Witness breathtaking snowy mountain landscapes on this day trip from Zurich to Mount Titlis. First, your guide points out some top Lucerne attractions on a short orientation drive through the city, followed by some free time in this charming city. Then, continue to Engelberg in the Swiss Alps and ride in a revolving cable car to the top of mighty Mount Titlis for majestic views of ice boulders and crevasses. Get closer to the crevasses on the Ice Flyer chairlift, enjoy some snow tubing at the Glacier Park and walk across Europe’s highest suspension bridge for more spectacular views.

5.00This was a great tour as the driver chiko and guide Angela are amazing people. Angela was a legend she explained everything in detail and was very mindful of our family as we’re travelling with kids. Short stop at lucerne and plenty of time at mount titlis to relax and enjoy. I would highly recommend this tour to people who don’t like to be rushed.

Disappointing Experience – Poor Communication and Lack of Accountability

1.00We were stuck in the first gondola at Mount Titlis for over 45 minutes with no explanation or communication from our tour guide or the staff. It was an extremely frustrating and uncomfortable experience, made worse by the complete lack of updates during the wait. After the incident, the tour guide from Best of Switzerland Tours did not offer any apology or acknowledgment. I later approached a Mount Titlis staff member myself and was told the stoppage was due to an electrical leak concern — something that should have been clearly communicated to us at the time. To add to the disappointment, I learned afterward that passengers affected by the malfunction were entitled to a refund. However, Best of Switzerland Tours did not inform us of this or advocate for us in any way. This experience left us feeling neglected and unsupported. For a professional tour operator, I expected better communication, customer care, and responsibility. I cannot recommend this tour based on how this situation was handled.
