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.

Best Excursion Ever! - Jonas was a wonderful tour guide! He made the trip- that and the unbelievable views from the boat and cog train! We learned so much history about Lucerne and the alps. I would recommend this trip 100%.

Mountain Trip in Lucerne - Fantastic day. Great guide in Michael. Very well organised. No stress. Meet at the main train station, boat around the lake, then to the mountain, train ride to the top. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy so we grabbed a quick lunch and then went to a lower plateau and the clouds disappeared. Cable car to the bottom and a quick bus ride back to the station. Everything on time, nice group. Lovely day

Great tour - Michael was a fantastic guide. He really knows the territory. He was very conscientious to ask us individually if we had questions. The tour was great; we enjoyed it.

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.

Great Experience - A 12-minutes bus ride from Lucerne brings you to the base of Mount Pilatus where you can catch gondolas to the summit. We stopped partway up at Frakmuntegg and had drinks and a bowl of fries at the restaurant while we watched the adventure seekers zip-lining and climbing in the rope park. There are plenty of good hiking trails and fun for the entire family.

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.
