We paid for the tour. The tour operator changed the time of the tour the night before and then did not show up at all at the meeting place. Now Viator is not willing to reimburse for this tour cost. Don’t do it.

Old world charm and historical sites fill this charming city. Visit the St Basil’s Church, the Lion of Lucern monument and take a cruise on the lake.

So Bad! Shouldn’t have gone up in the freezing cold in the first place. Nearly zero visibility The guide was horrible right from the start. Walked far too fast, talked too fast and not facing the group. I could go on and on …. Don’t hire that guy again.

I called the phone number I was given, to clarify the meeting spot, and never got an answer. We barely made it, after several others on our tour finally figured it out. Our guide, Sean, was impossible to hear & acted like he didn’t want to be there. On top of that, the weather was freezing, rainy, foggy, and we could see absolutely nothing from Mt Pilatis! Then had to wait almost an hour for our boat on Lake Lucerne. It wasn’t narrated, & Sean told us nothing, so it was not worth the money we paid.
