Great Trip - We boarded the ferry at Lucerne and travelled a few stops along the lake to Vitznau to take the cog wheel train up to Rigi Kulm. The scenery is spectacular and cannot be matched anywhere in the world. The scenery from the river of little towns surrounded by mountains is beautiful and we sat on one side of the ferry going and on the other coming back to make sure we didn’t miss anything. The cog wheel train plays some alpine music when nearing the summit which is cute. Again the views at the top are stunning. Snow and sunshine, majestic mountains. A trip not to be missed when in Lucerne.

A Beautiful, Memorable Experience - Despite overcast conditions, I had a lovely time hiking down from the top to the spa via a route that I devised from the free map, with great views around every bend, cows and goats ringing their bells all the while. And the spa was a wonderful, refreshing, rejuvenating complement to the hours on the trails. Great day in the Alps.

Amazing views, Relaxation, and fun transportation - Self-guided tour allowed us to go at our own pace, spend time at the top of Mt. Rigi and enjoy the amazing views. Kaltbad spa was the best mineral baths we have ever visited; we spent two hours relaxing in the waters. All of the transportation was on time and the transitions were easy to navigate. We ended the day with a cable car ride down to Weggis and a late lunch at the lake. Will recommend this tour to all our friends.

Fabulous day - This was an outstanding day. Everything was easy to figure out, plenty of time for each portion of the tour and a great mix of activities. The walk to the spa took a full hour but the snow was deep and we took our time. Beautiful scenery!!!

I called Viator at around... - I called Viator at around 10 a.m. to ask for help because I could't find my email to download the ticket inside the boat. They told me they would help me and call me back. And if I had to pay for the boat they would refund me. It's now 22h03 in the evening and all day I never received a call back. What a disgrace!!!
