Great views and fun time - After meeting Livia in front of the train station, we quickly got our bikes and helmets and rode out of the town and into the country. She set a nice pace and pointed out interesting things along the way. Livia was lovely and told us all about Switzerland and it's history, as well as laughed and shared stories about herself. We shared a delicious lunch at a local restaurant about 2/3 of the way through the tour and then rode fast to catch the boat to take us on a 2 hour ride back to Lucerne. Everything about the tour was terrific. If you want to work hard, turn off the electricity. If you want to go easy, put it in auto mode. The air was so crisp, the country so pretty, and the company so pleasant that we would recommend this tour to everyone as a great way to see the area and understand the history and culture. And make sure to ring the bell at William Tell's chapel. Thanks Livia!

The perfect way to explore Lucerne and neighboring towns. - 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 :)

Wonderful e bike tour and boat ride on Lake Lucerne with Livia - 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.

So worth it! - 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!

Best Day EVER! - 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... - <p>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.</p>
