Born in the central part of Germany, I started with my parents hiking all over Europa while other kids laid at the beach. Soon as Teenager I was keen to achieve more and learned climbing and alpinism at the German Alpine Club. More than 15 years ago I decided to move to Switzerland, not for tax reason, but to be closer to the Alpes and thus being more flexible to cope with weather changes and alpine conditions. Now I am 55 years old and have almost 40 years of mountain and travel experience. I have guided many people, locals and tourists, here in Switzerland on snowshoes, ski, grampons and hiking boots. Furthermore, I am also course leader and guide for snowshoeing, alpine routes, trekking and via ferratas for the section Pilatus of the Swiss Alpine Club. Lucerne is my home base and from here I have explored all parts of Switzerland, from Ticino to Valais and Engadina. I know Central Switzerland very well and can show you attractive places in nature or cities. If you prefer we explore places away from the tourists' crowds, but if you are here for the first time you maybe would like to see the standard sights. I am very open to offer you tailor-made excursions, no matter if you are families or couples, colleagues or friends, naturalists, hikers or alpinists, photographers. Let me know your dream how to explore Switzerland and I show you the right place! I am looking forward to make your stay in Switzerland comfortable, joyful and memorable!

Explore scenic Lucerne and its historical city center
Overview of your Lucerne tour
Located in the centre of Switzerland, on the shore of Lake Lucerne and right at the base of Pilatus Lucerne is definately the most scenic city of Switzerland. It gained ist wealth due to the location on the trading route between Italy and Germany and many buildings give you an insight of the precious past of Lucerne. Especially the lake shore, covered wooden bridges and cobbled alleys warrant gorgous shots for fotographers. Visit as well the two main churches of Lucerne, the famous Lion Monument and the town-hall with ist own brewery. Tips for restaurants and shopping will be given.

Andre was very personable and very knowledgeable about the city of Lucerne. We were able to see many of the key sites around the city in 3 hours at a pace that met our needs. Andre provided historical background information in a clear and concise manner. I highly recommend him as a tour guide.
Deborah W.United States
We were a group of four visiting Lucerne for the first time, and thanks to Andre, our experience was truly unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the city and its rich history brought every street and landmark to life. Andre was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs throughout the tour. He answered all of our questions with patience and insight, and we never once felt rushed. By the end of the day, it felt less like a tour and more like spending time with a new friend. Andre is exceptional—we can't recommend him highly enough!

Andre was a wonderful guide for our group of friends today in Lucerne. While the weather was cold and rainy, he kept us entertained and informed at every stop. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Lucerne and how it applied each of the famous landmarks we saw. He kept us all engaged and even went over the time 3 hour tour due to the weather slowing us down. Thank you!
