- Gaby was excellent and made the day so easy and enjoyable. She was enthusiastic and informative. The trip was a good value and a FULL day. I would highly recommend this. My one quibble is that the website provides an incorrect address for the meeting spot. When we called, they were beyond helpful. However, make sure to get the right address ahead of time and don't trust what is emailed to you. Have fun, we loved it! Go Gaby!

Beautiful landscapes - The assembly point of the walk is very far from the starting point of the walk. This one is varied, well documented and shows superb landscapes

Memorable Experience - Our guide, Gabby, was fantastic. We met her at the specified location and proceeded to have a memorable day despite the weather not being ideal. The top of the mountain was in clouds so we were unable to see the views. We did have clear weather from Weggis part way down the mountain that were spectacular. Gabby was very knowledgeable and full of information. She really made the day fun. Maybe you could organize the trip directly with the different transportation systems but if you're not familiar with the area this is the way to go. Having someone that could share historical and cultural information on generally everything made for a wonderful experience. Thanks Gabby

Beautiful views from Mount Rigi - Our guide Carola was brilliant and had our group enthralled from start to finish. Her communication was excellent and our group was small so our day was a pleasure. Our itinerary was exactly as advertised and Carola took us for a lovely scenic hike as well. An excellent choice.

Great tour, beautiful scenery - The tour was very good, however the tour experienced problems with the train reservations and had to stand for the trip versus having reserved seating. Tour guide didn't provided much addition information other than getting us from point to point. Trip on the cable car going down was very crowded so didn't get to see much. Overall, I would recommend doing the tour but was expecting more customer service by booking with a guide.

Not worth the money. No tour guide needed. - The scenery was amazing but the tour guide didn't do very much. We could have easily planned this trip on our own. There were no assigned seats and standing room only on several legs of the trip. We have been on many Viator tours but was very disappointed in this one and feel we should be refunded.
