Wonderful! - Fantastic! The tour guide recommended spots on the map to visit in Lucerne. He dropped us off at the bottom of the mountain with times to meet up and we got to explore in our own. We made lunch reservations in advance at the restaurant. Some people without reservations were turned away. Make sure the tour guide gives you a copy of the reserve time for the cog train before he drops you off. Ensure you age. What’sApp installed as well so you can communicate with the tour guide. The group of 4 that got paired up with us were older travelers and did not get the reserve time paper they needed for the cog train. They called Viator from the top of the mountain and was able to get it sent immediately so all worked out. It was stressful situation for them.

Glad we this this excursion - Zoli our guide was great relaxed and informative. Most of the trip is guided by ourselves Lucerne is beautiful. Mt Pitalus is stunning. Lake Lucerne boat ride amazing. I know small group is a little more expensive but definitely worth the stress free once in a lifetime experience

Day at Mt Pilatus - Well coordinated and very comfortable transportation. We visited Lucerne for two hours then Mt Pilatus for the remainder of the day. Tickets were provided for gondola lift, train and boat. Destination is a must see.
