All walking but our guide... - All walking but our guide Ueli was wonderful and made this start to our trip very memorable. He gives you a great start to what and where to go.

A very worthwhile introduction to Lucerne - Relaxed and informative tour of the old town, nice lunch buffet at the Globus department store. Abraham even stayed with us for the full trip around the lake. He is an informed and experienced native of the region.

nice and informative walk - The walking tour was informative and relaxed, with just the right amount of history and fun facts. Our guide Rudy is from Lucerne, was super friendly and made everyone feel welcome. The lake cruise at the end was a beautiful, peaceful finish, even we were on the shuttle boat as the panoramic boat does not yet operate.

Nice personal tour. - Martin was our guide and was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was great getting a view of the city from a local perspective. He was able to explain what we saw and give us the history and cultural background. Really enjoyed our time with him.

Beautiful Lucerne - Our tour guide was so great. He did a great job. Our only criticism is not about him, but the "cruise on Lake Lucerne" is not what I would consider a cruise of the lake at all. It was a ferry ride to drop other patrons off at another stop and then came back. That is not a "touristy cruise" - it was just tagging along on a passenger drop off.

Great day exploring - Had a great day with our tour guide, however it was a little hard to find them as the instructions are clear enough where to meet and the guide was wearing nothing to indicate they were the guide, we had to take a guess and approach random people! Knowledgable day and great boat tour

Not worth the money$$$! - Tour director needs a microphone and audio should be provided- difficult to hear. We skipped the walking tour and only did the boat cruise at the end which we would not recommend- not enough outdoor platforms. Abraham was knowledge . Also website said 2 hr tour but told more like 4hrs.

Definitely not worth the money! - Our guide was not local, but arrived by train from Zurich. We walked around the city with one other couple. Our guide knew when the churches were built/burned down/rebuilt, but not much else. We learned about the Lion of Lucerne, grabbed a sandwich. Because we waited in the shade for the boat trip, we missed the chance for seats with a good view. A total waste of $200!
