    Great Tour and Professional Photos!

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Ana was amazing and in addition to being a very fun and knowledgeable tour guide of Lucerne, she also did an amazing photo shoot for us with her professional camera. She knew all the best places to pose us for pictures, and the photos were spectacular. I would very highly recommend Ana and this particular experience. And you'll come away with much better photos than you would take yourselves for a very reasonable price!

    Book the tour you will love it.

    What a wonderful tour of Old Town Lucerne. Ana was a wealth of knowledge and took amazing pictures of my wife and I. If Ana had not pointed out points of interest I'm sure we would have missed them. Book the tour you will love it.

    Ana went above and beyond...

    Ana went above and beyond by giving me the tour even though I was the only person. She patiently took as many pictures of me as I wanted and made the whole experience positive.

    Great Tour and Guide

    Ana, our guide, was amazing. The pace of the walk (my wife was in a wheelchair) was perfect. We learned many interesting aspects of the local architecture, Swiss culture and unique sites. She always took the time to take pictures at interesting locations (which turned out great). Would highly recommend this tour.
