Be prepared for an excess of religious indoctrination. We couldn’t even look out side the train to see the countryside. Not good.

Outstanding day in Lucerne
We had a great day in Lucerne with Michael. Even clouds and a hint of rain couldn't take away from the beauty of the place. Michael is a wonderful guide. He asked us about things we wanted to see/do and we did them. Don't miss the boat ride around Lake Lucerne.

Our guide Michael was excellent. He was very patient, explained the history of sites we visited well. Also flexible. We decided to do the Lucerne boat ride an hour early and it was no problem. Overall a great tour.

Worth it
We are so glad we did this tour! Abraham was absolutely amazing and such a joy to spend the day with! I'm not sure we can say we had a favorite part, Lucerne as a whole is just beautiful!
