Perfect relaxed tour - Wonderful experience! The panoramic train ride was incredibly scenic and comfortable — the large windows offered breathtaking views of lakes and mountains. I really appreciated that there wasn’t too much walking involved, making it an easy and relaxing day. Visiting both Lucerne and Thun in one trip was perfect — two charming Swiss cities with plenty of beauty and culture to enjoy. A great way to see more of Switzerland in a single day!

A beautiful day with Juliana - Everything from meeting our hostess to returning to Basel was wonderful.
Our hostess was the best! She provided knowledgeable narration throughout the trip, not too much to be overwhelming and not too little to feel neglected
I have been on many Viator experiences throughout the world. Juliana made a great destination a wonderful experience

Day trip from Basel - A perfect day trip from Basel! The panoramic train offered stunning views of the Swiss Alps—definitely the highlight. Lucerne was charming with its lakeside views and historic old town, and Thun was a hidden gem with fewer crowds and beautiful castle views. It’s a packed day, but well worth it if you're short on time and want to see a variety of landscapes and towns. Bring a camera and comfortable shoes!

Panoramic train and scenic towns - What an unforgettable day trip! The panoramic train ride from Basel was stunning—breathtaking views of the Swiss countryside that made the journey feel like part of the adventure. Lucerne was beautiful, with its picturesque lake and historic old town. Thun was equally charming, with a lovely mix of natural beauty and rich history. The whole trip was perfectly organized, and we had just the right amount of time to explore both cities. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the best of Switzerland in a day!
