★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 120 reviews · from $108Best value

Lucerne old-town walking tour plus a 1-hour Lake Lucerne boat cruise, with optional Swiss cheese and wine tasting for small groups.

“The guide, Irina, did a great job showing us the old city and explaining the history. The boat ride was nice, but would have been good to have some commentary so we knew what we were seeing. I’d recommend this if you want the highlights of the city, but it doesn’t cover the Lion so see that on your own.”
