This small group tour was run very efficiently by our helpful and informative guide. There were many choices of walks and viewpoints when we arrived at the top. We had a clear sunny day and the views were breathtaking. Our cruise home across the lake was a good way to relax and see the Mountain from a different perspective.
It was very busy on the day of our visit. The views are spectacular from the top of the mountain. The funicular is quite an interesting experience on its own, the cog wheel train is also a great ride and the cruise was a very pleasant way to finish the tour. If you choose to do the Tobbaggan ride, be aware that it is expensive for a single trip and not as exciting as a theme park rollercoaster. It also took quite a long time as some riders hold up the process. This then limits your time at the top of the mountain. We found out too late that the walk through the rock gallery took you right around one of the peaks but still enjoyed this tour very much.
An excellent tour. I am so pleased with Viator.com. I've recommended it to so many people. This tour was well worth the money. We took a cogwheel train back with a special skip-the-line. Everybody was having to cut their trip short to stand in line and we were able to enjoy being on the top of the mountain until the last minute. Well worth it!
Awesome tour guide, spectacular scenery, well organised.
This is the best trip and I would thoroughly recommend this day trip to all
great!!!
Excellent experience to an absolutely beautiful part of Switzerland. The tour itself was relaxed and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon
This is a great trip. There is some construction at the top adjacent to the hotel, but it isn't much of a deterrent.
When you climb to the top of the viewing point, you will see breathtaking scenery that surrounds Mt. Pilatus. You are in the heart of the Alps, and this is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The climb may be a bit of challenge for those with health issues, and I would not recommend going past the level of the hotel.
The cog wheel train that takes you down the backside is a must. Find out if there is maintenance or weather issues involving this train before you make this purchase. It definitely affects the value of the package.
This was great fun. We took the cable car up to the mountain and the cogwheel train down. It was not as scary as some reviews mentioned. Worth the trip 100%. The view from the top of the mountain is wonderful. This was a great trip.
Well worth every penny. Extremely pleasant travel experience.
Excellent all round - have already recommended it to others.
What a beautiful day for this trip last time was in a blizzard and saw nothingh!......our guide, Anna, was very personable & knowledgeable about everythng........the entire trip went smooth, enjoyed the hiking and all of the views..............all of the different modes of transportation,..........well worth the price!!
Great trip, everything as advertised. Really enjoyed being in the clouds. Just enough time at the top, had lunch, walked around the mountain. Guide took care of us and informed us of the schedule. I think going up on the cable and going down on the cog and returning on the boat is the best way to go.
Well worth it. Even though we couldnt see much due to the fog the atmosphere & beauty of the place makes the experience necessary.
Excellent trip. Just try and do it when the weather is good. Low cloud will completely blank out the view.
