5.00We had good tour guides (Gonzalo), who gave you a little history as we drove from Zurich to Lucerne and Stanserhorn. He was polite and gave us good directions for the unguided portions of our trip. Luzurn is a beautiful town full of history and beautiful architecture and great cuisine. We left around 9:30am and returned close to 7pm. The Cabrio ride up Stanserhorn is amazing!!!

1.00The guide was terrible. Didn’t explain anything to us was rude Your brochure on what happens should be rewritten to explain step by step on what happens. That you have free time to see the lion monument we thought the guide was taking us Dropped us off at the stanshorn for people that are from out of the country lwe were left there with this pamphlet to figure it out. You need to explain that you are in lucerne go to the lion monument etc then explain that you will be dropped off in Stans you take the car up so far and get on the gondola to the top of the mountain. Explain the time the gondola goes down. Then explain that you take the train and the time that it leaves the station where the station is and the time it takes to get back to town. Make this more user friendly for people that are from out of the country would benefit from a clearer explanation
Great trip
