Excellent! Great value trip!
What a wonderful tour. I would do it again and definitely recommend it. Our guide Andy was great!!
Fantastic tour! Breathtaking landscapes, very nice guide and perfect atmosphere. A real aventure from the city center of Zurich to the top of the mountain in the ice-grotto! Lucerne is also beautiful, we found some nice and typical little shops there. Thanks to our guide! Really recommend the tour to everyone wants to escape and take a break.
Enjoyed the tour although did not realize it was a self-guided tour until I arrived. My friend decided to take a sled down Mt Rigi and the sled took her down the other side of the mountain and we were separate for over 2 hours! A stressful 2 hours! But the scenery was beautiful and Carnival was going on in Lucerne.
Me and my wife were on our honeymoon, so we wanted to go somewhere we could relax and enjoy the wonders of nature, this trip gave us everything we could ask for! The day started with the perfect weather, nice sunshine with cool breeze. The tour guide from The Best of Switzerland tours, Andy, was very friendly and polite. So moving on, we took the coach ride all the way to the start of the cogwheel train station.The Blue cogwheel train up to Mount Rigi was very nice, lets you sit back, relax and enjoy the very scenic views as you make your way up to Rigi. Once at the top, the majestic views of the Swiss Alps awaits you, we were so in awe of the beautiful Swiss alps. At the top of Mount Rigi there's like a small cafe where u can get your coffee and snacks. After an hour or so at the top, we ascend back down with the Red cogwheel train and finally we took the boat and make our way back to Lucerne, the boat ride was great as well. Overall this trip is very well worth it, we enjoyed ourselves and its a part of our honeymoon we would never forget!
from being picked up on time at our hotel and being able to bag the front seats to being dropped off at the coach station 10 hours later we had a wonderful day. it was my 50th birthday and going up a mountain in the swiss alps was just the way to spend it. our rep was very informative and friendly.we arrived at the cable car and it set off after just a few minutes. then on up to the summit. oh my what can you say about the views. breathtaking / stunning/fabulous etc. we have never been anywhere like it before. we didn't stay as long as the tour guide suggested as it was a very cold and windy day up there, but we caught the train back down and got on an earlier boat with no problems. the journey down to lucerne was just lovely complimented a tasty glass of birthday wine.the sights of lucerne more than lived up to our expectations and we met the coach at the arranged meeting point. it's a pity it was a sunday as most of the shops were shut, but it didn't spoil a very memorable special birthday. thankyou from diane and eddie
A great day - the trip provided a variety of activities, the coach, the gondola, cog wheel train, and boat. The highlight was sledging in the beautiful Alps. Would recommend the trip to all that enjoy adventures.
An enjoyable day in the mountains but could be shortened up by at least two hours. The boat tour would have been more enjoyable had the attendant not been so rude. We were very rudely shuffled off the upper deck because we weren't "first class". For the price we paid for this day trip we certainly should have been. A nice way to enjoy the mountains but quite pricey!
A great day out with so many different aspects to the day.
A great way to see alot in one day. The bus station is central, the tour guide was excellent and the combination of guided and self guided was perfect for me. Christmas is a great time to see the traditions of Switzerland.
Fantastic Trip. Brilliant Guides, amazing scenery, We did the sledging at the top of Mount Rigi - This is not for the faint hearted - 90 degree bends - Steep drops - MAD - We did it three times - What a fantastic day!!!
Our driver and guide, was very helpful, friendly and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to others.
The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Mount Rigi was beautiful especially for someone who has never seen snow. Lucerne was also lovely and you can decide how much time you spend at each place. The guide drops you off at the cable car and then picks you up in Lucerne so you are really paying for transport and some information on the bus trip to Mount Rigi. I enjoyed the day though.
We were promised hotel pickup offered to certain hotels and we manage to book the same to get the hotel pickup service. Finally, we were charged CHF 20.00. Very annoying situation! Could not enjoy the cable car ride since it was closed for maintenance. For all the viewers, you will be left alone until the end of the tour with the limited information and guidance. Tour guide was available for less than a hour till the time we reach the train station. No guide available when needed!!!. Still like to recommend to others since the place is great and we had a nice experience. Good to have a group to avoid getting lost! I rather rate is as self tour.
