In spite of no visibility, rain and snow atop Pilatus, the trip to Pilatus was great because of our Guide, Faisel...

Our day was fantastic from beginning to end. Our guide, Vasel (sp?) was just delightful. He had everything under control, we just followed his lead. He was knowledgeable on many subjects that we were interested in. It was our first time to Basel and Lucerne was at the top of our list for a day trip. We all agreed that we will be back!!!

Our guide, Mike, couldn’t have been any better. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. I’d give him 10 stars if I could! The city of Luzern is beautiful. Like walking into a fairytale land. I could imagine Heidi calling “Grandfather, Grandfather”. The waters of the Rhone River and Lake Luzern were crystal clear and beautiful. The ride up the 48 degree cog railway to the top of Mount Pilatus was a nice experience. Unfortunately it was an overcast day so our view from the mountain wasn’t fantastic, but we did get wonderful views from the cable car. Do expect a lot of walking and a long day but it was well worth it. A thoroughly enjoyable experience

Our guide, Ueli, was exceptional. We had a rainy day and could not see anything from Mt. Pilatus, so we did not stay on the mountain very long. He offered a personal tour of Lucerne with the extra time. Ueli is very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and made what could have been a day spoiled by rain into a great tour.
