5.00We were looking for a scenic train ride experience starting from Zurich and this choice was the right one. We had a great tour! Panoramic train is not from Zurich, is starting from Lucerne and goes until Interlaken. We liked the fact that tour was easy paced and at the end of the day we were back in Zurich. Scenery was just amazing!!
Good views, good company and good guide

5.00Panoramic train ride from Lucerne to Interlaken was gorgeous. We started from Zurich on a normal train but the views there still nice and the commentary of the guided gave us a lot of information that we wouldn't know on our own. We were a small group and enjoyed the interactions within the group very much. Would repeat it any day!
Unforgettable views and a great day trip

5.00This day trip was an incredible way to experience the beauty of Switzerland in just one day. We started in Lucerne, where we had time to explore the charming old town and lakeside views. Then we boarded the premium panoramic train from Lucerne to Interlaken, and the ride was simply breathtaking — the wide windows offered amazing views of mountains, lakes, and picturesque villages all along the way. After the train journey, we continued on to Thun, a lovely town with a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful scenery. Our guide was excellent, sharing interesting insights throughout the day and making sure everyone was comfortable. We also really enjoyed being part of a small group, which made the whole experience more personal and easygoing.
