Luis was amazing guide. He’s very knowledgeable about wine, cheese and other tasty treats. This was best of this type of tour. The stops were planned; everything was organized and ready. We enjoyed the progression. Everything was delicious but not too much. Each stop was delicious. Luis knows Lucern!!

Luis gave great tips not only during the tour but also for our visit to Lucerne. All the food stops were delicious. Nice relaxing pace

Ask for Laszlo!

James_W, Oct 2025

This was a fantastic introduction to Lucerne's Old Town, it's food and culture. Our guide Laszlo was absolutely lovely and I would suggest requesting him if at all possible. I had the BEST BEER OF MY LIFE on the tour, and we went back to some of the places the next day just because we enjoyed the food so much.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear James. We are very glad to read that you like the Culinary tour in Lucerne! We will pass on the message to Laszlo. Thanks a lot for your visit and we wish you happy travels! :)

This is not the food tour to book

LaDonna_P, Oct 2024

We book a food tour in every city that we visit. We booked this particular tour because it claimed to be a unique culinary experience. This food tour was the worst food tour we have ever taken. We expected maybe fondue or rosti. Instead we tasted 3 cheeses (two Brie and one mountain cheese) and a glass of wine, sausage and sauerkraut and a beer, approximately one teaspoon x3 liquors, chocolate, and the last place was to choose a drink off of the restaurant’s menu (soda, coffee, or alcohol). The chocolate was plentiful but all others were minimal. Our guide was a lovely lady, but we felt the need to carry the conversation. Needless to say, we left the tour hungry. The kicker was that we paid double what the other tours charged for the “unique culinary experience.” Oh well, live and learn.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Ladonna. This is a "Culinary tasting tour" with enough Swiss samples of Cheese, chocolate, wine, beer, sauerkraut, sausages, Schnapps and coffee. Please DON'T COMPARE the portions and prices you get back home with the Swiss quality products! EVERY COUNTRY is unique on its culinary habits and standards and we travel to get to know about them, that's the reason of travel to different countries and experience different things. The Swiss quality products we offered are all organic and from local producers. You had a culinary private tour with our local guide and culinary expert. You have got exactly as we described it on the tour main information. It seems that you didn't even read what is included in the tour. I suggest give some time to read what every tour you have booked includes, so you will not be expecting services or products are not included. We wish you happy travels!:)

Great afternoon of food, drinks, some learning.

Akshay_T, Apr 2023

We had a great time eating, drinking, and learning with our guide, Luís. Each stop highlighted a regional specialty and Luís was very knowledgeable about the food and Lucerne as a city. A few of the restaurants were absolutely charming in their own right. We ended with our stomachs full and hearts happy. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2023
