“Maria was amazing! She had great insights about the city, was able to respond to all of my random questions, and was so kind to when our young daughter got a bit fussy. We could have easily enjoyed spending the whole day with her, but she was very efficient in making sure we saw the major highlights in an hour. She was really generous with her time, staying late to show us a few extra things, and to help us make our way back to the train station.

“He was knowledgeable guide. However his social skills were lacking. He asked us the met in the lobby at 7:50 am and we were all waiting for him. He never went around the lobby to see If our group was there. He never called my name. I finally went to the front desk and the receptionist said he was sitting in the corner. After we left the hotel he was walking 30 meters in front of everyone. He could have been explaining to everyone the days activities. He seemed rather unfriendly.

He also gave suggestions of some non tourist places to eat that would be less expensive. Great tour.”

Review of Lucerne’s private walking tour with Chapel Bridge, old town sights, Lake Lucerne, and traditional alpine cheese tasting.
“The tour guide Dave was amazing and his local knowledge exceptional…a really gentleman. The only problem is it was supposed to be a behind the scene cheese tasting tour as well as a tour of Lucerne. When we got to the cheese shop, the owner said he didn’t do the tour anymore. So I bought 2 slices of cheese and that was it!!!” No big deal, but when I called for a partial refund, never got an answer. Very disappointing. The town tour itself was well done.”
