Two of the group did the hike down to the cable car and found the path was well marked and easy to walk on. The other three had refreshments at the hotel which we enjoyed, then took the train down to the cable car station. We liked the flexibility to customise what everyone did while still traveling as a group.”

Review of the Mt Rigi and Lucerne day trip from Zurich, with cable car, cogwheel train, Lake Lucerne boat ride, free time, and practical tips.

“Minus the weather it was a good time;however, I do think tickets for Sunday should be at a discounted price. Nearly all the stores are closed on Sunday so we didn’t do much except walk around. It’s really nice if you have kids or want to do your own thing because there’s no guide. I’d do this again but not on a Sunday!”

A private Lake Lucerne tour with Burgenstock views, Lucerne sights, chocolate, Victorinox, Seebodenalp, and glassmaking.

“Chris did a great job offering to make adjustments to our tour. It was raining when he arrived and offered to move the tour to the following day. We were not able to do this so we made the best of a rainy day and we loved the cooler weather and the rain! We chose to visit the glass factory which was a bit boring. The chocolate tour likely would have been more fun. We saw some beautiful places around Lucerne and it was important to Chris that we had lunch at a great place! All in all, it was a tremendous and I would highly recommend to all!”

“Our guide, Gabby, was fantastic. We met her at the specified location and proceeded to have a memorable day despite the weather not being ideal. The top of the mountain was in clouds so we were unable to see the views. We did have clear weather from Weggis part way down the mountain that were spectacular. Gabby was very knowledgeable and full of information. She really made the day fun. Maybe you could organize the trip directly with the different transportation systems but if you're not familiar with the area this is the way to go. Having someone that could share historical and cultural information on generally everything made for…”
