5.00Such a fun day! The panoramic train was super comfortable and the views were unreal. I loved having time to walk around both Lucerne and Interlaken — two totally different vibes but both amazing. Our guide kept everything easy and stress-free, which made the whole trip even better. Definitely recommend if you want a chill way to see some of the prettiest spots in Switzerland!
I want to repeat it! Nice guide tour

5.00Very nice and unforgettable experience on the train. It was amazing to see the transition from fall to winter, with white snow starting to appear on the tops of the mountains along the way. Lucerne and Interlaken were really cool towns, full of history and nice shops. It was great not to feel rushed, and our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and—most importantly—flexible when we wanted to stop to buy or see something during the tour. Highly recommend it.
I would do it again! Highly recommend it.

5.00Wonderful experience! The panoramic train ride was incredibly scenic and comfortable — the large windows offered breathtaking views of lakes and mountains. I really appreciated that there wasn’t too much walking involved, making it an easy and relaxing day. Visiting both Lucerne and Thun in one trip was perfect — two charming Swiss cities with plenty of beauty and culture to enjoy. A great way to see more of Switzerland in a single day!

5.00Everything from meeting our hostess to returning to Basel was wonderful. Our hostess was the best! She provided knowledgeable narration throughout the trip, not too much to be overwhelming and not too little to feel neglected I have been on many Viator experiences throughout the world. Juliana made a great destination a wonderful experience

5.00A perfect day trip from Basel! The panoramic train offered stunning views of the Swiss Alps—definitely the highlight. Lucerne was charming with its lakeside views and historic old town, and Thun was a hidden gem with fewer crowds and beautiful castle views. It’s a packed day, but well worth it if you're short on time and want to see a variety of landscapes and towns. Bring a camera and comfortable shoes!
Friends and panoramic train
