5.00We had a wonderful day with Andreas on our tour of Mt. Rigi. The tour included rides on a train, a boat, a cog wheel train and a gondola. Although the weather did not cooperate to allow for beautiful views, we still had a fun time. The scenery was pretty and Andreas was accommodating and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He is a Lucerne native and knows the area exceptionally well. You will not go wrong with this tour or with Andreas.
Great experience. Would recommend booking directly with the local guides.

4.00We had a very nice day with Michalis as our tour guide for the day. I think he was hired by my-mountains as a third party. As such, the experience was great - he was very prompt in timing everything out so that our day was executed very efficiently. Michalis was very knowledgable about the region and provided interesting insights as we spent the day together. The tour itself was good in that we obtained some breathtaking views. The spa was a fun experience as well. One area that would have been better would have been to allot some time for lunch during the tour. We had to skip out on the spa a bit early to go get some food, and there weren't many options available. The other area to pay attention to is that the transparency of what you're paying for via my-mountains is not very clear. The description says that all transportation is covered in the fee, but we ended up paying for our own Swiss Travel Pass nonetheless - I don't know if I double paid for that since there is no detail provided that breaks out all of the costs. My recommendation would be to find Michalis as a tour guide separately and book directly with him.
Great Tour of Mt Rigi

5.00Thomas was a great guide. He took the time needed with us, and was very thorough in his descriptions of the sights. There was a mixup in the tour content, which caused some early issues, but Thomas helped to alleviate/correct them very well.
Perfect!

5.00We did a company team building event yesterday and I had a great time. Andrea and his team made everything run very smoothly. They even managed to keep up busy while we were waiting for the rain to stop.Overall, I had a great experience and learned many things about the region.
