2.00Instead of a 16 passenger sprinter travel van we were emailed tickets to catch the train from Basil to Lucerne. Not what we expected. I also mentioned that one person in our group was walking challenged and that problem was not addressed. Although we were told it was light walking is extremely difficult for our family member to get around. When we emailed what type of clothing should we bring, we got no answer. We delayed the small group waiting for us by arriving late and waiting at the wrong location because it wasn’t specifically identified in the email. We are also not notified that we would be stuffed on a city bus between the train ride from Basil and the ride to the base of the mountain. This was not at all what we expected. Although Rose, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, I would not recommend this trip for this price.

5.00Rose was very knowledgeable about the history and area and very friendly. She met us at our train station and then met with the others in Lucern for the Mt. Pilatus tour. I would definitely do this again. It's worth the money and time!
Excellent Excursion

5.00Had an amazing today. From Basel, train to Lucerne. Went up Mt. Pilates, took a cable car and as we rose over the fog, there was the mountain. We were so lucky to have a clear sunny day. Tour guide Michael was perfect! Friendly and informative and always was looking out for us. Highly recommend this tour.
Highly recommended

5.00Michael was an excellent guide. He gave us information beyond just highlights. He answered a wide variety of questions. The scenery was breathtaking between city, lake and Mountain View’s.
