Good option
The visit was very interesting with the guide Luis. He provided a lot of historical information. But perhaps it could have been complemented with a little more time in the old town. Although it is fair to highlight that the surrounding neighborhoods were visited. Very good job by Luis.

Wonderful walking tour of the city with Sofia and a relaxing boat ride
A great way to experience and learn about Lucerne in 2 hours. Our guide Sofia is quite pleasant, entertaining and very knowledgeable. She provided meticulous historical details about the city’s iconic landmarks like the Chapel Bridge and provided insights on the original purpose of its construction. We walked through the winding streets of Lucerne stopping by all the historical landmarks like the Lion monument walking all the way up to the Time Tower that has an ancient clock and has a great view of the city from that location. We took the boat ride after the walking tour to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Lucerne. We’re lucky to have Sofia, such a wonderful guide and also the weather was perfect! We had a great time
