Best $6 I spent!

Rachel_B, May 2025

This was the best $6 I spent on this trip. Luzern is a beautiful city, and this guide made such a HUGE difference in my appreciation of it. I would have missed so much just wandering around on my own. I wish that this company had a guide for every city. The directions were also great and had pictures so that I didn't get lost. It ends at the amazing lion monument (epic). Right next to that is the Glacier Garden, which isn't cheap but was really great, so I'd recommend laying yourself an hour and a half to do that when you are done.

Great walking tour around Luzern

Andrew_Y, Jan 2025

A great guided walk around Luzern. Very interesting and shows you places you may miss if you didn’t know where to look. The walk takes as long as you want it to, which I like and you can stop off for a coffee anytime, something you can’t on an organised group guided tour. Well worth the money and would thoroughly recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2025
