Booked this tour on a... - Booked this tour on a Viking cruise extension bc this tour was much cheaper than the Viking tour and visited same sights. We were beyond pleased with our guide (I am embarrassed I didn’t get his name). Guide was so kind, patient and thoughtful taking pictures of our group and ensuring we made it to Mt Rigi summit in time for sunset. Most amazing sunset! He is very knowledgeable and gave so much information to us. Perfect balance of giving us space to see everything while also keeping us informed. He was very safe and conscious of ensuring our whole group stayed together in very busy areas. 100% recommend this amazing tour of the Lucerne region! It was the biggest highlight of our 2 week holiday.

Mt Plitus Lake Lucerne and Mt Rigi - The cartwheel ride was a big plus as it was state of the art! The engineering was amazing. Not to say that the views were spectacular!

Take this trip with Leighton!!!! Incredible guide! - Leighton is an amazing guide! He’s incredibly engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We spent an entire day exploring the mountains and lakes around Lucerne. His timing is impeccable - gondolas, lifts, trains and buses all without a hitch or wait! Incredible! We never felt rushed - what a relaxing day and the hikes were great exercise! Can’t thank Leighton enough for all the pictures and videos! He made us some memories of a lifetime! We also learned so much about the culture, history, food and interesting tips about Switzerland. Can’t recommend Leighton enough!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Highly recommend this tour and Rosa if available - Great tour guide in Rosa. Very knowledgeable about Switzerland and the mountains we toured. Kept us on time without feeling rushed at all. Even gave some recommendations for our next stop in Italy. Highly recommend if short on time to see both Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Rigi. No complaints.

Leighton was the most awesome guide...informed, personable and fun! Could not recommend him more highly. - Could not recommend Leighton more highly! Our tour started in Lucern ending at the top of mountain Pilatus. Took Lake Lucern boat first followed by cog train to top of Mt Pitatus where we had a lovely lunch. Took a gondola back down the mountain. Best ever!

Good experience but can’t recommend - Four of us paid around $350 each to see Mt Pilatus, Mt Rigi, and Lake Lucerne. Due to the weather, Mt Rigi was cancelled and the tour operator emailed us that iwe would each receive a 20% refund because of the cancellation. We have as yet NOT been given any refund. Seeing Mt Pilatus and Lake Lucerne were 5 stars. Our guide was just adequate. For someone with 5 years experience I was shocked by how unprepared she was. She was sweet but gave us bare minimum guidance and information. Because of that and no refund as of now I don’t recommend this tour.

Overpriced and not as advertised - There was no description of taking a public bus twice. The tour guide Nicki was very nice The boat tour was a hotel commuter boat - not for site seeing. The train does not run u til late spring - but that was not disclosed. A very disappointing and o er priced tour. I would not recommend.

Deceptive description - The tour we were taken on did not include Mt. Rigi. The tour guide told us he did not even think it was possible to do all three activities in the same day. The tour was also 17 people, although promised to be 15. And the tour was in English and Spanish. There was a lot of wasted time on an expensive tour for translations.
