A really interesting tour with Julia. She was a great guide -knew her history, answered lots of questions, and told lots of interesting, little-known stories. We passed several large tour groups on our way and were very grateful there were only six people on our tour. Highly recommend!
Fabulous tour and our guide Julia was amazing! To visit Lucerne and not take this tour would be a mistake. We learned so much and had a blast at the same time!Must

Great experience! Rose was our guide and we were lucky to have just the 2 of us on the tour so she was great at adjusting to sights we hadn't seen yet. She was also wonderful at knowing where good camera shots and providing recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend her. Also, the app double booked us and although they refunded my money before we knew that was going to happen Rose was very sweet and said if they didn't she would refund her share at least.

Rose was knowledgeable about Swiss history and had a pleasant presentation. We covered a large area without feeling rushed or hurried. We moved along at a nice pace yet it accommodated our group of septuagenarian travelers. She was also able to answer questions and show us the absolute best place to buy Swiss chocolate. It exceeded our expectations
