Per one customer who booked the Official Guided City Tour of Lucerne, "We had a fabulous walking tour with Anna Maria. We have taken many walking tours in various European cities, and this was one of the best tours! Anna Maria is a wealth of knowledge and was very passionate about sharing her knowledge of Lucerne. She also pointed out several things for us to do on our own after the tour, which we decided to do and enjoyed them. If you have an opportunity to do this tour, you will not regret it!"
