Dave’s local knowledge was so helpful and welcomed! He showed us everything and was the perfect balance of explaining the Swiss culture without over explaining it :)
My wife and I were lucky enough to do this amazing e bike tour of Lake Lucerne and surrounding area with Livia. Livia was prompt and professional. She contacted us beforehand, giving us a preview of the day and addressing any concerns. She showed up early and guided us safely through the day. She is a charming person and has a wealth of knowledge about Switzerland and the Lucerne area. We had an absolutely wonderful day and can recommend her without hesitation. She is a credit to Echo tours and another example of the excellent guides they employ.
This bike tour was AMAZING! It was truly the highlight of our visit to Switzerland. Our guides Andrea and Monika were so awesome. They were knowledgeable about the area and its history. They were, also, more than happy to recommend other things to do and places to eat. The kids particularly enjoyed the shops at the farms along the trail. Do not miss the opportunity to truly experience Switzerland and all of its beauty!
This is one of those rare tours you'll never forget - its like "the most-best Swiss thing you can do" tour. Our guides (Glenn and Renee) were fantastic. The use of E-Bikes made the basic riding simple and turned 'killer' hills (not many of those) into a completely manageable ride. We stopped at some historic sites, circled Mt. Rigi and took short breaks whenever wanted (photo spots!). We stopped by a local farm, the Victorinox visitor site, and had a picnic lunch by lake Zugersee before riding to Brennan to catch the boat back to Lucerne. Best Day Ever - you won't regret a minute or a dime spent on this one!
We had an excellent bike ride with Eve! She was super knowledgable about the area, prompt, and flex able ...she showed us what we were interested in and let us skip what wasn't. We came prepared with a light rain/wind jacket and didn't let the light rain bother us. The bikes were wonderful. Perfect for normally active middle 50 year olds who don't bike often. Anyone in good health, who can ride a bike will love it! Great way to see another side of Switzerland outside of the city. The only description I would change would be that you will go to a victorianox store in the town that the factory is in. You can only assembly your own knife if you are one of the 4 people who book early for that time slot. We ended up ordering ours ahead of time, complete with engraving. Really nice knife and probably better we weren't held to an exact time to be there. The boat ride was great. We ate in the cafe on board and the staff was very pleasant . Again Eve joined us while we ate and told us more about that beautiful country.
