The evening walking tour provided by Ralf the Nightwatchman is fascinating and a unique way to discover parts of Lucerne that you may not otherwise visit. Ralf conducts the tour in medieval dress and recounts life as it was in medieval times. He has lots of interesting stories and projects images on walls to elaborate his stories. I would highly recommend this unique tour to anyone visiting Lucerne.

We really enjoyed our day. Set out on the boat from Lindau with a few stops before arriving in Switzerland across Lake Bodensee. Our guide was prompt and very friendly, The ride was mainly flat but I would definitely not take kids younger then 10/12 years as it was 42 Km long (8 hours).

I have had a pleasure to have such an experienced and knowledgeable guide Violetta during our visit to Switzerland in April 2021. She has made me feel very warm and comfortable with her presence as well as our tour being very interesting and remarkable. She is a real professional with a lot of knowledge about the place and has a passion to what she is doing. Booking a tour with a guide making it unique and allowing you to save precious time during your tour and visit the main attractions with stories only locals can know and tell you. I would definitely recommend to book a tour with Violetta, because that way you will know and see more than you would on your own.

The tour was really better than I expected, the guide was very knowledgable, social and fun, I enjoyed my time with him. The cable car near Zürich was really interesting and the views from up top were also magnificent, I think it's one of the best tours you can do compared to the price! Completely worth it.

We took the tour on August 25, 2020 and it turned out to be an excellent way of seeing Zurich, particularly the old town, the area around the Grossmünster, etc. The weather was nice, so there was no need for warm clothes. The drive was friendly, spoke good English and made some interesting comments. If you are a first time visitor - I am not but there were two of us - I highly recommend this Tour. One criticism : they charge you an additional CHF 19 for dropping you off less than a mile away from the railway station upon your return and that is probably a bit excessive. i asked and got a drop off at Sihlstrasse but the additional charge was a bit unwarranted.

We were with Losi last evening myself and 2 adult daughters. They were a bit leery of this type of tour but once we saw the beautiful and immaculate tuk tuk and it was such a lovely evening they got excited. Losi allowed us to pick areas of interest for the tour and then we went to pick up the wine and fondu. He set up the absolutely fabulous Swiss fondu and poured our wines and off we went! If you want a unique experience that’s fun with stops of incredible views of the city this is the tour for you!
