5.00We had the best time, Michelle was incredibly knowledgeable and educated us about the history and culture of Switzerland as well as Mt Pilatus and Lake Lucerne. It was so beautiful up the top, felt like exploring a winter wonderland. You get an hour up the top of the mountain to explore and grab lunch. We all had an amazing time :))

5.00Michelle was absolutely amazing as our tour guide from Lucerne to Mt. Pilatus. She was so kind, knowledgeable, and patient, and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Even traveling with our 1 yr old and a stroller, we had the best time thanks to her thoughtful guidance and support. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and included. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or guide!

5.00Michelle was amazing and we had a great time! Tour guide was on time, and we did not have to pay any extra for bus tickets as mentioned by previous reviews. My only critique would be for Tours of Switzerland to make their guides more identifiable when waiting at the train station meeting point.
