Reviews
A semi-self-guided tour that can be arranged freely. The tour guide on the bus to Lucerne will introduce the attractions along the way in Switzerland. Arrive at Lucerne at about noon and start the self-guided tour. Stay in Lucerne for about six hours, of which Bürgenstock takes about an hour to and from the boat, and the bus gets off The meeting point is near the train station and Chapel Bridge, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to Pier 3 for the boat. The boat ticket and the cable car ticket are exchanged with the crew when boarding the boat, saving the time of queuing up to buy tickets. The 30-minute boat ride can fully appreciate the mountains and waters of Lake Lucerne. The time of the boat trip and the cable car are well matched. When the boat arrives on the shore, you can take the cable car to the top of Bürgenstock Mountain to overlook the entire lake area. It is very beautiful when the weather is fine. It takes about an hour and a half to walk back and forth to Hammetschwand Lift. If you go, you may pay attention to the time of the cable car going down the mountain. (The cable car runs every hour.) There are few shelters on the mountain. You may need to pay attention to the sun when you go at noon. The hotel and restaurant on the mountain are not cheap, but they have the best view of the lake area. It is suitable for traveling with elders. The Dying Lion is currently under partial renovation.
This day tour is highly recommended. The scenic spots visited are incredibly beautiful, and the overall cost-effectiveness of the tour is excellent. Another highlight is the convenient meeting point, and the tour guide's thorough explanations saved us a lot of hassle trying to find transportation on our own.
In this itinerary, there is a cruise ship. The cruise ship is very special. The scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful. There is also a cable car up the mountain to play, and the scenery on the mountain is even more beautiful!
This is a good day tour to Lucerne and Bürgenstock from Zurich. it is not entirely a guided tour but you will have enough time to explore the area on your own. the boat ride to Burgenstock is lovely and the view of the mountain is amazing. This tour is overall a good one if you have limited time to see Lucerne in a day.
scenery is beautiful. there are actually two variants of the itinerary together, so we had to clarify with tour guide. generally good cos it’s cheaper than you go on your own
Honestly, if you mean to just visit the town of Lucerne, just take the train from Zurich. It’s cheaper and you aren’t constrained by the time set by the tour. We got on the bus and we were dropped off in Lucerne to be on our own from 11 am to 5 pm. The only pro about this tour is that you can opt for the boat and funicular inclusive option, which I think saves time and money compared to buying the tickets in person. Otherwise, just go take the train.
unable to see much of Burkenstock resort due to foggy weather. this includes the hammetschwand lift which you have to pay extra
Terrible! They made the tour group wait for the bus in the freezing cold for half an hour, but sent a message claiming there was traffic. In reality, they had already picked up another group, and as a result, our group that was waiting barely had any seats left on the bus.
Great tour with clear instructions . Friendly guide ! Will recommend to go for it
