This team is run by Marcel, and Marcel is truly the best. He's so kind, and unlike other places I've tried, he's incredibly skilled—it felt like he was playing with the wind, which was amazing. If you pay extra, they'll take photos and videos with a GoPro. The quality varied among instructors, but Marcel took great shots, so I'm very satisfied. It's not right next to Lucerne, but rather in the Kantonsstrasse area, and you can even see Mount Titlis in the distance, so I highly recommend it. Definitely go with Marcel!

In this tour you will be able to go to Grindelwald, Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen in one day. we had a great day and enjoyed it. Highlight of the tour was Grindelwald First and Staubach falls in Lauterbrunnen. The view was so stunning. Highly recommended.

It's very convenient. After purchasing on Klook, you just use the QR code to board the boat and the crew will scan your ticket. You wait for the boat at Pier 3 in Lucerne, and the lake cruise lasts 60 minutes, returning to the same pier where you boarded. Along the way, you can see Lake Lucerne and the surrounding scenery, and if the weather is good, you'll even see snow-capped mountains.

Tour was organized, we have a good experience in Luzern exploring the city, the food and culture. Was really fun!! Tiltis on the other hand was good coming from the country who doesn’t have snow.. There was a severe snow back during our tour that left rhe organizer no choice but to cancel other activities. But overall. It was all good!

The price is very okay because it includes the 360-degree rotating cable car to the top of the mountain. The magnificent scenery is very worth seeing. A truly wonderful experience.

The Swiss Museum of Transport is honestly one of the most impressive museums I’ve visited. The place is massive and incredibly comprehensive from vintage cable cars and historic trains to boats, classic cars, and even space rockets, the collection is absolutely fascinating. What makes the experience even better is how interactive everything is. There are hands-on exhibits throughout the museum, which keeps the visit engaging and fun instead of feeling like you’re just walking past displays. The entire museum is also very well organized, with explanations available in multiple languages. I ended up spending almost four and a half hours here without even realizing how quickly time passed. That alone says a lot about how immersive the experience is. The only downside is that both the entrance ticket and the cafeteria food are a little pricey, but overall it’s absolutely worth visiting if you’re in Switzerland.

Although it was a packed itinerary, the stunning scenery made it completely worthwhile. Our tour guide, Lars, was exceptional; he maintained excellent time management and provided practical tips that allowed us to experience the very best of Grindelwald and Mount First. The landscapes were breathtaking. Additionally, our driver, Victoria, navigated the roads with great skill. The coach was incredibly comfortable, allowing us to sit back and truly enjoy the beautiful views along the way."
