A diverse tour of an amazing city, Alex was a competent guide to educate us about Switzerland history along with what distinguishes Lucerne. It was diverse in that the tour mixed time spent in the old & new parts of town, and even a lovely boat ride on Lake Lucerne. Alex concluded the tour by giving us restaurant recommendations, we followed one and loved it!
