Save Your Money — Do It Yourself

1.00Definitely not worth the money! If you’re visiting Lucerne, just take the boat and train on your own — you’ll save at least $900, which you can spend elsewhere. The guide was a nice guy, and I don’t think he was the problem, nor is the attraction itself bad — but you’re clearly paying about twice as much for something you could easily do on your own..
A spectacular trip!

5.00We took this tour on our second day in Luzern after we did Mt. Pilatus the day before. It was way better than expected! The tour to Rigi was an absolute highlight! Our guide was fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting insights. The views from Rigi were breathtaking, even better than at other popular spots. What made it even more special was how few people were around. Highly recommended!!!

5.00I would say, that this is the most underrated tour. The lake boat cruise is stunning, the cogwheel train to Rigi is great, the views are speachless and the return travel by cable car just fantastic. Had a great lunch and a smooth short panoramic walk. I really recommend this tour, as it is less crowded than Mt.Pilatus where we have been the day before. Compared to Pilatus, this tour ist much better!
lovely day tour
