Reviews

Mt Pilatus

We went to Lucerne and enjoyed it but decided to pay more money and continue on the bus to Mt Pilatus. We are so glad we did. It was a wonderful experience. We were in Europe 16 days and Mt. Pilatus and Paris were the highlights of our trip.
Great Tour

Lucerne is well worth the visit, nice town with history and architecture. A side trip to the Transportation Museum for a few hours was interesting.
Beautiful and educational!

Having a weekend to yourself in Zurich is priceless! After a lot of research and reading of other reviews, I decided to book the day trip from Zurich to Lucerne. The bus ride from Zurich to Lucerne was gorgeous. The tour guide - Meenu - spoke in English and Spanish teaching us about the hidden aspects of Switzerland during the bus ride and i was personally sad to hear her stop at the end of bus tour. After taking us to the lion monument and helping us click pictures, we were left to our own devices for 6 hours. Armed with a list of key places to visit, I was quite happy to roam around on my own. The cruise on the lake is a must! The on-board commentary helped to better understand the history and each view was worth a thousand pictures. The weather - cold and rainy - put a bit on a damper on the day but I honestly cannot say I would have preferred to stay indoors and miss this day in Lucerne. There was something for everyone - the transport museum for a family that wanted to be indoors with their 6 year old or pure roaming around for those who were more experimental. Organized and efficient tour... would surely recommend this one and looking forward to my next one already!
Entertaining

The tour around the lake is a beautiful one hour. Highly recommended in good weather. You get to see the beautiful villas around. And some small boats will be all around.
