We were lucky to stop in Lucerne on a day they had the farmers market all over old town. Not enough time in the city though. Mt. Titlis was great. Not sure why none of the bus tours have a functioning bathroom on the bus.
Wear warm clothes and proper shoes Take your camera equipment Have a big breakfast because you don’t get lunch until in the afternoon
Excellent excursion. I thank Victor who was always attentive and on top of every detail. He made us live an incredible experience visiting Mount Titlis.
Lucerne and countryside was beautiful from Zurich, a lovely drive in comfortable bus. I had asked for English tour guide but got one that spoke English and Spanish so had to listen to everything twice in different languages which was annoying. Mount Titlis was a waste of money and time as there was a lot of construction going on up the top of the mountain. No snow up there except a snow machine spitting out snow as you walk past. Rotating cable car is not operating so got herded into a large cable car on the last station going up. At least 40 people told to fill up the spaces in the car, so we were squeezed in, quite frightening. When you get to the top it’s just all bare rocks and a slippery path of ice to get to the other building. Suspension bridge only goes out over bare rocks nothing at all what we expected and paid good money for. Caught in peak hour traffic on the way back so didn’t bet back to Zurich till 7.30pm. Victoria the driver was amazing and did a really good job. Lucerne is definitely worth seeing but skip Mt Titlis unless it’s snowing..
Lucerne is an absolutely beautiful city but don’t bother wasting your money to go to Mount Titlis. So much construction going on up there and no snow except for a snow making machine that blows onto you as your trying to navigate the slippery ice walk to the other buildings. The rotating cable car was not working so they crammed about 40 people into a bigger one to go on the last ride up the mountain. It was quite frightening actually with the driver yelling at everyone to move in and fill up all the spaces. Once you’re up there looking over the rocky barren mountains with no snow all you want to do is get off it. Took 1 hour just to get down the mountain with all the queues of people. Such a waste of money. We should of just stayed in Lucerne…
Andrea was our tour guide and she did an outstanding job in leading and managing the tour and our group. She had a very pleasant smile and she was very knowledgeable about the site. She gave us great tips about managing high up in the mountain due to pressure change. The pace was excellent and well planned. We did not feel rushed and we were able to enjoy the glaciers at Mt. Titlis. The view was truly breathtaking. Walking on the suspension bridge was amazing and the view was truly unforgettable and memorable. Filipe was our driver and he drove very safely. We booked this tour company based on the fantastic review and truly they did an outstanding job. We booked several tours with Best of Switzerland tour company and we had a fantastic experience. Andrea, thank you for your great work and we truly had a superb time with you in this Mt. Titlis tour. We highly recommend this tour and the tour company with its high quality tour guide and very safe driver!!
We booked a day tour and it was a great tour. Both of us enjoyed thoroughly. Wonderful experience.
The trip was well organized and our guide was v helpful, friendly and excellent in explaining history about the nearby places. However it was a rainy day and we were not able to do the activities at the top of the mountain which was disappointing
Breathtaking scenery beautiful drive. Long day, but well worth it. Highly recommended to do when in Zurich. Unfortunately our tour guide talked constantly and of course in two languages. The microphone was turned up way too loud. It was just nonstop chatter for the entire drive going there. It gave everybody a headache very nice lady, but she talked too much and was too loud.
Our trip started in Lauterbrunnen, and it was so beautiful we walked around and passed shops, we went into some chocolate shops and it was amazing! Afterwards we headed to Mt.Titlis where we enjoyed the gondolas, the ice flyer thankfully it was clear sunny skies! And the cliff walk! It was all so surreal, seeing the mountains from way up there! The guide was super informative and I loved the fun facts he gave too! Just be prepared to wait a long line for the rotating air lift coming and going!
