Dave was an AMAZING tour guide. We didn't know what to expect with this farm tour, but it went beyond our hopes. Walking through local farms, learning about the history of the region and eating delicious cheeses was unique, fun and entertaining. I would give this 6 stars or more if possible. Highly recommend!

Nice tour

Zachary_C, Aug 2025

Tour Guide Dave was very informative and friendly. The tour was light on cheese and farms (1 farm stop and 1 packaged cheese tasting). However, the information we learned about Switzerland from Dave was worth it and the views were nice. There was also a cool historic funicular involved.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed Dave’s insights, the beautiful views, and that charming historic funicular. We’ll keep your feedback in mind about the cheese and farm stops—it helps us make our tours even better.

Kelly_S, Aug 2024

A walking adventure (not too difficult) that took us through farmland, a beautiful working farm, flowers, apple and plum trees, a beautiful forest and two incredible funicular rides. Our guide Dave was knowledgeable, thoughtful and lovely.

Expensive

mazensinjab, Dec 2022

Amazing journey with an excellent and very kind guide but too expensive and the price does not match. It worths only 150$ as there were no transportation or expenses.

Ask for Ezra as your guide and it will be great!

Angela_J, Jul 2022

This tour was great because of my guide - Ezra. I have found that your guide is the most important part of the tour - it doesn't really matter what you're doing or seeing, as long as your guide is good. Please be aware - this tour is a strenuous hike, up a steep mountain, during the heat of the day. I did not really get this information from the description. As a result, Ezra modified the tour and once we got to the top of the mountain, we walked through the forest to Castle Gutsh, where we enjoyed a cold beer. It was 95 degrees, so it was oppressive. Then we headed down the mountain in the cable car, saw the oldest Apothecary in Switzerland, with it's spell book and owl! We visited the Jesuit church and ended at the Rooftop Bar, another welcome site with the heat. EZRA MADE the tour. His flexibility and wanting-ness to modify the tour to something that was more enjoyable for me was priceless and I appreciated it. Any tour you choose with Ezra will be FABULOUS!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Angela, thank you very much for the feedback. We are happy you had a good time with Ezra on this tour. We wish you a lovely Sunday and hope to welcoming you in Lucerne soon.
