It was great! Our tour...

5.00It was great! Our tour guide shared a lot of information on the drive. We had time to walk around on our own in Lucerne- just under an hour- and do some fun things in Engelberg while part of the tour went to Mt. Titlis. We enjoyed going at our own pace and eating, shopping and going for a toboggan ride in Engelberg!

4.00Both cities are lovely but there was absolutely not enough time to really appreciate Lucerne. If we had an extra day we would have gone back as this tour did not provide very much time there. Engelberg is charming.

2.00Basically this is just a bus ride to two towns with a bit of narration on sights on the four hours of driving. Guides did not follow or guide us in both towns, and in Engelberg we were dropped off by bus driver for 3 hours with very little to do. Most shops closed and Monastery tour only at 4pm. One church. Titlis was an upcharge.
