Beautiful - I understand why this is called the queen of mountains, it was absolutely beautiful! I like how the tour included a cable car ride, train ride and boat ride. Got to see the beautiful scenery from so many different levels and angles!

Great spa experience and Lake Lucerne views - Fantastic experience using the Mineralbad Spa (although shame about the rain clouding our view) and all the transport went smoothly, even using our Viator issued e-ticket. Highly recommend going back via the Weggis cable car (the views were amazing once the sun came out) and checking the latest timetable for each transport link.

A Breathtaking Day at Mount Rigi, Switzerland - My friends and I recently spent a fantastic day exploring Mount Rigi, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our time in Switzerland. We began our journey with a scenic boat ride across Lake Lucerne (via the Schiff from Landungsstegg 1), which was a peaceful and picturesque way to start the day. From there, we boarded the cogwheel railway — a charming and historic ride that steadily climbed its way up the mountain, offering increasingly stunning views with every turn. Once at the top, we set out on a brisk hike, taking in the crisp alpine air and absolutely incredible panoramic views of the surrounding lakes and peaks. The trail was invigorating and rewarding, leading us down to the cable car station for the final leg of our journey. While the descent by cable car was certainly efficient, it was a bit cramped — especially after the open freedom of the trails. Still, it didn’t take away from the overall experience, which was a perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and a satisfying day’s exercise. Mount Rigi definitely lived up to its reputation as the “Queen of the Mountains.”

A great way to see Mt... - A great way to see Mt Rigi without the hassle! This day was full of beauty. The cruise to the base of Mt Rigi is breathtaking. The cable car provides stunning views, as does the top of Mt Rigi. The spa was cool! Also - Viator and the tour operator for this experience were super helpful. I got the day mixed up for our ticket. I was able to get a full refund and book for the correct day. Excellent customer service!

Breathtaking lake and mountain views from every dimension - The cruise was beautiful, the ride up very dramatic and breathtaking can't beat the beauty. The spa incredible. It was great to have the flexibility to spend the maximum time there. Across-the-board a well rounded and memorable trip.

A must do excursion - A must do! Each part is worth it on its own: the boat ride across the lake, the train ascent, exploring the summit, the fabulous spa, and the easy return. We had a glorious clear day with spectacular views. Transfers were easy and logical. Half our group walked from the summit to the spa and half took the train. Both were just what we wanted. We started on the 10:12 boat and arrived back in Lucerne around 18:30: a full day and one of our favorites.

Since there is no... - Since there is no instruction in terms of how to take the boob sled down the hill and where to get off and how to use the trains. I think you are to include that.

Not worth it- dont waste your time.. - Boat wouldn’t allow us to use this ticket argued that we needed a separate ticket to take the boat to Vitznau from Lucern. took the cogwheel train and they also couldn’t scan the ticket, but they were kind enough to let us go anyways. The spa was super busy and over crowded. Nothing is open on Sundays- so very few options for coffee and food! The. we took the cable car down and it was so packed we could t see anything Worst tour ever! I have taken dozens of tours and would t recommend this one. Get your own tickets, and do your own thing!
