Lars Faber was an excellent guide. He was friendly and shared a lot of interesting information about Lucerne and the train and the surrounding area. He kept everyone moving along at a both comfortable and efficient pace. Rheinhold was a fantastic driver and we felt very safe in his charter. The views and all these modes of transport were so special—gondola, train, boat. Highly recommend!!

Good Tour But….

Kevin O, 05-11-2022

There were four of us that booked this tour. We were disappointed to learn once we were on the bus heading from Zurich to Lucern that our tour would not include the advertised boat ride on Lake Lucern or the Gondola cable ride down from Mt Pilatus. Maybe we would not have booked it if this were made known ahead of time. The tour operator YO Tours, said the boat ride only occurs during the summer season. And they indicated that the Gondola cable ride down was not going because they do maintenance in October and November. They did provide a $20 voucher toward lunch which could be used at either of the two restaurants at the top of Mt Pilatus, however only one of the restaurants was open…another small disappointment. Overall it was a great experience and the guide was excellent, but not what we expected based on the tour description on trip advisor. It felt like a bait and switch situation. After we brought it to the tour operator’s attention, they informed the internet booking sites. Hopefully it will not happen to future travelers.
