What are people saying about Lucerne

Charles_I, Jun 2026

A lovely day on Mount Rigi

Our tour guide Robert was great, guiding us through a lovely ferry ride to a charming cog wheel train ride to the top of the mountain where we experienced amazing views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding countryside. Robert offered several options for activities, lunch and the return down. We chose to hike down, not a difficult hike. Pro tip, choose the path to Hotel Edelweiss Rigi and have lunch there, you’ll be glad you did. After lunch, we continued the hike to Kaltbad where we caught the cable car to Weggis, followed by a short ferry ride back to Lucerne. A lovely day!

This was a great way to see 3-4 locations in one day. The tour guide was on time and knowledgeable and accommodating. Also we got to spend enough time in each spots and take pictures. I always book through viator when I am traveling and only had great experiences so far.

The earlier the better.

An amazing way to explore not just the Mountain but transportation options around the city as well. Medium paced experience never feeling rushed or hurried. I wish we would have done it sooner in our visit. I do wish they would have pointed out we needed our visitor card to return by bus on the last leg. One call to the hotel fixed that easily though. The experience varies greatly by quick changes in weather.

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.

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.

Spectacular Tour

Kid was amazing and made the tour very special. It is a cliche to say the tour guide was amazing but kid was the best tour guide we have ever had and we have travelled the whole world. He took care of every detail on the whole day from where to stand for great photo opportunities to handing us our train tickets seconds before we needed them. He really did go above and beyond for the whole day and took care of us. The tour was amazing but Kid made the tour amazing.

Delightful Walking Tour

This was an entertaining and very informative tour. Our guide, Anna, presented the sites in an orderly manner with clear explanations of each along with lots of historical background for each. We came away from the tour knowing much, much more about Lucerne than we could have learned through reading guidebooks or internet articles.

Stephanie_D, May 2026

Great Trip, great guide. Shame about the drop off

Our guide was fabulous, friendly and helpful. This trip was spectacular. We were very lucky with the weather, which meant the views were incredible. The only criticism is that on the way back to our pick up / drop off point in Lucerne, the road was closed, so it felt like we were kicked off the bus with no warning, and told to walk in the wrong direction to find our own way back.

This was a great tour...

This was a great tour with the perfect blend of history, culture, and of course cheese and chocolate. Our guide Sarah was wonderful! She shared her love of her city and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. It was so nice to spend the afternoon learning about Lucerne and tasting chocolate/cheese with her!

Debbie_C, Oct 2025

Outstanding Tour, but explanation needs revision.

The experience was outstanding, but the explanation was very confusing. 1. Explain that start times are optional. We should have started much earlier. There was so much to do and see. 2. Explain that one activity ends, and the other begins at that exact site. The flow was unclear.

Amit_M, Aug 2025

Great way to see beautiful nature

Great experience to enjoy the beautiful mountains and the scenery. No guides, but everything was perfectly arranged. There was no hassle in getting access to any listed activities. Definitely be prepared for a whole day of action and requires lot of walking. Highly suggest to plan extra time to explore the various activities in the park at the top. It can get pretty busy in the afternoon and wait for the slide ride was about 1hr, but was a good experience.
