Doing what: Interlaken and Grindelwald Day Trip from Lucerne
Be aware! I signed up for this tour thinking the tour was of Interlaken and Grindelwald, as the name suggests. But, it turned out everyone else on the bus was going to the top of Jungfraujoch, which is a 200 CHF round trip cable car ride. It's also a 20 minute drive from Grindelwald. I'm a student and clearly couldn't afford that, so the driver had to take me separately to Grindelwald by myself. The only reason I recommend this tour is because Grindelwald is incredible. I had about 5 hours there, so I paid 30 CHF for a gondola up to the top of First, and then hiked about 2.5 hours down. Amazing.
Also, know that the tour stops for literally 30 minutes in Interlaken. I would've liked at least an hour, but there honestly isn't much to do there anyway beyond the views

Doing what: 2-Day Mt Rigi Tour from Zurich Including Mineral Baths and Lake Lucerne Cruise
A quite amazing setting. Nothing beats swimming outside in a hot pool with snow lying all around while taking in views of the Alps across the valley. The hotel rooms are a little basic, but I suppose most people are enjoying the spa or the great outdoors most of the time so that doesn't matter. Dinner can't be faulted - superb food. Outside, Rigi is stunning - we took the train to the top (Rigi Kulm) then walked back through the snow passing by beautiful alpine chalets and the smell of woodsmoke. Just what you want from the mountains, and a relaxing journey by boat and train to get there too. Chris, UK

An amazing experience! Fantastic views from Mount Rigi, beautiful mineral baths indoors and outdoors designed by Mario Botta, the hotel rooms are basic but everything you need and the view from our room was spectacular, 4-course dinner and breakfast were excellent - we couldn't have asked for more!

Doing what: Mount Pilatus Summer Day Trip from Lucerne
Absolutely beautiful scenery. It's a must see, but the tour group seemed disorganised. 4 people had to stand in the coach as there wasn't enough seating. Also 2nd leg of funicular was very overcrowded, it was really uncomfortable

This tour was great. We had a wonderful tour guide who was very knowledgeable. We had plenty of time up at the top of Mt Pilatus to see all we wanted, take pictures and have a nice lunch.

This was a great tour. We had a picture perfect day the day we did this tour. The views from the mountain are just amazing. Loved all the different modes of transportation to get up and down the mountain. The boat ride on the lake was beautiful. This is a great tour to do.

The excursion was well organized and our tour guide was excellent. We were fortunate to have great weather especially since we booked weeks in advance. The following day was overcast with poor visability so don't book until you know it will be clear. The views are beautiful and we got to hear some men playing alp horns. We brought our own lunch and wine and ate at a picnic table near the restaurant.

The trip would have been even more fantastic if it had been a clear sunny day instead of being completely overcast and rainy, and for safety reasons we actually couldn't take the cable cars up the mountain but did the cogwheel train both ways, which actually was a lot of fun and had amazing views and quite an impressively steep incline!!! At the top it was snowing and cold, but I am glad I did the ten minute hike to the summit because for just a few minutes the fog cleared and we were able to see the gorgeuos views of the lake and landscape below and take pictures! After the tour we had the cruise on the lake which was absolutely gorgeous. The other travelers were nice and friendly and from different parts of the world and made some new friends.. Our guide was amazing and very friendly. Overall it was a fantastic experience! Def 5 stars...

Really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed the cog wheel train which provided fantastic view and also the cruise on Lake Luzern. It was too bad it was foggy so we couldn't take full advantage of the view from the mountain. Enjoyed this and would recommend to others.

Doing what: Eiger and Jungfrau Panorama Day Trip from Lucerne
The Panoramic day trip was simply out of the world. The Eiger, Monche and Jungfrau covered in snow and the beautiful scenery was breathtaking. The train rides were excellent as we could see the mountains at such a close range. Interlaken and Grindelwald were beautiful. Our tour guide named Kid was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting.

Doing what: Mount Pilatus Summer Day Trip from Lucerne
Mt. Pilatus is a fantastic place to be. If its not cloudy, it offer some of the most spectacular views!.... Once on top you can do a 40 min trek, and there are 2 view points from where you can enjoy beautiful scenic views of the valley. Unfortunately you dont get to do all activities within the time allocated by the tour company. The first stop where they ask you to stay on and get off directly at the top of Mt. Pilatus has some nice adventure activities which are not part of this tour and are also not allocated any time incase you'd like to do it on your own. All in all... great place, but it needs more time so i suggest you should do it on your own since its very accessible by train..
