This was an interesting, comfortable, well-planned, and well-executed excursion from Zurich. Our guide was helpful and interesting, and he really kept us on schedule.

Incredible day trip from Zurich to Lucerne and up to Mt. Pilatus. Konrad was our tour guide and we could not have been more lucky to have him. He spoke five different languages, injected a ton of knowledge and humor, and was very attentive ..to the group to ensure everyone had a pleasant experience. The views are wonderful and despite the rain we had a fantastic time!Read full review
The experience itself was great. On the Trip Advisor "what is included" list it stated that there would be a 20 CHF credit for each person for lunch. This was not true. Secondly, we were specifically told not to eat in Lucerne and wait unti..l on the mountain. The food in Lucerne would have been better. All in all, the experience was great and well organized. I recommend it to all, but be aware regarding the lack of credit and food guidance.Read full review
We had a great time! I’d agree with other reviews that I wish we had more time in Lucerne to explore and shop/eat lunch but overall it was amazing and I would absolutely recommend.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Great experiences to board via cable car and descend by steepest cogwheel train. Mount Pilatus was beautiful and the views were amazing. Different experiences compared with Snow Mountains. Enjoy..ed Boat Ride on Lake Lucerne to admire fascinating scenery. However, we did not have adequate time to explore Lucerne. Anyway, wonderful trip.Read full review
It is a self guided tour. The buses will pick you up from Zurich and leave you at the bottom of Mount Rigi. You are given tickets for the tram and the train which takes you up to mount Rigi. You are free to explore the breathtaking views an..d enjoy the lunch with plenty of time to explore the mountain.You really do not need a tour guide for this tour. You then return via train to the bottom of mountain where you take a ferry to Lake Lucern. Again, you have plenty of time to explore Lucern where you are picked up at a designated spot. It would have been nicer to have a guided tour of Lucern but the map provided by the company was more than adequate for that purpose.Overall, I would recommend this tour as it provides a seamless experience without the hassles of traveling to and from the Rigi mountain and takes care of tickets for all the necessary rides. You are mostly free to enjoy the beauty of Switzerland.Read full review
Pick up and drop off was smooth, and the driver was wonderful. The whole crew was in high spirits the entire time. The tour IS only partially guided but it’s much better that way. Once you get to your final destination on rigi do NOT be a..fraid to explore- you have so much time. The views were incredible. The water ride was fun and smooth. Make sure you are prompt for the boat ride, they board incredibly fast! I would definitely do this again.Read full review
