A highlight of our three week trip - Our guide, Rose, made the trip to the top of Mt Pilatus easy and seamless. Our bus trip to the gondola was quick, and the gondola ride, itself, was gorgeous. Although it was cold, we were blessed with sunshine, and the views from the top of the mountain were magnificent. Rose provided us with interesting details about the mountain, yet she gave us adequate time to climb the stairs to to peak, grab a bite to eat, and purchase a few souvenirs before it was time to return to the bottom. Our boat ride on Lake Lucerne was hampered by foggy conditions, yet the boat was warm, clean and comfortable, and Rose provided us with interesting details about the lake.

Amazing experience - This tour of mount pilatus and lake Lucerne was really a fantastic experience. The tour is very interesting because it let us discover two different sides of the city of Lucerne both the worthwhile to be discovered. On top of that the organization was top-notch and our guide was very knowledgeable and open to answer our (many!) questions. Definitely recommended if you stop by Lucerne or you plan a trip here.

Rose did a very good job... - Rose did a very good job on the tour but we got off to a rough start. The ticket I received was not clear on where to meet her. It had the address of the train station but did not say where in the train station to meet her. It might also have helped if she had a sign that told us she was a tour guide. So we lost some time trying to figure out where she was. The description of the tour said it included a ride on the cogwheel train, but it was closed for the winter. There were a number of people on the tour who were very disappointed by that. We also were very rushed to get lunch on Mt Pilatus. It would have been better if more time was allowed for that.

Not what we expected - Firstly, Jonas was great! The rest of the review is not about him. The weather was perfect for the whole day - on the top and in Luserne. Why was it necessary to change the meeting time from 1015 to 0845, please? We spent about an hour on the top. Instead of two hours. The itinerary stated two hours with lunch. Lunch was out of question - too early. Ok. No train ride to the lake shore. Winter, cold, trains do not operate. Fine, but I would not even thinking about booking that trip otherwise. That should be explicitly stated in the trip description. If anybody reads that review - take the bus #1, get to the funicular, pay 72 SF round trip and choose if you wish the one hour lake cruise for about 30 SF. That is per person. We paid 250 USD per person. Your choice. The added value is great! 😀

Disappointed - We can not tell you about our experience because the tour company cancelled “due to weather” on the most beautiful day of the week. Plus they are saying they will not refund us the money we paid.

Left us Scrambling. Unprofessional. Not Recommended. - Tours of Switzerland was unprofessional, canceled without notice, ignored our time, and left us scrambling. Their communication process was nonexistent.
