Excellent tour. Be prepare to walk. We did the walk on the back wall and it was pretty good. You must be fit since there is lots of stairs.

This was a wonderful day with plenty of time to explore Lucerne . The town is picture postcard material with lovely restaurants medieval history and the beautiful lake _br/_ I would not recommend this tour on a Sunday as the shops are closed and there is 6 hours to fill in without shopping but apart from that highly recommend this tour

Great day trip out of Zurich. Plenty of time for looking around, sightseeing, taking in the sights and shopping too. Enjoyed the visit to Lucerne and look forward to a return visit. The meeting spot for the return journey is convenient and easy to find near the train station. I recommend the day trip for those looking for opportunities to explore Switzerland.

Took this tour in December. Our guide Jorge gave commentary along the way in Spanish and English. Good story and he pointed out interesting spots as well as history. The first stop at the Lion Monument was very brief, but adequate. We were then dropped off at their offices in old town, which turns out are a series of watch and souvenir shops owned by a single company. There you can use the bathrooms without paying a fee. Then we were turned loose for 6 hours on our own. This is both good and bad - if you like a lot of time you can take short 1 hour or long 3 hour cruises on the lake and wander around, or you can get bored. We elected to head back to Zurich on own own by train rather than wait for the bus because the latter was our case, even after taking a one hour lake cruise. Check your vouchers because we had prepaid for the lake cruise but were not given the tickets at the starting point in Zurich which we should have, so Jorge needed to call back and then issue us tickets on location. If you go in December as we did and are looking for Christmas markets, don't settle for the little one in the train station. There is a much larger and more traditional market in the Franziskanerplatz just a few blocks away from the station. All in all a pleasant trip, but we found six hours to wander Lucerne on our own was too long.

What an absolute beauty this city is! It is a must see! Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care of the group. We enjoyed having the day to explore and shop on our own as well. This tour is a nice mix of free time and a tour which educates you on the city.

Great day tour to Lucerne, You were left to explore Lucerne on your own and at your own pace, which was nice.

Lucerne was beautiful but there was no tour, they just left us on our own for the day.

The Lucerne City Tour is really good. I guess it depends on numbers, but our tour included two other tours, to Rigi and Mt Pilatus. Our tour guide Denise was knowledgeable and a Lucerne resident, so had special insights to share. Her day was made more difficult trying to manage the various groups and keep people on time.

We were disappointed that at the end of the Lucerne City Tour, we had to wait for an hour before our tour guide would appear again. She did not actually give the reason why she had been late but simply mentioned it was due to the traffic jam. Even if she could not come in time, the same tour bus should have arrived at the targeted place where we were all waiting. Not until the lady tour guide had come to the waiting spot, she started to call and find out where was our tour bus. Unfortunately, there were 2 parties in the same tour bus had to rush back to Zurich for taking a flight.

All this tour offered was a bus ride to Lucerne. There was no guided tour-we were left to fend for ourselves. The city is beautiful and I would recommend visiting by taking a train from Zurich and save yourself some money.

Enjoyed this day trip to Lucerne. It was well run and we had plenty of time to explore the city. Would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Zurich.

We were on a bus that was doing other tours so a bit confusing about who got off where. Our guide took us to see the lion of Lucerne which was beautiful. We then had nearly 6 hours on our own which was great as you could take your time and absorb the atmosphere. Had time to cruise the lake but unfortunately the day we went it was quite cold and overcast but it was still a pretty cruise.

I LOVED this tour for so many reason buts mostly for the long period of time I had in Lucerne to roam around, take pictures, take in the scenery, and NOT worry about rushing back to a bus. Lucerne is a marvelous place to lose yourself in. It's fairly easy to find your way around once you orient yourself to what's on both sides of the river than runs through it and there are endless gems to be found in this wonderful place!

This is basically transportation to Lucerne where you are dropped off. As another reviewee mentioned, the tour guide is eager to get rid of you, providing you with 0 information about Lucerne or where to go. Wouldn't recommend.

The tour was alright. I just joined the lucern tour, So basically we were just dropped of lucern and we were picked up later. That's it.

Trip to Lucerne and walk about were great. Was worthwhile.
Review by: Julia Y, October 2016
i took the Lucerne day tour which gave me about 6 hours free time there to roam around. I roamed around the Old Town area, and found this town, with its cobblestoned streets, heritage buildings and bridges to be delightful and enchanting. There were lots of great cafes too. I highly recommend visiting Lucerne as part of the Swiss experience.
