You'll be part of a SMALL GROUP, ensuring a personalized and intimate atmosphere throughout the tour.

Along the way, you'll gain insider knowledge of the city's history, culture, and traditions, making it perfect for both families and solo travelers looking for a meaningful connection with this charming Swiss city.

Please note: While the Musegg Walls cannot be climbed by those relying on a wheelchair or pushing a stroller, these participants can still fully enjoy the rest of the tour.

PLEASE also NOTE: Starting November 1st, the Musegg Walls won't be accessible so we will make sure to get a nice view of Lucerne from a different spot.
