Review of the Mt Rigi and Lucerne day trip from Zurich, with cable car, cogwheel train, Lake Lucerne boat ride, free time, and practical tips.

“This is a nice tour & the process to do it is worth it. Cable car, train & especially the boat trip are worth every penny. Lucerne is a beautiful must visit place but more touristic than expected. Find the right train was easy cause of the departures board next to the statıon. Find the bus at the end was a bit stressful and we made it last minute. Also i would like to inform that there is not much to do at Rigi Mountain & the written guidelines for some suggested things to do were leaving us make circles over the mountain & the only possible way to follow…”

Review of the independent Mount Rigi tour from Lucerne, including the lake cruise, cogwheel train, cable car, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Loved that all the tickets were bundled and we could explore Mt Rigi at our own pace. Would have saved a little anxiety if Viator had let us know that the bar code is the "ticket" - all you need for the boat, cogwheel train and aerial cable car. The Viator info said it covered all the tickets and provided a complete timetable - NOT TRUE; also, wasn't sure if a Viator rep would meet us and give us physical tickets. As it turned out, it was super easy - just show the bar code; the only thing they really looked at was the number of adults it covered. (Just…”

Review of a private Lake Lucerne tour with Bürgenstock, Seebodenalp, Lucerne, chocolate, Victorinox, and glassmaking stops.

“Chris did a great job offering to make adjustments to our tour. It was raining when he arrived and offered to move the tour to the following day. We were not able to do this so we made the best of a rainy day and we loved the cooler weather and the rain! We chose to visit the glass factory which was a bit boring. The chocolate tour likely would have been more fun. We saw some beautiful places around Lucerne and it was important to Chris that we had lunch at a great place! All in all, it was a tremendous and I would highly recommend to all!”

Review of a private Mt. Rigi hike from Lucerne with farm visit, Swiss sausage BBQ, 360-degree views, and a boat ride home.

“We like seeing hidden gems when on vacation and this was definitely one. We loved getting to hike on some lesser traveled pass and get up close and personal to the roaming cows. Having Mark do a bbq in one of the outposts was a wonderful and unique experience. Taking the ferry back was an unexpected bonus that allowed the trip to really show all aspects of the area.”
