The 10 Best Bus Tours in Lucerne, Canton of Lucerne

November 5, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Lucerne is an ancient town with strikingly modern sensibilities. One of Europe’s oldest covered bridges serves as its centerpiece, and fresco-adorned historic houses line the streets, but it’s also home to the cutting-edge KKL, a concert hall and art gallery. Take the cableways up the Pilatus, Stanserhorn or Rigi mountains for breathtaking views, or see Lake Lucerne on a steamship cruise.

During a short stay in Zurich we took a two hour city tour with headphone commentary (due to the virus there we no tour guides available). For us, at two hours the tour was just about the right length and the commentary was interesting and informative with a narrative that extended to both the city and national relevance. A word about the driver - he was friendly and just about the best bus/ coach driver I have ever experienced. He navigated the often narrow streets and turnings superbly and was courteous to other drivers and pedestrians. Whilst we thought this was quite an expensive tour, (most things in Zurich are quite expensive), we did very much enjoy it and would certainly recommend it.....

I fully believe that my newfound love of Skiing is all thanks to Andrea and his teaching methods. He was patient, empathic, engaging, and thorough with any feedback that I needed and when things were not working out he was able to change tact and figure out a way to make it work for me. I had never been skiing before and Andrea was excellent at settling me into how it worked, from the boots and skis to how to turn and position my body while skiing. Andrea was very knowledgeable and experienced. After our last lesson (2nd lesson ever) I had enough confidence and learned so much from Andrea that I was able to head back up the slopes again after our lesson on my own. This is a testament to his ability as not only a skier but as an instructor. I would encourage anyone thinking of taking up skiing or improving their technique to book a lesson with Andrea.
