Taste your way through Lucerne's landmarks

This small-group tour of Lucerne combines sightseeing of Chapel Bridge, the Water Tower and Lucerne Castle with Swiss chocolate and cheese tastings. You walk inside the Chapel Bridge, learn about the Water Tower in the middle of the river, ride an elevator to the castle for alpine views, and sample five types of Swiss chocolate and three alpine cheeses paired with a glass of Swiss wine. A live guide in English or Spanish leads the two-hour route; an optional one-hour lake cruise extends the day.

The Experience

The tour starts at Chapel Bridge, where you walk inside the covered wooden structure and learn its history before moving toward the Water Tower in the middle of Lucerne River. From there the route heads to a traditional cellar where you taste three different types of Swiss Alpine cheese, each paired with a glass of Swiss wine. The chocolate tasting follows—five varieties per person, sourced from Swiss makers. Between tastings the guide points out the old town's layout and the river's role in the city's past.

Lucerne Castle sits at the end of the route. A three-minute elevator ride takes you up to the terrace, where the alpine views open across the surrounding peaks and valleys. Castle entry and the elevator are included. From there you can either return to the meeting point or add the optional one-hour sightseeing cruise around Lake Lucerne, which the guide can arrange on the day.

The group stays small, and the guide speaks either English or Spanish. Infants and small children can come in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome. If you have food allergies, let the operator know when you book so they can adjust the tastings.
