“The boat ride and seeing the sights were good. Unfortunately we had a poor guide that didn't provide added stories or history. We could have done the walking tour with an app, booked the boat ride and had a better experience. Time needs to be less about 5 hours. Our group agreed to ask the guide to cut it short and let us get on with our vacation. Waste of our time. Another guide was with us from Basel to Lucern taking the Mountain group and he talked the whole way and would have been awesome. We lost on this one.”
