5.00Our guide, Gabby, was fantastic. We met her at the specified location and proceeded to have a memorable day despite the weather not being ideal. The top of the mountain was in clouds so we were unable to see the views. We did have clear weather from Weggis part way down the mountain that were spectacular. Gabby was very knowledgeable and full of information. She really made the day fun. Maybe you could organize the trip directly with the different transportation systems but if you're not familiar with the area this is the way to go. Having someone that could share historical and cultural information on generally everything made for a wonderful experience. Thanks Gabby
Beautiful views from Mount Rigi

5.00Our guide Carola was brilliant and had our group enthralled from start to finish. Her communication was excellent and our group was small so our day was a pleasure. Our itinerary was exactly as advertised and Carola took us for a lovely scenic hike as well. An excellent choice.
