Hello there… So many guides… why choose Ezra? The answer is simple: I don’t just know Switzerland—I grew up here. Born and raised in the Lucerne region, I’ve spent my entire life exploring Switzerland, its landscapes, traditions, and culture. I enjoy sharing not only the history, but also what everyday Swiss life is really like. Authenticity is one of the things I value most when guiding. I also have a strong connection to the United States. My mother grew up in New York, and after many trips across America, I feel very comfortable with American guests and understand their culture and expectations. Having travelled extensively throughout Asia, I’ve also gained a good understanding of many Asian cultures, which helps me connect with guests from across the region. For more than 10 years, I’ve been guiding visitors from around the world to some of Switzerland’s most beautiful places—and I genuinely love what I do. My tours combine Swiss history, culture, geography, local stories, and humour because I believe people remember a tour best when they are learning, laughing, and enjoying themselves at the same time. Every tour is tailored to my guests’ interests, pace, and expectations. Alongside the famous highlights, I enjoy sharing hidden gems, scenic viewpoints, and places that many visitors would never discover on their own. I’m an outgoing, open-minded person who loves meeting people from different cultures. Many guests appreciate my relaxed and friendly style—I provide plenty of information while also giving you time to simply enjoy the scenery. Outside of guiding, I work in art, photography, filmmaking, and acting. If you’d like great photos of your trip or enjoy conversations about creativity, I’m always happy to share my experience. Every tour can be customized to suit your interests. If you have any questions or would like to create something unique, I’d be delighted to help. I would love to show you Switzerland through the eyes of a native Swiss and make your visit a truly memorable experience. If you’re looking for a guide who combines local knowledge, humour, flexibility, creativity, and genuine Swiss authenticity—you’ve found him. I look forward to meeting you. Cheers, Ezra 🙂 • 10+ years of experience guiding international guests. • Certified SVEB trainer and group leader. • I am not a driver, but I’m happy to accompany you in your vehicle or arrange a separate car and professional driver if required. • Switzerland’s public transportation is among the best in the world—safe, clean, reliable, and punctual

Overview of your Lucerne tour

Join me on this unforgettable tour starting in Lucerne. We begin with a scenic catamaran cruise across Lake Lucerne to beautiful Bürgenstock. From there, we ride the historic funicular to the famous Bürgenstock Resort, where breathtaking views over the lakes, Swiss Plateau and Mount Rigi await. Next, we walk along spectacular cliffs to the Hammetschwand Lift, Europe’s highest outdoor elevator from the 19th century. At the summit, you’ll have time to enjoy the panorama, take photos, or relax with a drink or meal before returning to the resort. We then take the PostBus to the charming lakeside village of Stansstad, where you can even go for a swim. Our return walk leads through picturesque villages and along the lake. On the way, you also have the chance to explore hidden military bunkers carved into the mountains. Finally, we enjoy a relaxing catamaran cruise back to Lucerne during the magical golden hour. Tickets for vehicles can easily be purchased with assistance from guide on the way.
