What are people saying about Lucerne

Barbara_F, Jun 2026

Walk Through Lucerne

There must have been some cancellations for this tour, because we were asked if we could reschedule. We couldn’t and our guide, Anna, graciously took just the two of us on an interesting and informative walk through Lucerne, even recommending a great, authentic Swiss restaurant where we could celebrate a birthday. The city’s history came alive through her narration. Thank you, Anna.

Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne

Susan_W, Jun 2026

We considered doing this...

We considered doing this on our own, but we’re so glad we chose to take this tour instead. It would have been impossible to cover as much ground as efficiently as we did with Kid, our tour guide. He was such a character, took great care of us all day, and had incredible energy. Kid guided us to the best photo spots along the route and knew exactly how to maximize our time between trains and cable cars. He made sure we captured great photos and videos at all the key points, often stepping in to take photos of us. It was refreshing to relax and let someone else handle the logistics. Kid kept everything running smoothly, guiding us seamlessly from one stop to the next. Once we reached Jungfraujoch, he gave clear direction on how to make the most of our time there. Thanks to the efficient transitions, we were able to see everything, enjoy a relaxing lunch, and still stay on schedule for the return journey. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an incredible experience without the stress of planning or worrying about missing connections. It was a fantastic day!

Mount Pilatus Summit from Lucerne With Lake Cruise

Deb_H, Jun 2026

Fabulous Half Day Trip

A wonderful half day trip up the mountain. Starts with a short bus ride, a small 4 person gondola ride halfway up the mountain then change to a larger one to get to the top. Magnificent views all the way back over Lucerne. There is plenty of free time at the top, walks/hikes to do and more amazing views. To return, a funicular type train ride (very steep) then onto a boat for the last 40 mins or so across the lake back to Lucerne. A wonderful time- would highly recommend it.

This was a very thorough...

This was a very thorough tour of Lucerne. We feel like it was a comprehensive overview of the history and major points of the city. Diego was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The boat portion was not guided. Beautiful views and a unique perspective of the area. We used google AI for a self guided tour of the lake and surrounding areas.

Karen_J, Jun 2026

What a Day!

We did this tour on our own with no problems. We had to book our own train to get there and back. Getting off the train to begin catch Bus 1 going to Kierns across the street from Lucerne Railroad Station. When off that bus you see signs directing you to Pilatus Gondolas, a nice 1/4 mile walk. It’s worth what you will see. Everything else you will do is just a few steps away. Had a wonderful time.

Lucerne: Grindelwald, Interlaken & Lauterbrunnen Guided Day Trip

Malin_N, Jun 2026

Great experience

We had a great experience. I had read many reviews and knew that the bus was coming from Zurich and would have many passengers already when we boarded in Lucerne. Luckily we got to sit together. In Grindelwald, we took the gondola up to Mount First, had lunch there and walked around. It was gorgeous and the weather cooperated until we headed to Lauterbrunnen. The guides, Gaby and Nilsen, were great and we learned a lot about the area. Thanks! Heads up, the Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen stops are short but understandable because it is already a long day.

The heart of Lucerne with the Etuktuk

William_H, Apr 2026

Great way to see the city

Pascal was a great tour guide. His TukTuk was very clean and comfortable. He even had several nice blankets for us to use if we wanted to, but it was such a beautiful that was not necessary. We saw several "behind the scenes" spots that are not on the tourist radar. We were also able to travel through the pedestrian zones in his TukTuk. A great way to end the day!

Fabulous Lucerne walking tour with Annamaria

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!
