arriving in Lucerne.
