I had pleasant trip with this Best Of Switzerland Tours and this is my 2nd time with them. Matthew and Shreya was very helpful, kind and cheerful and friendly throughout the whole trip. I especially appreciated how they shared interesting information and stories with us on the bus before we even reached each destination. It made the journey enjoyable and helped us understand more about the places we were visiting. The positive energy and cheerful personality made the whole tour even more memorable. Thank you for making our trip such a great experience! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's worth attending. Transportation and admission fees are the most expensive things in Switzerland, but now one price includes all costs, which is a great deal. The only thing you'll need to pay for is your own food and drinks. There's nothing special about a bolognese pasta, a hamburger meal, or a can of Coke for $5XX.🤭

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."

Since March is the off-peak season for tourism in Switzerland, our group was very lucky to have only three participants. The tour guide, who was also the driver, explained each attraction in great detail. Due to heavy snow and strong winds, we were unable to reach the summit, but the guide immediately refunded 30 Swiss Francs to each person on the spot. For the latter part of the tour, they took us to a nearby town to visit a church and explore the town. Unfortunately, it was quite deserted with not many shops open, but we still had a very peaceful and comfortable afternoon. Moreover, the snow on Mount Titlis was truly beautiful and soft, and the falling snow created a stunning scene. We were also incredibly fortunate when the sun suddenly appeared. ❤️🏔️🇨🇭

We took the “Crash Landing on You” tour with Carlos as our guide and Helio as our driver, and they made the day such a wonderful, memorable experience. Carlos was friendly, easygoing, and knowledgeable, pointing out key scenes from the show and making the tour even more fun. Helio kept everything smooth and relaxed along the way, even on some of the more winding and challenging roads. Switzerland is absolutely stunning, with turquoise glacier-fed lakes and glacier-topped mountains. We had so much fun seeing the pier, bridge, hotels, and house from the end of the show featuring Se-ri and Captain Ri. Carlos also found us a fantastic Italian restaurant, Per Bacco, for lunch in Interlaken; the food was so good we would almost go back just to eat there again. We loved every minute and are very grateful to Carlos and Helio for such a great experience. It was so much fun that we can’t wait to binge the show looking for all the Switzerland scenes.

What to know before visiting Lucerne
Lucerne at a glance: what to expect
Lucerne’s busiest bookings on Klook cluster around cruises, tours, museums and cable cars, giving the year a strong mix of sightseeing and scenic outings. Demand rises and falls through the year, with clear high and low points that shape when attractions are busiest.
Best months to visit and how prices behave
Klook data show demand peaks in September and falls to its lowest in February. Prices trend differently: they climb through late autumn and reach their highest in December, while the lowest typical prices on Klook appear around June. For smaller crowds and lower typical prices, consider travelling in June or the quieter late-winter months; for the full peak-season atmosphere choose September when demand is highest even though prices are usually mid-to-high. Note that peak demand (September) does not exactly match the priciest month (December), so you can experience lively crowds without paying the very highest prices if you time your visit.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book around four days ahead on average, with many last-minute options available a day before; this makes short-notice plans feasible for most activities. If you plan to travel in September or December, consider booking earlier within that typical lead time to secure popular cruises and cable-car experiences. Use Klook to compare availability and lock in tickets a few days out for flexibility, or up to about a month ahead for peak-season certainty.
