“The tour guide Dave was amazing and his local knowledge exceptional…a really gentleman. The only problem is it was supposed to be a behind the scene cheese tasting tour as well as a tour of Lucerne. When we got to the cheese shop, the owner said he didn’t do the tour anymore. So I bought 2 slices of cheese and that was it!!!” No big deal, but when I called for a partial refund, never got an answer. Very disappointing. The town tour itself was well done.”

“This was the best walking tour I ever had! Luis was very knowledgeable on historical details about Lucerne. We walked around the lake and covered Lucerne's main landmarks. Also, his photography skills are outstanding! I brought my Nikon D7200 camera for this tour and it was nice to have a professional photographer to teach me the tips and tricks to take amazing pictures of Luzern! He was very patient with me changing on and off lenses and getting it right. He even took picture of me (which is very appreciated as I am the only one photographer in my family). I highly recommend his tour to anybody!”
