Sandiana is an enthusiastic, funny, knowledgeable guide – she was the best tour guide we had in our 3 weeks of travelling throughout Europe! This tour was a combination tour of old town plus a food tour. For the food tour, she brought samples of local treats and beverages and explained the story behind each treat. The tour also features a stop at a local lunch spot to sample other local foods. As it turns out, we had eaten dinner the previous night at the restaurant she chose, but Sandiana was a wealth of knowledge of other sites and shops that we should try while in Lucerne – all of her suggestions were outstanding. Fun, customized insider tour!!!!

We toured Lucerne with Sandiana yesterday and it couldn’t have been any better. Sandy gave us a wealth of information and her personality is so warm and friendly we felt like she was an old friend after just a few minutes. We learned so much about the city and the culture. We all LOVED every minute. You must tour with Sandiana!

Sandhiana is fun tourist guide to be with. She is very friendly and highly knowledgeable about Lucerne. She is very accommodating to your exploring needs towards the city, taking into consideration of your style of exploring. I highly recommended to have Sandhiana as your tour guide. She is definitely the best tour guide you will have in Lucerne. Very bubbly person and young solo travelers will be so lucky to have her as their guide 🙂🇨🇭 She will cover everything about Lucerne from train station to old town-new town-and a lovely lake Lucerne boat tour 🔥🔥Amazing Lucerne tour with Sandhiana

Our Viking Host, Sandiana, was exceptional. She was so friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. I especially appreciated her help with the hotel when there was a problem with our room. The hotel was in a great location, so close to the train, bus, and piers! We also loved the breakfast and service we received with coffee, etc.Sandiana Made Our Trip Memorable!
