A beautiful city to spend your day exploring!

We enjoyed the city. Easy to walk around and take in the sights. The cafe’s by the water were comfortable for an afternoon bite to eat.

Raffael, Jean and Juan were amazing! They conducted this beautiful tour in 2 languages with many people going in different directions and made it so smooth. Lucerne is beyond beautiful and not to be missed and this tour gave you enough time to really enjoy it all.
