Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our small group was thoroughly impressed with Sandiana. She is attentive, careful and energetic. For English speakers, her language abilities are superior. What a fabulous way to learn about Lucerne.And, she remained available as a resource in the days after our tour. Sandi gets our highest recommendation. "
"We had a great tour with John! He gave us great information and history on Lucerne in an engaging and fun way! Thank you John!"
"We loved our tour with Luliia. She is very informative, kind and funny. We enjoyed our time with her very much!"
"She came to our hotel to get us, knew all of the history, helped us get fondue dinner reservations that day and lunch reservations at an impeccable Italian restaurant the next day as well, and didn't charge us time for getting us to a boat trip and continuing on our own to Burgenstock that was the highlight of whole trip."
"Luliia was an amazing guide. She provided the history and details of the town. Extremely flexible and had many good recommendations. I would highly recommend her."
"John has a great passion and knowledge base for history, culture, art and the local food palate. Having Lucerne as his home, as well as living in other locations, he was able to provide the perspectives and dynamics of varying cultures and life. John certainly was able to share his passion for Lucerne and to keep us engaged in a holistic and historical fashion. He is definitely a great guide."
"We contacted Lullia early on and told her the kind of tour we wanted. A mix of history, where to go, mountain hiking, lake cruise, etc. She got back with us quickly and proposed some activities, we responded with what sounded good and left it up to her to organize. We started early in the day so we could fit everything in. When we finally met she was very relaxed but diligent on how we went thru the day. She recommended places to visit mixed in with in depth history about how Luzern came to be and evolved. We had a relaxing hike on top of Rigi, ate lunch on top at a mountain cheese maker, wandered around mountain paths, cruised the lake, strolled thru the city. Never rushed but very pleasent. It was a long day but exactly what we wanted. Probably the best guide we have used in all of Europe. "
"Our group of four booked a three hour walking tour of Lucerne with John. He was very knowledgeable of the history, architecture and culture of the area. As important, we also found John to be personable and engaging, and we enjoyed our conversation with him as we walked through the city. He even treated us to a snack at the farmer's market. The time flew by and was a perfect kick-off to our Swiss vacation. "
"My husband and 4 20 something daughters had a delightful 3 hour tour of Old Town Lucerne with local, John. He was lighthearted, easy to understand (he is originally from Scotland with just a hint of an accent), and had some great fun facts and not-so-fun facts (history is a bit dark at times) about the inception of the city and current events. We would highly recommend this private tour and tour guide:)"
"We had a great 2 hour private tour with John. He shared the history of Lucerne, explained the layout of the city, and introduced us to many of the key landmarks and areas throughout the city. John’s knowledge gave us better perspective on touring and understanding Lucerne and the things we see throughout the old town. He also left us with some great recommendations for places to eat/drink and other sites to see and experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone experiencing Lucerne for the first time. "
