    Martin is a gem!!

    We spent a wonderful day enjoying the city of Lucerne with Martin. His travels and adventures were as interesting as the Tuen itself! We had an easy train ride from Zurich followed by an easy paced and informative walking tour. We took some time for lunch and shopping, followed by a cruise around the lake. I highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed.
