What a memorable experience this was. Having an intricately arranged itinerary was awesome and our guide leader was outstanding with her knowledge and care for everyone in our group. She definitely went above and beyond what all of our expectations were. Made some terrific new friends and saw and experienced adventures I had never thought of. Would definitely recommend to others and look forward to possible future adventures.

Amazing experience
What a great and memorable experience. Guide was helpful and kept everyone wrangled. For the cog train it’s hard to see anything unless you are first or last one into the row of seats. But the cable car was awesome. And the mountain was amazing. I would have loved to have a longer tour and do the toboggan or ropes course at the half way point. But overall it was amazing. Guide was very nice and helpful.

Tours of Switzerland could have done better
Coco was great. Taking a public bus home seemed cheap on the tour company’s part. Should have had a private van. Also, 20 people is not what I consider a small group. Glad I went but Tours of Switzerland could have done better.

The views were spectacular on the boat and at the top of the mountain. Our guide, Rosita, was knowledgeable and gave us lots of pointers. She gave us some history of the area and also gave us lots of time to explore on our own. She checked in often to make sure we were doing okay and to answer any questions. She also made sure we had good seats on the cogwheel and that we were able to sit on the boat.It was a very memorable day on Mt. Rigi. Highly recommend if you want to explore the mountain.

Beautiful day-trip on Lake Luzern and Mt. Rigi
We had an absolutely beautiful day on this simple self-guided tour on Lake Luzern. We took a morning boat (choose your departure time, hourly) from Luzern (right in front of the train station) to Vitznau, where there is an immediate transfer to the Rigi cog-wheel train that took us to the summit of Mt. Rigi. After taking in the incredible panoramic views of the valley and lake, we chose to hike down to Kaldbad (we took the longer, scenic route; the trails are well-marked) where we stopped for lunch at the restaurant next to the train stop. Friendly service, excellent food and drink, and a beautiful spot outside on the covered porch. We next spent a couple of hours at the bath spa, which is included in the package (you can bring your own swim suit and towel, or rent them for minimal charge). This is a newer facility, very clean, and so relaxing! Highly recommended!! From that same location, we took the cable car back down the mountain to the town of Weggis, where we met up with the next boat back to Luzern (it's a well-marked 10 minute walk from the base of the cable car to the boat station). During high season, expect the boats to fill up to capacity; if you want to be assured of a seat, arrive early before scheduled departure. This package included R/T boat ride, and unlimited use of multiple cog-wheel trains and cable cars on Mt. Rigi, so it's easy to make use of your day on the mountain as you like. All the instructions were clear in the details included with your electronic ticket.

The best tour of Mount Rigi
Wonderful tour during a spectacular day! The views are outstanding! Plenty of time to enjoy the summit. Never felt rushed! We had a great tour guide name Rosita! She was knowledgeable , polite and very caring and concerned about everyone’s welfare! Only negative was the over crowded boat returning to Lucerne but Rosita rounded us all up and got a table in the lounge so we could relax on the way back to town! Go for it!
