Wonderful small group food tour
Louis our guide was excellent. It was only us and another couple so it was fun & interactive. The Swiss wine & cheese was very good as were the sausages & sauerkraut The pizza was unexpectedly good very thin crust. Our last stop was amazing chocolate tasting with an expert

Ask for Laszlo!
This was a fantastic introduction to Lucerne's Old Town, it's food and culture. Our guide Laszlo was absolutely lovely and I would suggest requesting him if at all possible. I had the BEST BEER OF MY LIFE on the tour, and we went back to some of the places the next day just because we enjoyed the food so much.
Response from the operator: Dear James. We are very glad to read that you like the Culinary tour in Lucerne! We will pass on the message to Laszlo. Thanks a lot for your visit and we wish you happy travels! :)

Best of Food Tours
Luis was amazing guide. He’s very knowledgeable about wine, cheese and other tasty treats. This was best of this type of tour. The stops were planned; everything was organized and ready. We enjoyed the progression. Everything was delicious but not too much. Each stop was delicious. Luis knows Lucern!!

Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucerne.
How much does Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $247 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 Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 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 Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience?
+
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 Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience?
+
Around 8 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience 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.
What is included in Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience?
+
Included: Swiss Schnapps; One glass local bier with pretzel and sausage; Coffee, tea or any non alcoholic drink; Chocolate tasting; and Swiss natural products gift. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Personal expenses; and Food and drinks (unless specified). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience?
+
Go under the Big Arch Monument called "Torbogen" and i will be waiting for you with my black backpack. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lucerne Zvieri Swiss Traditional Tasting Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
