Your experience

This day-long excursion through the charming old town of Lucerne has visual appeal written all over it. Tour over the Albispass, along Lake Lucerne and the Lake of the Four Cantons as you make your way to the town of Lucern. A small guided tour of the significant city sights will be next: follow your tour guide around the Lion Monument, the Kapellbrücke, the Town Hall, the Jesuit Church, the concert and congress centers, and more.

If you've chosen it as an option, you can go on an hour-long boat cruise on the luxury panorama yacht "Saphir." As you cruise upon the peaceful waters of Lake Lucerne, an audio guide will narrate interesting information about the history of the lake, the surrounding town, and the enveloping mountains. You'll have some leisure time to stroll through the lovely Old Town, visit its many museums, or engage in a little souvenir shopping- the choice is yours!
