The Experience

The eTukTuk picks you up and heads into Lucerne's Old Town, where the driver points out the architecture and history as you move through the narrow streets. The Chapel Bridge comes into view—the covered wooden bridge that has stood since 1365—and the route takes you past the Hofkirche, a Renaissance church set on the waterfront. The Lion Monument, carved into a cliff face to commemorate Swiss soldiers, is the final stop. The whole loop runs about an hour, but the route is not fixed: tell the driver what draws you and the tour adapts.

Because it's a personal tour with a guide rather than a group departure, the pace is yours. The eTukTuk holds up to four people, so it works for a couple, a small family or friends traveling together. The driver speaks English or German, offers live commentary as you move, and can answer questions about what you're passing. Children from age 6 can join. Public transport stops are nearby if you need an alternative way back.

Top questions

What is the Lion Monument and why is it in Lucerne?

The Lion Monument is a large stone lion carved into a cliff face in the southern part of the city, created in 1821 to honor Swiss soldiers who died defending the French royal family during the French Revolution. It's one of Lucerne's most recognizable landmarks and a quiet spot away from the busier Old Town streets.

Can I customize which stops we visit on this eTukTuk tour?

Yes—the tour covers the Old Town, Chapel Bridge, Hofkirche and Lion Monument, but the driver adjusts the route and timing based on what interests you. If you want to spend more time at one stop or skip another, you can tell the driver and the tour adapts.

Is the Chapel Bridge included in this tour?

The Chapel Bridge is part of the route. The eTukTuk passes it and the driver provides commentary, though the tour itself is a ride through the city rather than a walking tour, so you see it from the vehicle.

How many people can fit in the eTukTuk?

The eTukTuk seats up to four passengers, making it suitable for couples, small families or groups of friends. Children from age 6 are welcome on board.

What language does the guide speak?
