Overview of your Lucerne tour

Lucerne is a picture perfect town set against the backdrop of the majestic Alps and the glacial waters of Lake Lucerne! And that is just the beginning. These cobbled streets have centuries of stories to tell from the Chapel Bridge's burning to the Carnival celebrations. I invite to join me on a handcrafted tour that explores the history and legends of Lucerne. We’ll visit the market squares with guildhalls and inns over 500 years old. You'll find that sometimes the stories are told by the buildings themselves. Lucerners started painting murals centuries ago and those pictures are still worth 1,000 words today. We’ll be sure to make our way over to the Lion Monument and before we are finished you’ll find out about that castle on the hill.
