Food tour-Lucerne
"Sandiana was fantastic! Although it was rainy and extremely crowded due to the festival we had a great experience. The food stops were delicious and we also learned a lot about Lucerne. I highly recommend! "

"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!"
"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."

Spectacular Guide
"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. "
