Our tour guide Michael was outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable about the area and history and a great story teller. Highly recommend
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with Mike. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Swiss adventure!
Michael was an wonderful guide that took us on the most amazing day trip! He was so knowledgeable about everything from history to plants. He even gifted us with a short video reel of our day. Would highly recommend Michael and this tour!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing day with Michael. Thank you again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to the Alps again soon!
Our Mt. Rigi and wellness experience was fantastic! Our tour guide was Lou and she was wonderful. She contacted me before the trip to ask questions about what we wanted to do and about our fitness level to make sure our trip was tailored to us. She gave us options for lunch with one option being a local mountain Swiss dairy farm and it was so fun to have a traditional Swiss lunch right in the middle of the alps. Lou was personable, knowledgeable and just so much fun! We got to see so many amazing views and Lou made sure to take us to the best spots for views and photo opportunities! We would 100% take this trip again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a fantastic Mt. Rigi and wellness experience with Lou. We’d love to welcome you back to Switzerland anytime!
Our day was magical. Our tour guide Monika was truly the best tour guide we could have hoped for. She was so friendly, warm and helpful. She did everything in her power to give us the most wonderful day. She was so informative. She could answer every question about the mountains in the area, including the history, the geology as well as telling us folklore stories relevant to each location. She also intuitively gave us space to enjoy the silence when we wanted to be contemplative. We felt very safe as she knew the mountain so well and we could relax in her confidence. As it was foggy and the snow was thick we were really grateful we had chosen to go with a guide. We loved soaking in the warm healing waters. The restaurant we visited was amazing. It was the perfect day, despite having limited visibility. We came back feeling like we had everything we hoped for. -A brilliant experience.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your day felt so special, even in foggy and snowy conditions. Monika will be truly touched by your kind words—her knowledge, intuition, and calm presence in the mountains are exactly what make her such an exceptional guide. We’re so glad you felt safe, relaxed, and able to fully enjoy the experience, from the healing waters to the wonderful meal. Thank you for trusting us with your time in the Alps. We’d love to welcome you back again.
We had a wonderful day with Andreas on our tour of Mt. Rigi. The tour included rides on a train, a boat, a cog wheel train and a gondola. Although the weather did not cooperate to allow for beautiful views, we still had a fun time. The scenery was pretty and Andreas was accommodating and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He is a Lucerne native and knows the area exceptionally well. You will not go wrong with this tour or with Andreas.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time on the Mt. Rigi tour, despite the weather not being on your side. Andreas is truly a gem, with his local knowledge and friendly, accommodating nature. Thank you again for recommending the tour and Andreas – we truly appreciate it. We’d love to welcome you back to Switzerland for more adventures in the future!
We had a very nice day with Michalis as our tour guide for the day. I think he was hired by my-mountains as a third party. As such, the experience was great - he was very prompt in timing everything out so that our day was executed very efficiently. Michalis was very knowledgable about the region and provided interesting insights as we spent the day together. The tour itself was good in that we obtained some breathtaking views. The spa was a fun experience as well. One area that would have been better would have been to allot some time for lunch during the tour. We had to skip out on the spa a bit early to go get some food, and there weren't many options available. The other area to pay attention to is that the transparency of what you're paying for via my-mountains is not very clear. The description says that all transportation is covered in the fee, but we ended up paying for our own Swiss Travel Pass nonetheless - I don't know if I double paid for that since there is no detail provided that breaks out all of the costs. My recommendation would be to find Michalis as a tour guide separately and book directly with him.
Dear Dave, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Michael is part of our Team of Guides and works for us not as a third party. The description we gave, as well as what is included was very clear and transparent from our side. You mentioned you had Swiss Passess and we did not charge for the transportation. However, when you met Michael in the morning of the tour, he called us and mention you did not have the Swiss Pass for the day for some reasons we do not know. So you had to purchase your train tickets as we did not include them in our service. I hope this clarify and wish you a great rest of the day.
Thomas was a great guide. He took the time needed with us, and was very thorough in his descriptions of the sights. There was a mixup in the tour content, which caused some early issues, but Thomas helped to alleviate/correct them very well.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It really helps us improve. We're really glad that Thomas managed the situation so well and that you enjoyed the tour. Best wishes, My-Mountains Team
Our tour guide, Ezra, was fantastic! He was the perfect balance of easy going and informative, relaxed and knowledgeable, accommodating and experienced. Switzerland is a beautiful country and we will be back!
Dear Laila, thank you very much for the review, we are happy you had a great guided hike with Ezra and we look forward to seeing you again with us.
Thank you so much for the great service, the choice of hiking trail with the stunning landscape views. The best part was definitely chilling at the spa 🎉😃
Dear Sulafa, thank you very much for the review. We are happy you enjoyed the experience and we look forward to seeing you again.
Ezra was such a joy to be around and made my day beyond special and memorable. Can not say enough kind words about him and the tour. For my very limited time in Lucerne he made sure I had the most incredible day ever. I feel so so lucky and Ezra was amazing!!! Highly highly recommend.
Dear Brianna, thank you very much for the feedback. We are glad you had a great time with Ezra. We hope to see you back in Lucerne and we wish you a lovely day.
