I have a degree in Tourism & Business Management from Lucerne University, and my career has included, among others, Food and Beverages Hotel Manager; Travel Photographer and Mountain Guide in the Swiss alps. As a Travel Photographer and nature lover my work has been published in some of the most renowned travel magazines, travel guides and tourism boards around Switzerland. I am a full time Tour guide, to me it is the best job on Earth and I do it with respect, pleasure and put a lot of passion in it. I am fluent in three languages (English, Spanish and German). My 10 year career in "Hotelerie" provided me the opportunity to travel extensively through the World. I love meeting new people, learning about new cultures, traditions and I am very excited about every new experience in life. So, tell me, where would you like to begin your Swiss adventure? perhaps off the beaten track? or tasting some of the best Swiss Wine by the lake in a traditional winery? maybe taking the castle and village tour around Lake Lucerne in a private and comfortable car? or taking a lovely stroll around Lucerne, the most beautiful Swiss city!

Very pleasant day visiting many of the important sites from viewpoint, no interior building visitation. One hour boat trip on lake very relaxing. His English was excellent and had a nice time exploring Lucerne.

Sarah was amazing! She knew all the good restaurants, gave us a great history lesson, answered all of our questions and made our tour with her a great experience! As business owners we were very interested in her background in business and she and my husband exchanged many details about the economy in Switzerland. She lived in USA for a year - so many fun stories! We actually booked with Luis Medina - and Sarah showed up. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Wonderful tour with Luis. So personable and knowledgeable regarding any facts of Lucerne. His IPad had many photos of older areas that were helpful. Would definitely refer Luis to any future people looking for an interesting guide.

We were delighted with the tour given by Elena. (Luis wasn’t our guide). She was fun to be with , very charming and interesting. Her love for Lucerne was infectious. Lucky us.

Luis is knowledgeable, thorough and flexible. He met us exactly on time in the designated place, was completely willing to adjust our sightseeing to work around places we had already visited or were less interested in. Though he did not accompany us on the cruise portion of the tour, he had prearranged the tickets and no explanation was really required while sailing. We initially thought the price rather high, but after looking at other options in Lucerne realized that it was quite fair.

Luis was a wonderful guide. Before our arrival he adjusted the time for the tour, he told us which train to take from Basel and he then greeted us with a huge smile and lots of information. The pace of the tour was great for us "almost" senior citizens, the behind-the-scenes information was fun to hear and he took the best photos! Lucerne would not have been the same without Luis.
