What To Expect
Lucerne
Your guide will greet you at the Lucerne meeting point, before whisking your away to Mt. Pilatus
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.

Great Time - Would Highly Recommend for an Easy Mountain Excursion from Luzern

5.00Had a great time on this today and Carlos was an excellent guide. All 3 forms of transportation were cool in their own way - boat ride from Luzern which was nice despite the morning rain, train up the mountain which was incredible, and gondolas back down provided some scenic views. Would highly recommend!
Easy, Beautiful Day Trip

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Carlos as our guide! He was knowledgeable and everything was well coordinated. We got plenty of time at the top to do/see all we wanted and instructions were clear on when and where to meet up so nobody was left behind.
Great experience

5.00Lincoln was excellent!! Very informative with his information. A couple of things to note, you take a public ferry for the first 90 minutes and you end the tour taking a public bus. Not a big deal as the tour is great but the description isn’t always written this way.
Great time spent

4.00The things we saw were amazing but the tour guide was more of a logistics point getting you from point A to point B and not informative about what you were seeing. Example was on the boat tour she just got us on the boat and left us for two hours only to check in to see if we were okay. Lucky for us we sat near another tour group where the tour guide was explaining all kinds of cool things about the lake and shoreline.
Great!
