Walking Tour of Lucerne

Shannon_H, Jul 2025

Great overview of the city of Lucerne. We enjoyed walking around and learning about the history. There is parking at the train station which is where the tour starts.

Rushed but enjoyed

Rob_F, Jul 2024

Loved the stories about the development of the town. The fountains, bridges and buildings explained in this way helps to understand the past and the present. I was rushed which is not good for me but all the same i enjoyed the walk.

Great economical way to have a tour on your timeline

Cathy_M, Aug 2023

Walking around and listening to the stories behind what we’re seeing was so much better than just walking around and looking. It made walking around Lucerne much more enjoyable.
