About this experience
Drive through the lush green rolling hills of the Emme Valley with typical Bernese farmhouses in abundance. Stop at probably the most famous “swiss cheese with holes” place in Switzerland. See the production and sample some of the delicious cheese itself. Drive to the Lueg Memorial and walk up to the viewing place and monument offering spectacular views of the Alps from a far. The journey then takes us onto the Nations Capital city Bern. First for a panaromic view over the city, visit the Rosengarden, a beautiful park with over 250 varieties of roses on offer in summer. Park at the famous Bear enclosure and see the symbol of the city who have been here since the 15th century. Visit the 15th century built gothic style Cathedral, the tallest church at 100m and stroll past a house where Einstein lived in the early 1900s. You will then be infront of the Zytglogge (Clock Tower) ideally on the hour. If you want to cool off, why not join the locals and swim or float in the River Aare.

Very interesting and fun day trip to Bern
Very hard to say because the entire day was great. Our guide was very agreeable and helpful in making the trip perfect for us.

Chris, the perfect guide you are looking for :)
Wow, what a wonderful time we had with Chris! He is an amazing guide with a great sense of humor who takes care of even the smallest thing in your trip. We went on a 2 days tour of Emmental, Bern, Bernese Oberland with him, he has an immense knowledge of the area, its culture, history and took us to some scenic Swiss spots which we would not be able to reach otherwise. We are back to Singapore, and our 6-year daughter still remembers and misses Chris. We would definitely recommend him as a guide (who will become your friend), if you are looking for a memorable private tour of Switzerland. Cheers Chris!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucerne.
How much does Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern cost?
+
Prices start at $271 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 Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucerne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern?
+
Around 1 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bern and Emmental in a Day from Luzern 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, Mount Pilatus Summit from Lucerne With Lake Cruise. 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.
