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.

5.00The tour was wonderful. We did the tour on Friday May 22,2026. Our guide was wonderful. I think his name was Vincenzo. He was very personable, explained things about the tour and was on top of keeping track of everyone in his group when we were on free time.

4.00The description never explained you had to pay another 25.00 to cruise 1st class. For the cost of the excursion it should have been included. Shocking they wanted more money. Felt like a last minute scam. Also it did not feel like a small group with 22 people. Guide was a little difficult to understand.
Great Views
