    It's absolutely worth. We had the best times in our life. Didn't even want to leave on last day. So enjoyed with the hotels and the bus. The guide is also kind and professional.

    Value for money

    goEUgo is definitely the best budget tour operator in Europe. I travelled with my wife on both blue and green lines over 12 days in April 2026. Our experience was beyond our expectation- -Good hotel accommodation, trip covers major attractions in every city visited, Comfortable bus ride (brand new buses), excellent tour guides (Mirjam and Daniel).

    Glad we did

    Fantastic value for price on tour and many major sites to see all coming to life with stories and interesting facts. No need to worry about organisation, just sit back and relax.

    A tightly packed trip

    What I liked: -You get to see a lot of places in 7 days. - The program is well coordinated. - the tour guides know the places well. What I didn’t like: - The group consisted of 90% people from a certain country. The tour guide primarily spoke that language and filled in with English when necessary. - tips are not really tips. They call it service charge and it is €10/day per customer. The main issue is you have to pay in cash so have sufficient Euro at hand. It is not always easy to find an ATM in Europe. - extra activities such as gondola ride and lunch, if opted for, goes the same way. Payment is in Euro and cash. I wasn’t prepared for that. Most ATMs have daily limit so bring along sufficient Euro. - be prepared for long walks in sun and rain and whole day bus ride. This is not a relaxing vacation by any means! - in Switzerland, most restrooms are not free. Some have credit card option but many need €1 coin only. - most of the places don’t allow you sufficient time to go in, for example, Milan or Florence cathedrals. You have to see from outside only.

    7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucerne.

    How much does 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,055 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucerne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France take?

    +

    Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucerne is not rushed.

    Is 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Lucerne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucerne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucerne and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 7-Day Taste of Europe Tour from Lucerne: Switzerland, Italy and France start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucerne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucerne?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucerne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne, Lucerne Walking & Boat Tour: The Best Swiss Experience, Lucerne's Hidden Secrets by Electric Cargo Bike (small groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucerne?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucerne?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
