5.00Leighton is an amazing guide! He’s incredibly engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We spent an entire day exploring the mountains and lakes around Lucerne. His timing is impeccable - gondolas, lifts, trains and buses all without a hitch or wait! Incredible! We never felt rushed - what a relaxing day and the hikes were great exercise! Can’t thank Leighton enough for all the pictures and videos! He made us some memories of a lifetime! We also learned so much about the culture, history, food and interesting tips about Switzerland. Can’t recommend Leighton enough!!! ❤️❤️❤️

5.00Great tour guide in Rosa. Very knowledgeable about Switzerland and the mountains we toured. Kept us on time without feeling rushed at all. Even gave some recommendations for our next stop in Italy. Highly recommend if short on time to see both Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Rigi. No complaints.
Leighton was the most awesome guide...informed, personable and fun! Could not recommend him more highly.

5.00Could not recommend Leighton more highly! Our tour started in Lucern ending at the top of mountain Pilatus. Took Lake Lucern boat first followed by cog train to top of Mt Pitatus where we had a lovely lunch. Took a gondola back down the mountain. Best ever!
Leighton Rocks!!!

5.00He was the best tour guide you can ask for. Couldn't have been a better tour and the nicest guy. Let's us do what we wanted but have so much information about Switzerland and it was just incredible.

5.00My husband and I stayed in Lucerne 3 nights. We took two day trips. On our second outing we explored the Mountains around Lucerne. Santiago met us at our hotel and we took public transportation to our destinations of Mt Pilatus & Mt Rigi. This was a great way to see the area & it was easy to get around. Santiago is very knowledgeable about the culture as well as the city & sights. I highly recommend!
