What are people saying about Lucerne

Jungfraujoch Day Trip from Lucerne with Eiger Express Gondola

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!

Lucerne Walking and Boat Tour

The Lucerne Walking and Boat tour was the perfect introduction to the city. In a relatively short time we got to know the old town and to see the main sights. Our guide Laslo was informative and friendly, with a great sense of humor. He made the tour very enjoyable.

Lake Lucerne 1 Hour Discovery Cruise

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.

Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne

Susan_W, June 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!

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…

Mt Pilatus Self-Guided Round Trip from Lucerne

Amit_M, Aug 2025

Great way to see beautiful nature

Great experience to enjoy the beautiful mountains and the scenery. No guides, but everything was perfectly arranged. There was no hassle in getting access to any listed activities. Definitely be prepared for a whole day of action and requires lot of walking. Highly suggest to plan extra time to explore the various activities in the park at the top. It can get pretty busy in the afternoon and wait for the slide ride was about 1hr, but was a good experience.
