What are people saying about Lucerne

Mt Pilatus from Lucerne Including Boat Trip, Gondola, Cogwheel

Jude_t, July 2026

This was a brilliant...

This was a brilliant experience. Thanks to the reviews I selected to do the boat trip first. I knew the trip was unaccompanied and I planned the boat trip timings and booked the cogwheel seat. The route isn’t complicated and if the instructions had version A and version B it would be even more straight forward. My son chose to do the toboggan ride at the dragon ride section around 14:00 and this had a 60-75 minutes wait. I was told at the cafe it was better to do this 10-12 am so maybe the trip with the boat trip at the end might be best if you plan to do activities.

kathleen_L, July 2026

Very nice tour. A highlight of our trip.

Great locations on this tour. We are glad we used a tour because it may have been tricky to navigate on our own. The only thing we didn’t like is that we couldn’t hear the tour guide well. We were near the back of bus and road noise was too loud to hear everything she said. She was a very good guide and very friendly. I think the stay at the top was a wee bit too long.

RichardM_C, June 2026

We were disappointed that...

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, June 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!

Self-guided: Mount Rigi, Lake Lucerne Cruise and Mountain Spa

Julie_J, June 2026

Unlike anything I have done before!

Travel was multi step but straight forward. Boat to train, train to peak, train to spa, spend hours at spa, gondola to weggis and then boat back. Just watch the time! Bring a towel and swimsuit. We went with our 17 year old son and 20 year old daughter. Everyone loved it. Breathtakingly beautiful. Clean! So indulgent! I will never forget it!

Lake Lucerne 1 Hour Discovery Cruise

Brian_R, June 2026

Lake Lucerne

This was kind of a last minute decision for us and we are very happy we did it. The scenery of Lake Lucerne was phenomenal. We were able to secure a spot on the top deck which allowed us to really take in all the scenery around Lake Lucerne. This was an appropriate amount of time for this experience and we are so happy we did it.

Michael_W, June 2026

The earlier the better.

An amazing way to explore not just the Mountain but transportation options around the city as well. Medium paced experience never feeling rushed or hurried. I wish we would have done it sooner in our visit. I do wish they would have pointed out we needed our visitor card to return by bus on the last leg. One call to the hotel fixed that easily though. The experience varies greatly by quick changes in weather.

Mount Rigi Day Pass + Mountain Spa Day Admission

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…

Lucerne CH Experience: Cheese, Chocolate, Chapel Bridge & Château

Rakhi_S, Dec 2025

This was a great tour...

This was a great tour with the perfect blend of history, culture, and of course cheese and chocolate. Our guide Sarah was wonderful! She shared her love of her city and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. It was so nice to spend the afternoon learning about Lucerne and tasting chocolate/cheese with her!
