5.00The driver and the guides were excellent. The drive to the destination was smooth and he was great navigating through the many switchbacks and narrow small town roads. The guides were cheerful, knowledgeable and very helpful. Highly recommend this excursion!

5.00We had a great day. Alexander was our guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, spoke in English and Spanish. Our first stop was Lucerne. Such a beautiful city, we had our own time to walk & explore. Mt. Titlas was stunning. We took the gondola to the Rotating cable car, that was awesome. The view from the top did not disappoint! The glazier cave was beautiful, my sister said the walk on the bridge was amazing. I’m not great with heights, I was fine with all of it, minus the suspension bridge, I didn’t attempt it🤣 but the pictures from it were stunning. We ate at the restaurant, went to the base bar before our bus headed back, both were good. It was a really great day. The sights along the way, magnificent.
Great day!!

5.00I did this day trip as a female solo traveler. I had an absolutely wonderful time. My guides were Sophia and Sandra, and Hugo was our driver. They were all so great!!!! Mt. Titlis was absolutely breathtaking. We had amazing sunny weather, so all of our pictures looked so good! Lucerne was a short stop, only about 1 hour, I was able to see the highlights, snap some pics, and have a quick to go lunch. Bus was a far walk from the Lucerne city center. So that cuts into your time in Lucerne cause you have to make sure you're back in time. Definitely try to eat in Lucerne, there is so much to do at Mt. Titlis, you won't want to sit and eat lunch for an hour. My only complaint was, the tour is 12 hours long, and we did not stop for bathroom breaks at all. It was about an hour drive to our first destination (Lucerne), and thankfully there were public bathrooms in the area we arrived in/parked in....We also were not allowed to eat or drink on the bus. Plus, there were no phone charger outlets. For such a long day trip (10ish hours), I think you should be able to have a small snack or coffee on the bus. Overall, great tour and would definitely go again!!!
Thank you, Andrea, for a fantastic experience!

5.00Today was a memorable day! Tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, kind and made sure every detail was taken care of. We started in Zurich, spent a couple hours in Lucerne, and then off to Mt. Titlis — taking a gondola to the top, walking over a suspension bridge, walking through an ice cave, and taking pictures of the magical scenery. Photos on my camera just didn’t do it justice!
Scam, with a chance of clouds

1.00This was by far the worst experience. Please check the weather before the cancel date and time or else they will still drive you to a mountain to look at fog and have everything closed. I’ve asked for a refund twice and they haven’t even responded - thus me writing a negative review. Seriously. Check the weather before you go a day or two in advance. If there’s ANY chance of fog or clouds - cancel and get your money back.

5.00The tour was wonderful, everything very good. The guides, Victor, Michelle, Paulo and the main guide were spectacular. Very helpful and organized. It's a pity that the top of Mount Titles was closed due to the heavy snowstorm. But we had a lot of fun at Trubsse.
