Traveler reviews
Breathtaking scenery
Our Tour guide Lars was very well informed and kept the tour exciting by giving lots of information. Bus was comfortable. Our visit to Lucerne was brief but enough time to do a quick walk around old town and the beautiful bridge. Mount Titlis was spectacular, but a lot of construction. Sadly was a very cloudy day so the view was not as good. The drive through the valley was amazing. A point of note is that the drivers can emphasize that people refrain from being too loud or talking on their phones on speaker.
We were lucky to stop in...
We were lucky to stop in Lucerne on a day they had the farmers market all over old town. Not enough time in the city though. Mt. Titlis was great. Not sure why none of the bus tours have a functioning bathroom on the bus.
First time seeing snow
Wear warm clothes and proper shoes Take your camera equipment Have a big breakfast because you don’t get lunch until in the afternoon
Beautiful experience at Titlis
Excellent excursion. I thank Victor who was always attentive and on top of every detail. He made us live an incredible experience visiting Mount Titlis.
Skip Mt Titlis Not Woth The Money
Lucerne and countryside was beautiful from Zurich, a lovely drive in comfortable bus. I had asked for English tour guide but got one that spoke English and Spanish so had to listen to everything twice in different languages which was annoying. Mount Titlis was a waste of money and time as there was a lot of construction going on up the top of the mountain. No snow up there except a snow machine spitting out snow as you walk past. Rotating cable car is not operating so got herded into a large cable car on the last station going up. At least 40 people told to fill up the spaces in the car, so we were squeezed in, quite frightening. When you get to the top it’s just all bare rocks and a slippery path of ice to get to the other building. Suspension bridge only goes out over bare rocks nothing at all what we expected and paid good money for. Caught in peak hour traffic on the way back so didn’t bet back to Zurich till 7.30pm. Victoria the driver was amazing and did a really good job. Lucerne is definitely worth seeing but skip Mt Titlis unless it’s snowing..
