Excellent choice, worth every penny! Everything was on time. And there was enough time to fully enjoy each stop, and I can’t even pick a favorite spot because the scenery was simply stunning throughout the entire day! Our tour guide Monika was very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. I 100% recommend it!

Great day in mount Rigi! Monica, our tour guide, was outstanding, super professional, friendly and provided great information and advice of places and things to do. She made a fun day with great views, even better. Thanks a lot! Booking process was easy and with very clear instructions about meeting point. Loved that the day included boat ride, trains and even cable car. I would recommend this tour agency and this day trip 150%

Unfortunately weather was bad and it ended up being a trip where we saw nothing! Better to buy tickets shortly before the trip so you can plan accordingly

Great way to experience the mountains from lucerne. The boat ride to and from lucerne , as well as the cogwill up the mountain and cable car back down made it an overall enjoyable day Monica was very friendly and fyll of knowledge. You have a total of about 2hrs at the top of the mountain. Which is enough time to take it in

The guide was fantastic and accommodating. The scenery is spectacular. The time on top is not enough for hiking but it helps to go with the tour guide to get an idea and go back if needed

We chose this tour because we wanted to be at the top of a mountain in Switzerland and look out at the Alps. We also liked that it included 3 modes of transport. It was an amazing day. Monica was so knowledgeable about the area and was great at moving us through every step of the day, while also giving us free time to wander. The scenery from the boat, the train and the cable car was unbelievably beautiful.

We were a small group of 7. Our guide Ralph was wonderful and made sure that we were where we needed to be and he provided interesting facts about the area. It was a beautiful and sunny day and the views were fantastic. I like walking and decided to walk from the top of Mt. Rigi to the Lucerne return boat in Weggis. It was a beautiful hike but I don't recommend it since it was difficult going downhill and I only had 10 minutes to spare for the last boat at 6:05pm. I highly recommend going to Mt. Rigi on this partially guided excursion.
