Daniel met us at the pier and guided us through a wonderful day. Our group was 6. Every aspect of the tour was interesting and we had great weather. Views from the lake ferry were beautiful. The cog railway ride was fun. Views from the top of Mount Rigi were fantastic! The gondola ride back down was packed full of people. Never experienced anything quite like that before! The day was something we will always remember!

Mt. Pilatus Peak and Lake Lucerne Cruise Small Group from Lucerne

roland_g, Sept 2026

Dreamy!

This tour takes advantage of public transportation BUT with a guide to remove any guesswork. The beauty of the Lake Lucerne cruise which was amazing was surpassed by the views from high atop Mt. Pilates. Our guide, Jovana, could not have been better in keeping us informed of all the folklore surrounding these mountains and villages. Our best tour of the three week European journey

Lucerne Walking Tour: Explore Top Sights & Hidden Gems

Jim_L, Sept 2026

Perfect Length Tour

Luna was informative and considerate of our abilities. There is a good amount of walking on cobblestones and going up steps and I'd recommend good shoes. We had climbed the city wall on our own and it was very steep coming down. Luna's way was easier but still had great views. Luna shared great Information about the city's history and the places we'd visit.

Siraze_A, Sept 2026

We had an amazing...

We had an amazing experience on the Jungfraujoch guided tour from Lucerne! The whole day was very well organised, and our guide 'kid' was the best! He was funny friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He also took some great photos! The journey through the beautiful Swiss countryside and up to the Top of Europe was absolutely breathtaking. The views of the snow-covered Alps were incredible and truly unforgettable. ❄️🏔️ Everything was smooth and stress-free, and having a guide made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely one of the highlights of our Switzerland trip! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lucerne and wanting to experience Jungfraujoch.

Mt Pilatus from Lucerne Including Boat Trip, Gondola, Cogwheel

Brenda_G, Sept 2026

Beautiful Views

This was an amazing trip! You do it on your own and at your own pace. Start with a city bus, then a tram, a gondola, a cogwheel train, and a boat trip back to Lucerne. Our group really enjoyed it! Pilatus was beautiful! Tip: go early before the clouds move in and obscure the view. My only complaint was the directions. They needed more precise details on where to get off the bus (the actual stop) and details about the reservation site for the cogwheel train.

Lucerne Walking & Boat Tour: The Best Swiss Experience

Patti_R, Aug 2026

Luis and Lucerne

Luis was our excellent guide for a 2 hour walking tour of Lucerne. Well worth the money to have a local’s perspective and history of the city. We would not have enjoyed the views of the city from the old walls and towers without Luis. Would highly recommend! The one hour boat ride came after the walking tour without Luis.

Supportive team you definitely can be trusted.

Well organised and supportive team. I lost my cellphone and when I found it again my bus has off to the next travel destination. But the staff from the office called me and arranged us to catch up another bus to the next meeting point to continue our trip without any problems. We are so grateful everyone who shares their hands with us.
