Must do tour if you are in Lucern.

Sherly_M, Oct 2024

What a unique way to explore the country side of Lucern, with our tour guide Dave. We started our day with Dave meeting us at our hotel and taking us on a bus to the country side. Once we got there, the views, smells and interactions took our breath away. Even though it was a bit misty/foggy, it didnt prevent us from enjoying this stunning journey. Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the region. We loved soaking in all the tid bits that he shared. We also had our 4 year old with us. Dave was thoughtful and patient with our pace and very interactive and sweet with our little one. This is a must do tour and a great way to take you from the more crowded parts of Lucern to an area that will leave you with amazing memories. We also got a chance to see lots of farm animals close up.

My husband and I did this activity in July 2024 with Eve. We had an AMAZING time! I only have good things to say about the entire experience. Eve was so welcoming, kind, and so knowledgeable about the area we were in. We had fun and learned a lot. The walk is so beautiful it's hard to describe with words. If you're thinking about doing this activity, I 100% recommend it!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your amazing feedback! We're very happy to read that you had a great experience in Lucerne. Eve will be so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. We wish you all the best and we hope to see you again soon!

Great afternoon out!

Our guides provided a lite picnic snack in the countryside. Beautiful views even though it was a cloudy/raining day. We had a great time learning about the local culture.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Karen, thank you for the review, so kind of you. We are happy you enjoyed your time with our guides even though the weather was not perfect. We hope to see you and your husband back with us for a Rail Tour in the next years. We wish you a lovely rest of the day.

Loved this experience!

My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon walking through the country with Eve. She was so knowledgeable on the area, and provided lots of stories for us. We had a great view of the lake at one point, but the entire walk was very scenic! I would highly recommend incorporating this walk into your trip to Lucerne!

A Delight!

Monte S, May 2019

This walk through the beautiful countryside outside of Lucerne was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Eve, could not have been more thoughtful, friendly and informative, even providing us with a picnic lunch along the way. Truly a unique way to see some of the country far off the tourist paths. Highly recommended.
