In one day we did so much .. just amazing. 2 city tours which didn't involve too much walk so for us was perfect. The panoramic train gave us amazing scenery from green fields to snowy peaks to foggy villages .. just amazing. Go for this tour if you want to have beautiful views from the train and at the same time you visit 2 swiss cities. Everything in one day!!
Wonderful tour

This 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.
Didn’t expect it to be this amazing!

This tour was an unforgettable experience! The panoramic train ride was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views of the Swiss Alps, lush landscapes, and charming villages. Lucerne itself is a picturesque city with its beautiful old town, wooden bridges, and the famous Lion Monument. Afterward, we visited Thun, another gem by the lake, with its medieval charm and castle overlooking the town. The whole trip was seamless, with enough time to explore both cities. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Switzerland in one day!
An unforgettable day!

We had a very nice tour, managing to visit Lucerne, Thun and with a ride on the panoramic train where we could see mountain peaks, lakes, scenic valley, waterfalls. It's a whole day trip and be prepared to walk a bit in the cities. The guide was very knowledgeable and nice!!
