Our accent to Mount Pilatus will take us aboard the iconic “dragon ride” aerial cable cart, where we will float back to earth suspended in a giant glass cabin. The windowed walls provide 360 views of the Lucerne region, and many compare the experience to flying. Enjoy an ever-changing perspective of the Alpine landscape, as historic Lucerne pulls back into focus as we approach the end of the line. The ride is a highlight of any trip to Mount Pilatus.

Rose was a fantastic tour guide. I felt very safe and in control the whole trip. I would not hesitate recommending this tour. We traveled by train, cogwheel, vehicular, bus, and boat.

This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Rose, was super-friendly and knowledgeable. As it was a small group tour (only five of us, as the weather was forecasted to be lousy), Rose was able to tailor the tour and get us more time at the destinations. She had lots of tips and suggestions on how to get the most out of our visit, and her restaurant recommendation for dinner was great, too!

Amazing day of beautiful sights! Leighton was an outstanding guide with a great perspective of the country and great knowledge of life in Switzerland. He was soooo interesting. The climb to Mt. Pilatus was fun and the views - incredible. Perfect amount of time at the summit. The cruise around Lake Lucerne was a nice end to the day.

We had a great time with our guide, Rose! She told us where to sit throughout the day to get the best views and ensured we got in line early enough to secure those seats. I would highly reccomend this tour!
