The drive from Zurich to Mount Rigi was great. It was very scenic and beautiful. The tourguide was very friendly and pleasant. The busdriver did a great job The biggest disappointment was when we reached the top of Mount Rigi. We booked this tour because it was mentioned very specifically that we could go and do sledge riding on Mount Rigi. On arriving there we were told that it was no longer possible. I am very sorry you cannot say things like that, get people to book a tour and then we must discover we were miss lead. There was another family on the same tour who had exactly the same expections. The little boy was very upset when he discovered he could not go and do sledge riding. We complained to the tourguide. She checked on the internet and said we were correct. It was advertised with the option of doing sledge riding. Telling me she was sorry did not solve my problem. I could have booked another tour in and around Zurich that would not have been so expensive if I had known the true facts. The boat trip was good. We were left on our own to explore Lucern. Sorry I cannot recommend this tour if you want to go and do sledge riding. But once again I must mention the tourguide and busdriver were great.

Although I did not have good weather, it was still a cool experience to go up to the mountain tops and see the country from a different perspective!

The trip was good. A little bit of advice on the clothing for the weather would have been helpful as we are from Singapore which sees no winter.

Me and my wife had a wonderful experience with this trip. A combination of all 3 modes of transport road,rail and water and was well organised. Our guides Andy and Robert were informative and friendly. The alps were amazing and also the boat ride to Lucerne with free time to spend at both places was great.

The tour was wonderful. We received clear, understandable instructions on where to meet our tour leader. I felt that we got to spend time on our own exploring the sights, which was nice. I might have spent less time on Mt Rigi so I could spend more time touring Lucerne. Very nice tour.

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!

Would wouldn't want to do this tour? Taking the cog wheel train high above the clouds that hung over the city of Zurich until we reached the top and the sun was out and the views spectacular. Had a nice lunch on top and took the Red train down the other other side to Vitznau to take a boat to Lucerne, boat took 1 hour and the views were so beautiful. Had free time in Lucerne which was so very nice. The one surprise was once the guide took us to the train we were on our own all day, I was a little worried at first but it turned out just fine. I thing that should have been mentioned in the trip information.

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.
