If we go back to Switzerland we want to stay in Lucerne. Amazing town, beautiful lake, great shops. I think this tour was probably an hour or 2 too long. We ended up sitting around waiting for the bus because the bus moves on to other places after it drops you off. The tour guide takes you to go see the Lion statue then you're on your own with the other tourists for an hour. After that hour the people who purchased the other tours move on and you stay in the city. Buy your chocolates, food, water etc. at COOP grocery store. I bought chocolate at this one tourist shop and paid 26 francs when I could have bought it for 18 at COOP. They have the same stuff all the tourist shops have but for less. Same in Zurich, go to COOP to buy all your items. Lucerne is a beautiful city with all the shops and cafes on the river. Totally worth the money.

Being off the main roads and going through the countryside is an added bonus. The day in Lucerne was wonderful and the commentary was exceptional from our tour guide. The day was perfect and we leisurely saw the old town of Lucerne. If you come to Switzerland, this is one place that should be on your itinerary.

I was disappointed that we did not get a small tour of Lucerne. I read the offer as having a tour of the highlights of Lucerne and then the rest of the time on your own. Our guide was eager to get rid of us and not much insight as to what was there of interest.

I had a lovely day visiting this picturesque town. It was also well worth a trip to the Transport Museum and the Imax theatre.

Not really a tour, they pick you up at Zurich and drop you to Lucerne and give you a map. I think the Lucerne tourist information does a better job for free then the tour and then you are on your own. Once we found this out we upgraded to Mt. Pilatus and it was worth it.

It would be better to go by train and spend more time in the beautiful city.

The weather was bad. I think that Viator should have mentioned that the day we booked the tour for was a national holiday - almost all of the stores were closed.
