  Konrad was a great guide. There was an issue with the boat, that wasn’t the tour’s fault. But Konrad was able to find a resolution quickly and get us back on the bus without waiting in the sun. Good tour for solo travelers. Be careful if you have any mobility issues - there are several different modes of transport that may be difficult for some. The top of the mountain is good for any skill level - peaks for more experienced walkers, but also two flatter trails for those that can not handle a steep incline.

  This was an absolutely amazing excursion, from start to finish. Totally worth the price tag. It was a once in a lifetime experience for our family!

  I think we would've enjoyed this event, but unfortunately the weather was horrible. Of course, isn't the fault of the tour company that visibility was poor due to heavy rain and fog. At the top of Mount Pilatus, it was a total white-out. So there was nothing to do in the two hours that we had to spend up there - you could see absolutely nothing outside of the windows. I think it would've been fun otherwise, because there are lots of windows to look out over the scenery, and trails we could've walked around on, and I'm sure the view would've been beautiful. But since we couldn't see anything but white, we killed time by spending money in an expensive restaurant in one of the 2 hotels at the top. We just sat there and got wine and some cheese until it was time to go back down. It was still rainy and cold and windy when we got on boat ride on Lake Lucerne. So again that was very disappointing. A negative thing that I would say about the tour company itself is that we had a terrible guide. He had no flag to see or instructions given for us to be able to find him in the crowds when we got to the top of Pilatus or when we came back down, so both times he walked away with part of the group and left the rest of us scrambling to figure out where the heck he was. (Since there were about 25 of us to fit into the cable cars going up and cog train cars going down, we arrived at each place in smaller groups, and there was another bus full of people from the same tour company kind of mixed in with us, making it even more chaotic.) Earlier in the day when we had our first stop in Lucerne prior to going onto Mount Pilatus, the bus was parked quite a distance from the downtown area and the guide told us it was about 10 minute walk, but it was actually more like a 15-20 minute walk at a moderately fast pace. More than half the group was at least 10 minutes late getting back to the bus at the designated time, and 3 people never made it back at all. When we finally left without them after waiting for more than 20 minutes, we found those people still some distance away from our meeting point. Thankfully they weren't stranded in Lucerne! The guide also added absolutely nothing in terms of information or fun facts on the way there and back.
