David_K, Sept 2026

Well worth the money for...

Well worth the money for the private tour. Matias was excellent, full of knowledge, and flexibility ble with any adjustments. The locations were amazing! The climb to the cave entrance was a lot of steps but I am so happy I made the climb. Well worth it! Recommend the tour and Matias!

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).

Best Tour Guide

We had a great time in Switzerland with our tour guide, Kid! He was humorous, creative with photos, and made sure we were well looked after throughout the trip. He also arranged our own cabin and fast pass, which made everything so much easier and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, especially for anyone who loves taking photos while travelling!

Mt Pilatus from Lucerne Including Boat Trip, Gondola, Cogwheel

esuttonjr2015, Aug 2026

Great way to explore Mount Pilatus from Lake Luzerne and see it all!

Great experience give yourself extra time so you don't feel rushed meeting the schedule to catch the boat back to Luzern after the cog railway. Also a comment should be made from Viator that once you take the local bus to the stop for the gondola at Mt. Pilatus there is bus route 15 you can take to get to the lift. If not it is a long walk up a steep incline to get there. Some will have difficulty doing it and will get upset they weren't told! Other than that I felt we got everything we paid for and remember it is "self-guided"!

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.

Experience God's beauty

This is a MUST DO tour. The scenery was spectacular! If I remember correctly, you can see five different countries from the top of the mountain. Be sure to dress warmly as it can be quite chilly at the top. I would do this again in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

Wonderful day trip to the Swiss Mountains

This was a most wonderful day trip to the mountains from Lucerne. We visited Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald as well as several other interesting stops along the way. Our driver knew the area very well and knew where to stop for the best Vistas. I had initially thought I would take the train to Interlaken but this was so much better as we would not have seen nearly as much. It is truly one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on. Our driver was able to explain so much about the history and geography of the area. He even knew where to take us for chocolate when we needed some.
