Fun way to see Lucerne & get the Swiss chocolate experience! - We had a fabulous time with our guide, Luis! We were the only people to sign up for the chocolate-making/factory portion of the tour and I would say that was one of my favorite parts! We had so much fun learning about chocolate and chatting with Luis along the way. He taught us so much about chocolate, Swiss history, and Swiss culture along the way. And he of course continued to do so throughout the walking portion of our tour as well! We were worried with the rain happening intermittently throughout the day that it would detract from the experience, but Luis did a great job guiding us through the more "wet" portions of the tour without losing an ounce of the experience. Highly recommend!

Beautiful day in Luzern - Got a private tourguide who took the two of us to a chocolate Factory established since 1946 for a private tour, chocolate tasting and made our very own chocolate bars. We had a lot of fun! Then we went on a small group of 5 walking tour of Luzern. Our guide, Luis Medina, really shined during the walking tour. He had tremendous experience and knowledge in the area. As he explains, he showed us pictures as well. He was almost nonstop telling us fascinating stories of Luzern and the country. We can tell Luis is very passionate about his job and we were very impressed with him and wished the tour would continue even though we walked for 2 or was it 3 hours. I highly recommend the tour and if you can get Luis as a guide, you will be very happy!

Perfect day tour of Lucerne! - Luis was a great tour guide who is very knowledgable about the history of the region. He is great with communication, friendly, and has a sense of humor. It was a semi private tour. Started early morning with just me and my Mom met outside the Lucerne train station and took the train with him to a small village where the Aeschbach chocolate factory was. We made a custom chocolate bar with toppings. We entered a room that reminded me of Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. We had a variety of chocolate tastings and saw the production line through a window. Then we went to the gift shop. Second thing on the agenda was the walking tour. We picked up 3 people waiting back at Lucerne train station. We learned about the history of Lucerne, walked up a hill then back down, took a trolly lift up to the castle hotel and took pictures of the view of Lucerne from atop the hill. The last thing was a boat ride on Lake Lucerne just me and Mom without the tour guide. Views were amazing!

You'll love it!! - Thank you Luis!!! Great communications for time and place. This a great way to see and hear some of the history of Lucern. An amazing city with an amazing talented guide. Not the ' follow the person with the stick' tour. Personal, great pace, see the city from the a side you wouldn't know as a tourist. I will not see American chocolate the same again! I recommend this experience!!! Tourist me saw the price, after tour me: worth every penny!!

Amazing - The tour with Luis was more then well worth it, he made our experience more then we could of imagined with all the details and effort he puts in, from the time he meets you, gives you the best site seeing spots with the history behind it and goes out of his way to take pictures and videos for us! As we said our goodbyes with him dropping us off at the boat tour, he texted us afterwards with taking a video of us returning on the boat. I can’t thank him enough for all the effort and kindness he gave us and made it so much fun! Memories we will take with us and never forget. Highly recommend this tour and make sure you get Luis!

Chocolate love - Luis was amazing. We navigated with ease to and from our destinations. We have 2 kids and all the stress was taken out of the trip, therefore making it a far more enjoyable day for our whole family.
