4.Lucerne CH Experience: Cheese, Chocolate, Chapel Bridge & Château

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 155 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $198

This small-group Lucerne walk combines five Swiss chocolate samples, three Alpine cheeses with Swiss wine, Chapel Bridge, the Water Tower, and a castle visit with a three-minute elevator ride. Guides such as Luis, Sarah, Laszlo, and Pablo lead the tour in English. An optional one-hour Lake Lucerne cruise can follow.

“Luis was a fantastic guide, and his enthusiasm and love for the city of Luzern was evident in his talk and tour of the city. After just arriving to the city, his tour was so informative and gave us a true overview of the city we were there to enjoy. The stops included in the tour were spectacular, and the views he showed to us were breathtaking. The four of us were so happy we took this tour with Luis after just arriving in Luzern, to experience the Chocolate, Cheese and wine, Chateau and Chapel Bridge.”
