Excursão de um dia no Monte Pilatos e Lucerna a partir de Zurique

The scene is exotic and exceptionally. It balanced the city tour, the mountain travel and cruise experience. However, there are several points to note. The tour has 44 participates, a super large group, with only one tour guide. The tour guide explained the arrangement in both English and Spanish. I don't know why they did not separate it into one English tour and one Spanish tour. Two guys are missing in the middle. Our bus departed and got back to the meeting point in the middle to the mountain which wastes twenty minutes. They are named as the best tour of the Swiss. However, I joined another tour offered by another company and approached their best counter for information, the reception just told me to not their tour, find the guide by my own. On the Mt Pilatus, tour guide wishes the squash all 44 participants into a cable car of capacity around 56. With lots of other tourists, the latter half of the group has to wait at the station for 15 minutes. Moreover, tour guide said to gather at 3:20pm, but he appeared at 3:30pm. Last but not least, their first stop is opposite side to Lucerne, roughly Weggis for a toilet break. It would be much much better to move the toilet break at Weggis to the city tour at Lucerne.

This was an amazing experience and well worth the price. Konrad was an excellent tour guide! He took the time to help everyone get the photos they wanted.

Absolutely wonderful! Lucerne was very nice. Gondola ride was comfortable and great views. Mt Pilates - breathtaking. Rail ride down unique. Then boat ride. Highly recommend!

Excellent outing. Mt Pilatus is beautiful. Everything went smoothly. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable.

Pros: The sites are incredible! Lucerne is delightful and the lake is spectacular. The gondola up to Pilatus is a beautiful view and once up on the mountain, it is magical. The views, the little hikes, the restaurants are all worth the trip. The cog tram down is also a great experience, cowbells and all. Then a lovely boat cruise on the lake to finish the day. I very highly recommend this trip! Cons: if you prefer smaller, more private and accommodating busses, be aware this is a huge, double decker bus with no armrests and quite cramped. Also, from Zurich, you are on the same bus with your morning group. However, be aware that more people join the tour from Lucerne just to go up the mountain. I mention this because although you are promised that your backpacks/personals are secure and locked on the bus while you explore Lucerne, these new people were on the bus already when we returned. Anyone could have gone through my bag (thankfully not!) but just be aware. Also, morning folks lost their seats when the next group joined. My biggest quibbles were the timing at Lucerne and the mountain. At least 30 minutes more in Lucerne and 30 minutes less on the mountain would be better. Also, the bus stop in Lucerne is waaaaayyyyy to far from the center where everyone wants to go. You lose nearly 20 minutes wasted walking round trip, whereas a drop in the center where all the action is would be ideal. Again, this lost 20 minutes made a big impact on being rushed in lovely Lucerne.

No one knows anything . Some of us including me were disappointed because of the descripción in the website . Our tour guide gave us descripción during the bus time but in Lucerne it was totally a free time to know places on our own and I think it should be with guidance also for free time should be at the end of the tour . We wanted to stay longer after the tour because in the morning it was pouring and difficult to go to places .

Best of Switzerland Tours means it. The tour was well organized and the guide Gonzalo was friendly and detailed with all the little things that otherwise would overwhelm the average tourists. Weather was great atop Mt Pilatus despite the 35°C at lower elevations. The tour ended with a cool boat cruise back to Zurich from Lucern. Many good memories and will definitely do it again with the Best of Switzerland Tours.

Loved this tour! It was so fun riding all the different forms of transportation..... bus, gondola, cogwheel train, boat! The views from Mt. Pilatus were breathtaking. We also did the mountain coaster and that was such a blast! Lucerne is such a beautiful city and the lake is so beautiful.

As an older Swiss gentleman (80), I wanted to visit Pilatus one more time. I was positively surprised: All staff members were friendly and helpful. There were so many positive impressions that I cannot list everything due to space constraints. But I have one more: the Chrisikuchen at the valley station in Alpnachstad deserves top points. It was an unforgettable excursion with fair prices.

Absolutely perfect and fantastic tour! Loved the transportation and Rolf was a great guide. His knowledge of the area was amazing.
