Lucerne is not what I expected

Lucerne was beautiful but the time was a waste the tour guide leave is to wander alone all day it was raining the marathon no bathrooms everything was close so I feel we can do more if I knew it will be just the ride and then we were alone for 6 hours is not worth it. The train ride will be much better .

A full day in Lucerne

This was an all day tour. Lucerne is gorgous. Our guide Roberto, was very personable, knowledgeable, kind, and spoke in a pleasant voice. The majority of the group was Spanish, and so when he would speak English, the others would talk very loud, and were disrespectful to us trying to hear the English. Also the people in front of me on the bus, were calling their families, speaking loudly while the guide was speaking. We are all paying good money for this tour, and we deserve to have complete quiet while the paid guide is speaking. In the future it would be wise, to ask the clients to shut off their phones while the guide is speaking, and not to have unnecessary chit-chat. Also, it would be wise to say where exactly the bus and driver will be, as that area is very big with a lot of buses, and can be intimating on your own.

We had a great time in...

We had a great time in Lucerne by exploring the city and the food. We saw the chapel bridge, the lion monument and took a boat cruise on Lake Lucerne. This was a wonderful trip with options to go to Mount Titlis but we opted out of that and decided just to stay in the city and explore. Our guide were wonderful and make sure that they gave us good instructions regarding time.
