Couldn’t be any prettier! - We did a private walking tour around the lake and were able to see how much beauty there is without a lot of people around. Would recommend it highly! Ezra was an amazing guide and went above and beyond for us and answered all of our questions.

I absolutely loved this tour. Our... - <p>I absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide was terrific. We learned so much about the villas and history of Lucerne. I highly recommend this tour to others. This was a lot of walking but totally worth it. The pictures you are able to get are breathtaking. As a tourist you would not know about this path you take but as a local you do. Being able to take in the views and experience the town as a local was amazing.</p>

Castles and Villas tour - Not worth the cost. It was a walk. Castle was closed. Couldn’t see many villas because they are behind the fences with thick vegetation. The walk was nice though.
