4.00We had an awesome experience as first time skiiers. The check in andbus ride and the tour guide (konrad) was soo good. Very imformative. My sticker received at checkin(like ID)drop of half way thru the trip. AT Mount Titlis, everything was organized and all staff friendly. I didnt see any lockers to store your shoes/ personal items after changing into ski gear...i think they should add a pic taken person. During sking to one to take your pics...lol.... Overall its was fantastic!

5.00I am delighted with the tour. The organization was perfect. Our tour guide Marianne informed us bilingually about everything worth seeing and knowing. Marianne did a great job! Bravo and thank you Marianne. Although the weather on the Titlis was not really nice, lots of fog, everyone was more than happy. Thanks for the amazing tour and the excellent tour guide. Always happy to return.
Snow Experience add-on is a waste of money

3.00Overall this tour was okay, but the snow experience add on was a waste of money. We were told to get off the cable car at the first stop and there would be a staff member to help us. This was not the case. We wandered aimlessly and eventually asked two different employees and neither knew about it. There weren’t even any signs to tell you where to go. I wish the guide had gone with us to show us where we were supposed to go. Having wasted almost an hour, we gave up and just went to the top of the mountain. The views were spectacular, but I wish I hadn’t spent an extra $60 for something I didn’t even get to experience. Also for the first stop in Lucerne, you only get about an hour which was hardly enough time to walk to the lion monument and back to the bus before it leaves. Other than these two disappointments, the rest of the tour was decent. The guide was friendly and spoke multiple languages including English.
Rip off..

1.00I cannot recommend this tour due to severe communication issues. Upon check-in, we were instructed to await a Mt. Titlus employee to escort us to the snow experience area, as per the brochure. However, no staff members were present upon our arrival, leaving us stranded. Despite the tour guide's directions, we were unable to locate the designated area, as the building was obscured by snow. Our attempts to seek assistance from mountain staff proved futile, resulting in wasted time and frustration. Despite my request for a partial refund for the snow experience, it was denied. This disappointing experience has deterred me from booking with Viator in the future. Despite its high cost, the tour failed to deliver, echoing similar sentiments expressed by other reviewers.

5.00It was a great experience! I would suggest to visit the top of mt. Titlis before going for the skiing because by the time we reached the cliff walk we saw nothing but fog. We should've went earlier. But overall it was a great and fun tour.
Ski experience sub par for us but the view is as magnificent!

4.00The drive and stop to Lucerne was beautiful. Our guide was kind. The stop by Queen Astrid of Belgium’s memorial site was unexpected and charming. Where we had challenges was checking in for the ski experience. The guide gave us a map and very clear instruction on where to go to begin our ski experience because he was staying with the Spanish-speakers. The remaining members of the group followed the instructions (on Jan. 1) and the office was locked. After asking in several locations to no avail, we wasted valuable time waiting for someone to return only to be told we needed to basically walk down, around and through a tunnel to the ski area on what was basically ice (global warming’s fault)…so two of us in our family bypassed the actual ski experience because skiing was on slush and for me it was just too dangerous to go down. For my husband, because apparently people who work the ski instruction didn’t show up for work, he ended up providing instruction for our group, along with our daughter, and others on the hill who had fallen. The view as the sun set was stunning, but as we tried to navigate the other 4 levels, the elevator was broken for levels 2-4. If you are considering the snow experience, only do it after checking that Mt. Titlis has enough snow on it and instructors. Don’t go on New Year’s Day or other high-traffic days! Otherwise it’s worth it.

4.00I booked this trip with my teenage son 16 years of age and we both really enjoyed the trip. Andy was a great host and full of interesting facts. Experienced and friendly driver. We had 2 stops on the way to Titlis and took some great photos. Lucerne is beautiful and we had some time to wonder around. It was great and enjoyable day. We were unlucky with the weather and couldn’t do snow experience or the cliff walk. Andy was super efficient and contacted booking agency and I had email about partial refund that same evening. Only thing I would maybe suggest is to get any paperwork done before guests board the bus, at ticket redemption point maybe? Also stickers to see who is going where, they just fell off jackets, it wasn’t a problem, just something small that can be improved. They could be waterproof or similar.
