Another beautiful day trip.
Fantastic tour and the guide was great. Ideal tour for doing your own thing. Views were absolutely stunning and we loved Lucerne.
Would definitely recommend! Great Trip! I wasnt sure whether to choose this or one of the others advertised on this website but my aunt who used to live in Switzerland suggested that this tour would be best because you get to ride a cogwheel train, take a boat trip and walk around Luzern all for a reasonable price.
Glad I took this advice! We didnt get bored all day because there was so much variation in things to do and the scenery.
The guide on the coach trip to and from the pick places (two 1 hour and a half coach trips) was kind, interesting and helpful!
If you are looking for a day trip to see the swiss countryside, a mountaintop view and a walk around a quaint city then this is it!
We were also blessed with good weather!
Enjoy!
The day trip to Mt. Rigi was more than we expected. The views were amazing and the tour was very organized. After descending from the mountain, you are taken on a short boat trip to Lucerne which also rivals Zurich for its scenic views.
So fun and absolutely worth it! Our driver/tour guide was outstanding. All the pieces and parts worked seamlessly. The view at Mt Rigi is spectacular. The cable/train/boat rides were delightful. Lucerne is breath-taking.
Very very nice trip :)
We had a wonderful day with a good overview of Switzerland, Zurich, and the local area through which we were touring.
Though this was mostly self guided, it was amazing. The bus dropped us off and gave us all the necessary tickets for the cable car ride, the cog wheel train and for the boat ride on lake Lucerne. There were no issues and we had a great time.
Excellent planning and timing.
A must to see.
Great view of the Alps mountains from Mount Rigi. The bus dropped us at Weggis. Took the cable car and cogged wheel train to Mount Rigi. We got to spend about 2 hours up there. Took the cogged wheel train back to Vitznau. Immediately upon reaching Vitznau, we had to board the boat to Lucerne. The one hour boat ride from Vitznau to Lucerne was awesome with some spectacular view of the mountains and the lakes and the small towns around the lake. Once we reached Lucerne we were on own again to explore the town from about 2 hours. The bus came in at around 545pm and took us back to Zurich. Overall it was a good trip but it would have been nice if we had a guided tour of the Lucerne city.
The beauty is breathtaking.
Fortunately it was a lovely day at Zurich and en route to Rigi Kulm, Vitznau and Lucerne. The last time I went in 2000 the guide came with us to Rigi, Lucerne told us a lot of local stories and we had some hot wine served to skiers back from a run. This time the bus dropped us off at Arth Goldau and proceeded on to pick us up back at Lucerne at 6 pm. Not a problem except missing out on some local stories.
We had a great day in mid June - the weather was kind, the spring flowers abundant, andwe enjoyed the variety of transports - bus, funicular, cog railiway and ferry.. No problems with instructions for his self guided tour.
We had no guide or help. There was no one else signed up for our tour so the guide simply gave the various tickets and we had to find our own way around. We were able to do this but the tour was no help except for the appropriate tickets.
