Really good tour, enjoyable. Had beautiful weather and the cable car ride was fantastic
-
Not much to enjoy at top of the glacier, but cable car journey to the glacier is fantastic. If you are asian you may not like the taste of complimentory lunch. If you want to select between mt pilatus and mt titlis, i suggest to opt for mount titlis which have many places to enjoy including sledging
-
The tour was great and almost worth the cost. I got free upgrade to Mt Titalus tour as I was the only one who booked this. The tour guide was amazingly polite and knew a lot. The tour begins at Zurich so you get snip it's of things along your journey. The drive by itself is amazing and beautiful.

Excellent tour guide....
-
Lucern is beautiful and fun to wonder around. Mt. Pilatus was beautiful!
-
The tour was everything that we wanted in a day trip - prompt departure, clean coach, knowledgeable guide. Our only suggestion would be to allow more time in Lucerne.
-
This tour is amazing the view from the top is unique. The only thing missing was on the lift. During our time there the aerial cableway was closed but the cogwheel railway is not bad! The meal included is not really good, the drinks are not included! But just the experience at the top and the small tour to Luzerne really worths it!!!

The tour was very scenic, and our guide very knowledgeable. The majority of our group was touring Lucerne and Titlis. Did not realize till boarding my family was going to be dropped off at Mtn Pilatus mid tour. So we were given tickets for gondola, lunch, and bus pass to get back to Lucerne on our own and meet the group. It all went well, but if I were traveling by myself or with one other person may have been more anxious. Overall the tour was very beautiful.

A perfectly organized day that exceeded our expectations.
