Cross the covered wooden footbridge spanning the river Reuss diagonally in the city of Lucerne in central Switzerland. Named after the nearby St. Peter's Chapel. One of the most known sight in Switzerland.
Visit the first bridge that was constructed in the 13th century to connect the Mühlenplatz on the right bank of the Reuss river with the mills in the middle of the river
With 1500 m2, the Mühlenplatz is the largest historic square in the city of Lucerne. The individual terraced houses are almost all typical urban wooden buildings, as have also been found in other Lucerne excavations.
In the heart of Lucerne's old town, in a beautiful location on Rathausquai directly on the Reuss, is the listed town hall. It is one of the most beautiful Renaissance houses in Switzerland and has a high status.
Inside and out, the historical hotel reveals itself in all its splendour. The famous facade murals are among the most photographed motifs in Lucerne. Viewed from the Reuss, the hotel calls to mind a Venetian palace. Today, the Hotel des Balances offers a balance of historical fabric and contemporary design
The Schweizerhofquai and Schwanenplatz is the quay section between the Schwanenplatz and the Kurplatz in the city of Lucerne. It lies on the right bank of Lake Lucerne. It's one of the most visited places in Luzern.
The Church of St. Leodegar is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Lucerne, Switzerland. It was built in parts from 1633 to 1639 on the foundation of the Roman basilica which had burnt in 1633.
The Lion Monument is a rock relief. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution,
The KKL Luzern is a venue for concerts, congresses, meetings, conferences, panel discussions and events in the middle of the city. An architecturally exciting building and the place where you board the lake boat.
Spend one hour on the Lake Lucerne. A scenic roundtrip in the bay of Lucerne will take place.
Perfect experience, saw a lot of the Lucerne and learned a lot about its rich history, pretty much every step of the way. For our family (w/ two youngish kids) it was the right amount of duration, walking, information, without it ever feeling or becoming exhausting. Highly recommend.
All walking but our guide Ueli was wonderful and made this start to our trip very memorable. He gives you a great start to what and where to go.
Relaxed and informative tour of the old town, nice lunch buffet at the Globus department store. Abraham even stayed with us for the full trip around the lake. He is an informed and experienced native of the region.
great experience by walking through old town. Tourguide was really nice and we got a lot lovely stories from actual time. boat ride for one hour was stunning with views to the city and the mountains. loved it.
took another tour with the same company and it was really great to have a local with us. good mix between history and actual issues in this touristic city. to get an overview of Lucern, can recommend this company
The walking tour was informative and relaxed, with just the right amount of history and fun facts. Our guide Rudy is from Lucerne, was super friendly and made everyone feel welcome. The lake cruise at the end was a beautiful, peaceful finish, even we were on the shuttle boat as the panoramic boat does not yet operate.
Had a great day with our tour guide, however it was a little hard to find them as the instructions are clear enough where to meet and the guide was wearing nothing to indicate they were the guide, we had to take a guess and approach random people! Knowledgable day and great boat tour
Our guide was not local, but arrived by train from Zurich. We walked around the city with one other couple. Our guide knew when the churches were built/burned down/rebuilt, but not much else. We learned about the Lion of Lucerne, grabbed a sandwich. Because we waited in the shade for the boat trip, we missed the chance for seats with a good view. A total waste of $200!
Martin was our guide and was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was great getting a view of the city from a local perspective. He was able to explain what we saw and give us the history and cultural background. Really enjoyed our time with him.
Our tour guide was so great. He did a great job. Our only criticism is not about him, but the "cruise on Lake Lucerne" is not what I would consider a cruise of the lake at all. It was a ferry ride to drop other patrons off at another stop and then came back. That is not a "touristy cruise" - it was just tagging along on a passenger drop off.
Tour director needs a microphone and audio should be provided- difficult to hear. We skipped the walking tour and only did the boat cruise at the end which we would not recommend- not enough outdoor platforms. Abraham was knowledge . Also website said 2 hr tour but told more like 4hrs.
Wonderful experience! The chocolate tour was fantastic! I highly recommend this tour for the entire family. Our guide was amazing.
Funny tour with an entertaining tour guide. Absolutely suitable for first-time visitors. Was exactly as described and the boat tour allows for nice perspectives.
Travelled with friends and booked this tour to be with them in the same group. Lucky us, we have been just four of us on this tour - very comfy. Nice walk-around in the city with time to step into shops - not this typical tour where you rush around. Tourguide took us to a lake boat shuttle which was a nice finish for this tour.
We visited Lucerne again and it was a perfect tour about the time & distance. We got the overview about the historic city and we're happy that it was a small group tour without using headphones and just walk in a line. We were just 6 on this tour and it was easy to have a personal exchange with the funny tourguide.
An exclusive guide, attentive, kind and with great knowledge of the place. All with a personal touch. I take you to know the points of interest of the city as well as a walk through the lake and its wonderful landscapes.
