Emil was a wonderful guide. There is no way we could have navigated both Luzern and Mt Titlis in one day on our own.

Exhilerating Experience!!!
Emil, our tour guide picked us up promptly at our Viking boat in Basel at 8:20. He was extremely organized having all of our trolley, bus, and train tickets, as well as the Mt. Titlis activity tickets. Experiencing the Titlis Cliff walk was pretty scary, but the view of the Alps was incredibly amazing. We saw the ice cave, went on the Ice Flyer which was also fun and allowed us to view the glacier and spectacular mountains. We ate the most delicious lunch up in the restaurant at the top of the mountain with Emil, and got to rest for a bit before we descended back down the mountain on the gondola. We hopped back on the bus and train and stopped in Luzern for a quick walk around the city which was lovely. We got back to Basel around 6:30 and Emil walked us back to our boat. This excursion is worth every penny, and Emil was a fantastic tour guide!!!

Fabulous experience
Absolutely amazing trip!! Worth every penny! Guides were knowledgeable and courteous. An amazing experience!! Please update the description of the meeting point. It is not a white building and does not say “City Tours”. This almost caused us to miss our trip.
Operator response
We can not find your reservation and assume, this is listed on the wrong business. On our tour we pick-up all guests from the hotel and do not have any specific meeting point with a white builiding in Basel.

We were planning to do it ourselves but decided to go with a tour guide instead. So happy that we did as it was quite busy when we got tonthe venue but Abraham, our experienced guide, knew all the tricks and he helped make our experience unforgettable.
