The peaceful waters of Lake Lucerne and the mighty summit of Mt. Rigi are two of the Swiss Alps’ most popular sights, but reaching them by public transport can be a challenge. This private 8-hour combination cruise and cog-wheel railway tour from the city makes it possible to check both off your list in a day, plus take in other sites of interest such as the town of Arth-Goldau.

Following a pickup at your hotel in Lucerne or Lucerne train station, meet your private guide and transfer into central Lucerne to begin your 8-hour tour. With fully flexible itinerary, enjoy the freedom to choose your own route through the spectacular scenery. Perhaps hop aboard a sightseeing boat for a cruise on sparkling Lake Lucerne, and gaze out over the pretty shoreline from your vantage point on the water. Take the 35-minute cog-wheel railway from Vitznau to the top of Mt. Rigi — at an altitude of 5,900 ft (1798m) — and marvel at panoramic views over the surrounding peaks. Capture the scenery on camera and stop for lunch (own expense) in one of two mountaintop restaurants. Then, take a different route back down — passing through Arth-Goldau on the eastern flank of Mt. Rigi. Back down at ground-level, transfer back to your original starting point to bring your private tour to an end.
