It was a no show.
We signed up the morning of our tour. Got the confirmation ticket, etc. Used their directions to the mtg point. Was 15 minutes early and waited 15 minutes after. No one showed up. We left a chat message and called the tour operator, got no response. After we figured out no one was coming, we went to Lucerne’s tourist office to make sure we didn’t make a mistake on the meet up location. We did not. Now we will pursue a refund from Viator.

Brief history of Lucerne Old Town
It was a pleasure to have Luis as my guide, he was cheerful and told me some history and interesting facts. As only one hour you don't get to see everything and a lot of information was about where to eat and what restaurants sell good local fare. This was probably useful but not what I expected from tour. Overall an interesting hour's tour.

Lucerne - A BEAUTIFUL CITY
I selected a Viator walking tour of Lucerne as I found that this is a great way to learn about a city I visit. My guide was Luis. He was excellent. His knowledge of Lucerne was second to none. It turned out to be a private tour as I was the only person on that tour. I recommend this tour. The boat ride was 1 hour around the lake and the views were spectacular. Thank you

Walking tour of Lucerne with guide and boat cruise.
Luis, our guide was lovely! It was a very personalized tour in that he kept the guest numbers low. There was only us 2, and one other family of 4. Luis was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this beautiful city. He answered all our questions with ease. We highly recommend this tour!
