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.

No issues here so have no concerns that you might be left stranded or that your guide doesn't speak your language or that the tour is somehow altered or changed. However at the price my partner and I were surprised at lack of basic historical facts so check the resume of guide if you are a stickler for detailed knowledge of experiences in this tour.

I spent a wonderful November day with Eve doing the William Tell hike. As a relative newcomer to Switzerland, Eve's knowledge and enthusiasm for her adopted country was infectious. In addition to the spectacular scenery and delicious local picnic lunch, she was a wealth of knowledge about the country and outdoor activities. The schedule was easy and we weren't rushed. We had lots of sunshine and finishing the boat trip at sunset and in the dark was very pretty. What a wonderful and memorable day in the beautiful outdoors.

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.

Ralf conducts the tour in medieval dress and recounts life as it was in medieval times. He has lots of interesting stories and projects images on walls to elaborate his stories.

This was absolutely delightful. We couldn't have had a better time,due to our incredible guide,Ulrich. He was very knowledgeable and respectful of our intentions. He made the long ride entertaining as well as educational. We would definitely use his service again. Our only issue was trying to reach your office by phone a couple of days before our trip to confirm and not being able to reach anyone. This created undo stress and it totally unacceptable and needs to be addressed. Thank you for our great guide. Maurice & Teena Nanoia
