What people are saying about Lucerne

It was just our luck that it was raining during the trip, hence, we did not get to see as much as we wanted at Bern (my fault as I forgot my raincoat). However, the visit to Kambly and Emmentaler and the countryside scenery despite the rain made up for that. And Peter was such an amazing guide that he made sure that we get the most out of the tour despite the weather. He was very warm and helpful with all the guests and accommodated special requests as much as he could. He assisted my friends and I in our request to be dropped off at the nearest train station on the way to Zurich and he even found us the train timings to book for a shorter journey to Interlaken. Would recommend this tour especially if it was Peter who will be the guide.

Overall it was a pleasant experience. The food was excellent and the price for the alcohol beverages was reasonable. Great service and great presentation. Will recommend

Both been in Anvers/Belgium and this place. They are both informative and funny. However, this place is perfected by technology: internet of things. Thumbs up!!

Beautiful scenery and delicious food. My family enjoyed this lake tour and it was the perfect duration.

Very nice setup and tour of the chocolate process. Never experienced it before would Do it again.
