Mt. Pilatus Peak & 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

Mt Pilatus from Lucerne Including Boat Trip, Gondola, Cogwheel

Sara_M, Sept 2026

Such a great experience...

Such a great experience and easy to navigate throughout. The morning boat ride was lovely, and we enjoyed a beer while waiting fir our ride on the cogwheel (we got an advanve reservation, as recommended, so only had about 45 minute wait to ride to the top). We then walked around on top of Mt Pilatus for about an hour before sitting down for a bite and glass of wine on the outdoor restaurant at the top. The ride down on the gondola was also scenic, though we almost got off too early. (Be sure to stay on the ride all the way to the end!) Then following the signs to the bus back to Lucerne was another nice, easy walk. Highly recommend this day for anyone as it can be adapted for all avtivity/mobility levels.

Trip from Lucerne to Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen

Gomatie_S, Sept 2026

Amazing Experience

First of all, I read the reviews before I booked this trip and others mentioned using tour guide Pavel. I requested him and I am so glad I did. He went above and beyond to ensure that this trip was amazing..it was a pricey trip as the minimum was for 3 people, but only two of us went. However, I am 61 and my aunt is 75 and this was well worth what we paid. Pavel took such good care of us, stopping at several scenic spots for us to get some amazing pictures. He even took us up to Murren which was not part of the original itinerary and the restaurant he suggested had a splendid view of the mountains and the food was excellent. I would recommend requesting Pavel if you book this trip. Booking through Viator did not disappoint. Bucket list, checked!

A full day of stunning scenery!

While it’s a long day, it’s worth it! The scenery, the views, and the locations are amazing. It may seem like you’re moving along at a quick pace, but then you get to relax at the Top of Europe. Olga and Ping were very friendly and professional and did a great job of explaining the itinerary while offering fun tips.

A Definite Tour to Take!

This is a must-see tour. Our guide was so well-versed on the history (dates, persons involved, etc.). It’s a lot of walking with some inclines and a lot of stairs, so be prepared. We got tips for places to eat. Learned so much more about the Reformation, why the Vatican used Swiss guards, and how the country listens to its citizens).

A Super Fun and Peaceful Trip

My husband and I have traveled every possible method of transportation while visiting Lucerne and this has been our favorite way to travel by far. The coach is small, quiet, Clean and air conditioned which is great in a heat wave which we have been experiencing. That said, the tour was stunning and our guide was very helpful. Would highly recommend.

The views are...

The views are breath-taking. It’s like being transported to a fairytale. The whole tour is worth the price. The tour guides were the best! Shout out to Matt, Nilsen and Jimmy. Wear sensible shoes. There is a lot of walking and climbing. Bring a sandwich that you can snack on during the first stop.
