Lucerne tour: Kateryna and Viator
Our guided walking tour of Lucerne was delightful with Kateryna. She was knowledgeable and fun, able to take our photos and give us highlights of the entire area. We loved the boat tour also of the lake. We felt informed and would highly recommend her as your guide.

Great Experience in Lucerne
My husband and I had a great experience in learning about the history of Lucerne and the beautiful city and mountains. Our guide Katrina was very pleasant and we learned so much from her about the history of the Jesuit Church, other city landmarks and the beautiful mountains while on Lake Lucerne. Katrina also gave us some suggestions to view other places in the city like the Musegg Wall and the towers that formed part of Lucerne’s history fortifications. This was a great tour and we truly enjoyed the views and history of Lucerne.
