What are people saying about Lucerne

Lilian_S, Aug 2026

To breathe or not to breathe

Overall we loved the experience. The one negative was the heat… something out of the control of our tour guide. The trains, gondolas and common spaces do not have adequate cooling and air circulation to be deemed safe. Altitude also plays a part. My wife was only one of many who blacked out from heat exhaustion mixed with the thinner air. Would we go again? Absolutely, as soon as AC and fans are installed.

Lake Lucerne 1 Hour Discovery Cruise

Concetta_M, Aug 2026

Beautiful one hour Tour

Easy boarding,, beautiful boat to cruise on. Choice of indoor or outdoor seats, friendly staff, and beautiful scenery. One hour boat tour. Not a lot of information given during the cruise, but that’s OK, time to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend. We got there about 20 minutes early and were first in line to board.

Breathtaking Views

Make sure to wear walking shoes! Bring a light jacket as the top of the mountain can be chilly in the breeze. The boat cruise was lovely and had great views of the mountains and the houses on the lake. The views from the mountain of the lake and other Swiss alps were beautiful! Salma was a great guide and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable!

We were disappointed that we were notified of our private tour cancellation 30 minutes prior to its scheduled start time. However, we were able to join the small group tour 15 minutes later. Lucerne is stunning! We visited many sites including 2 churches that were incredible. Our tour guide recommended other activities too. I highly recommend this tour.

Mount Rigi Day Trip from Lucerne

Charles_I, Jun 2026

A lovely day on Mount Rigi

Our tour guide Robert was great, guiding us through a lovely ferry ride to a charming cog wheel train ride to the top of the mountain where we experienced amazing views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding countryside. Robert offered several options for activities, lunch and the return down. We chose to hike down, not a difficult hike. Pro tip, choose the path to Hotel Edelweiss Rigi and have lunch there, you’ll be glad you did. After lunch, we continued the hike to Kaltbad where we caught the cable car to Weggis, followed by a short ferry ride back to Lucerne. A lovely day!

Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne

Susan_W, Jun 2026

We considered doing this...

We considered doing this on our own, but we’re so glad we chose to take this tour instead. It would have been impossible to cover as much ground as efficiently as we did with Kid, our tour guide. He was such a character, took great care of us all day, and had incredible energy. Kid guided us to the best photo spots along the route and knew exactly how to maximize our time between trains and cable cars. He made sure we captured great photos and videos at all the key points, often stepping in to take photos of us. It was refreshing to relax and let someone else handle the logistics. Kid kept everything running smoothly, guiding us seamlessly from one stop to the next. Once we reached Jungfraujoch, he gave clear direction on how to make the most of our time there. Thanks to the efficient transitions, we were able to see everything, enjoy a relaxing lunch, and still stay on schedule for the return journey. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an incredible experience without the stress of planning or worrying about missing connections. It was a fantastic day!

Mt Pilatus from Lucerne Including Boat Trip, Gondola, Cogwheel

Karen_J, Jun 2026

What a Day!

We did this tour on our own with no problems. We had to book our own train to get there and back. Getting off the train to begin catch Bus 1 going to Kierns across the street from Lucerne Railroad Station. When off that bus you see signs directing you to Pilatus Gondolas, a nice 1/4 mile walk. It’s worth what you will see. Everything else you will do is just a few steps away. Had a wonderful time.

MarieClaude_D, May 2026

Relaxation at it s best with breathtaking views

The spa was super clean, very relaxing, can certainly spend 5 hours of Pure peace! My husband had a massage that he really appreciated! We would recommend! Our only recommendation would be to give a little more info on how to get at the location. The meeting point was not a meeting point is was just to get to the spa…very simple when you know that…this part was a bit confusing for us…
