Absolutely gorgeous views.
Great trip. Beautiful scenery. Tour guide was very informative. We did a lot of hiking at the end and there was quite a bit of a decline for most of it which was hard on the feet. It was optional and our entire small group decided to try it out. It might be a bit challenging for some of the more mature crowd. A little slower walking pace for the last half an hour might have been nice.

We had an informative and comprehensive tour with Luis. He was great! We felt we were among friends instead of strangers. The time went by quickly. The boat trip is not narrated so if you have any questions about the lake portion make sure to ask your guide in advance.

This was an amazing experience. We were fortunate to have a clear, sunny day. Our guide Nikky, was great. Nikky was a wealth of local knowledge, making recommendations for other sites to see and restaurants to eat at. She made sure the group stayed together, pointing out the best spots to get pictures. Made all guests feel comfortable and welcome. Great tour.

Gorgeous Mt. Rigi
My wife and I were in Lake Lucerne in early April this year. I purchased the experience without understanding how transportation to the mountain really works. Luckily our hotel concierge mapped out three different options for us. The package included the cogwheel train up to the top of the mountain, but be aware the price of transportation to the cogwheel train is not included. We decided to take the beautiful boat ride. Depending on your fitness level, I highly recommend getting off before the top and hiking as there are some magnificent views along the way with spots to take pictures/videos. Once we reached the top and enjoy the views for a bit, we walked back down, partway to where the Kaltbad spa is located. What a wonderful, relaxing and unique atmosphere. I highly recommend this excursion.

Exceptional
Really a fantastic highlight of our Switzerland trip! Everything was perfect. Got a little altitude sickness but our guide told me to get chocolate and a coke and once outside I’d be fine. He was right. Our guide was so wonderful took amazing pictures. We had perfect weather to see everything. One thing , it is a long day and no eating on the bus and very little time to grab food. So prepare ahead for that. But I highly recommend this.

Great walking tour of Lucerne
Our walking tour of Lucerne was fabulous! Ana was an outstanding guide. We really got an appreciation of the history, cultural significance and beauty of Lucerne. The length was perfect with additional suggestions for other activities during our stay. Highly recommend this experience!

Great experience.
Great experience. Beautiful afternoon on the mountain. It does not disappoint.
Our guide was excellent. She was so very informative and made the trip that much more enjoyable with her knowledge. Dont be intimidated by the expansion bridge. The view on the other side is worth it.

Fantastic experience!
This tour was excellent! I typically HATE tour groups, but this was definitely an exception. Sarah gave us a great tour. It was very personable and really just felt like an old friend was showing us around her home town. She told some great stories about the town and some of the locations. The chocolate tasting and cheese tasting were delicious. The walk to the chateau was a nice way to walk through some of the old town. If you also add the boat cruise, the guide will wish you well and send you onto the boat so you can take the departure time that works best for you. She also recommended several other sites to visit in Lucerne and the surrounding area. As we were looking through our pictures later that evening, my daughter was disappointed that we didn't take any pictures with our guide, Sarah, because she was one of the highlights of the whole experience. This was a great addition to our stay in Lucerne.

Once in a lifetime adventure.
The adventure is wonderful.... It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to paraglide off the Alps in Switzerland.... It is a very personal boutique business... so be patient with them getting back to you. They showed up as planned at the pick up spot and was able to bring us to a destination that worked beautifully. Highly recumbent this.

Mt Pilatus Self Guided Tour
It's a good idea to reserve seats on the cog wheel train or you could be waiting at the station for some time.
Be aware when you get off the Gondala at Kriens that the #1 Bus Stop is not outside the station. It is a 10 minute walk following small blue signs pointing the direction. Beware the bus may be quite full. We had to stand for the trip back to Luzern HBf.

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.

Our tour guide Theo was...
Our tour guide Theo was super fun and friendly. Theo was familiar with the area and knew every single turn of the street. He was knowledge of the history and shared bunch of interesting stories along the tour. This is the chance to explore outside of the city and also to experience the beauty of the surrounding and the lake. Theo did a great job covering all of them. If you have little to bring along or have someone who is not in paddling, this tour definitely solves the issue. I would imagine small kids who follow along would also have lots of fun.

Modernity meets history in Lucerne, Switzerland, a city with a stunning lakeside perch. The city’s centerpiece, the 14th-century Chapel Bridge, is considered Europe’s oldest covered bridge. Lucerne tours let you venture beyond the bridge and help you explore on foot or by boat. Cheese and chocolate tastings are also in the mix. Plus, Lucerne’s mountainside location is convenient for day trips to the Alps.
