Reviews
Amazing experience, beautiful scenery, helpful guides, the weather was perfect for scenic picture moments, the cable car ride with the amazing views of Lucerne and the lake was breath taking. I highly recommend 👌
Mt Pilatus was closed so we went to Mt Titlis instead -- even better! ❤️ Enjoyed the cable cars up the mountain. I highly recommend the ice flyer, amazing view of the alps. Aside from Mt Titlis, we also spent 1hr in the old town of Lucerne :) Tour guide was so friendly! I also liked that they gave water & snacks in the bus. fun and unforgettable experience!
The mountain view is very nice and I would come back again. The cable car to the top take about 50 mins.
Recommended! Beautiful view at Lucerne, and amazing one at Mt Pilatus. Cable car ride was included, and it’s a nice experience. Unfortunately the weather was foggy, couldn’t see the whole mountain, but at the top it’s like above the cloud experience.
friendly and amazing guide! beautiful views at pilatus and Lucern.
All good memories here in Lazern. Thanks Stephan helping me take a lot beautiful pictures, l posted them immediately on my moments and got many likes. Also thanks Alex, to guide me to enjoy the places most efficient.
Smooth booking and comfortable bus with charging. However, we were transported together with the bus tour to Titlis, meaning we reached back at Zurich at 5.30pm instead of 4pm. Fortunately our flight is late and not affected by this, but would be good if the tour agency can inform prior. We also had a tad too much time at Pilatus. 2 hr stop at Lucerne. Pilatus is glorious but may be subject to cloudy weather. Thankfully cleared up while we were there while it was snowing. However we can still enjoy the view on the cable car and midway point. Last descent is 3pm.
enough free time in mount pilatus, able to visit all the spots there. great experience. recommend it!
From the very beginning of the trip, from the meeting point at Limmatstrasse 4 until our return to the same location, we were served with friendliness and information. Even when there was an issue with the pickup at Pilatus, we were picked up by another car dispatched from Zurich.
We had a wonderful time on our trip! We had a good group of travelers with us as well. Our driver, Tenasis was easy going and kind. He even offered to take a group picture of us and even took a picture with us as well! He arranged our day so that we wouldn’t miss the views on Mt. Pilatus since the weather forecast predicted some rain that day. We appreciated that beautiful the views were undoubtedly beautiful! Thank you for a great trip!
