Itinerary
Meet your guide at the train station. Board the Intercity train to Luzern, where you arrive after 45 minutes of travel time.
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.

We spent a wonderful day enjoying the city of Lucerne with Martin. His travels and adventures were as interesting as the Tuen itself! We had an easy train ride from Zurich followed by an easy paced and informative walking tour. We took some time for lunch and shopping, followed by a cruise around the lake. I highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you for the review and happy you had a great tour with Martin. Shared the information with our tourguide. Kind regards
Uli was awesome! We enjoyed his friendly nature and his stories. His descriptions of the places we saw and the history behind them was very interesting!
Michael Garrood was a phenomenal guide. My father and I were the only ones on this particular tour, so it was what we wanted to do and when. When we wanted to stop and rest, we did. He gave us history information on Lucerne and on the way from Zurich. We really appreciate his guidance!
Thank you for your feedback!
