Meet your driver-guide in Zurich and settle into the coach as you begin your journey to Lucerne. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through the Swiss countryside as you leave the city behind and make your way towards the charming lakeside city of Lucerne.
After approximately one hour, arrive in Lucerne and enjoy two hours of free time to explore its charming Old Town. Wander through the historic streets, admire the colourful buildings, and take a relaxing stroll along the beautiful lakeside.
During your free time, stroll across Lucerne’s iconic Chapel Bridge, one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Admire its distinctive wooden structure and historic paintings beneath the roof, while enjoying beautiful views of the Reuss River.
Your driver-guide will take you to Kriens, the starting point of your adventure into the legendary Dragon World. From here, soar towards Mount Pilatus aboard the Panorama Gondola before continuing on the famous Dragon Ride—a thrilling journey through the sky, surrounded by breathtaking Alpine scenery.
After your Dragon Ride, designed to create the sensation of flying, arrive at Pilatus Kulm at 2,132 metres above sea level. Surrounded by dramatic Alpine scenery, discover the legends and mysteries that have made Mount Pilatus one of Switzerland’s most fascinating mountains. Take time at the summit to enjoy the scenery and experience the magic of this legendary mountain. With your camera filled with unforgettable photos, descend by cable car back to Kriens, where your driver-guide will be waiting for you for the return journey.
After a day filled with mountain scenery, legendary stories, and unforgettable Swiss landscapes, relax on the return journey to Zurich and enjoy the final views along the way, taking with you memories to cherish.
The local tour operator kind of messed up our schedule by rescheduling our tour for the day after. Luckily, we were available that day. For this reason, I can give this tour a maximum of only 3 stars (average). We enjoyed the tour anyway but it would have been better if they followed the original schedule.
The mountain experience was 5 stars. Many fun ways to enjoy the mountain for all ages. The views were spectacular! Many different opportunities to view the mountain views from different perspectives. The tour “guide” was not much more than a driver. Very little information was given in a very unorganized way. His directions on how to get to the top of the mountain was inaccurate, we had to figure it out for ourselves. As far as Lucern was concerned, we were dropped off about a 10-15 minute walk to old town with quick, vague directions given. This reduced the time in old town Lucern by 20-30 minutes. The company should be able to figure out a more convenient option.
All was good, drive Gabriel was great, only issue is "glass top bus" is just a shuttle bus, no glass top.
This was a great way to see two great places in one trip while based in Zurich. It was largely an independent tour with lots of helpful hints from the guide. Lucerne is lovely and Mt. Pilatus is spectacular. The cable car (which is in two sections) is an amazing almost hour long ride up the mountain. And because Zurich is an hour away, this was an affordable way to plan a day trip without the hassle of getting yourself there.
What a great day trip, beautiful
Would recommend the tobaggon ride on Mt Pilatus. And don't miss the Lion monument in Lucerne. Didn't have enough time to walk around the old town.
Beautiful views, friendly staff. If you want the full experience be sure wear comfortable flat shoes. Check the weather and maybe bring sun screen. Be careful the cog train and boat do not run all year. While booking I saw that lunch would be provided instead to compensate for the winter closures. Well, it wasn’t and I could not find my proof. Make copies of everything. Driver was AMAZING!!!
Great tour. Buses we're on time. Drivers were very pleasant and informative. Plenty of time given in both locations to walk around and see the sights. Thank you!
For a small group experience, I was a little surprised that there wasn't more interaction between the guide and the guest. Janis was very nice, but didn't shepherd us to the sites in Lucern as I would expect with a group this size. One couple was actually late coming back to the bus in Lucerne because they got lost on the way back from the Lion memorial. Everything else was pretty lovely until the bus ride back. Janis had announced in the morning that the bus' air conditioning wasn't working, but there was a "super cold" alternative that he didn't want to activate until the ride home because, once started, it couldn't be turned off? Well, on the ride back, the regular (broken) a.c. was running full force. Approximately 30 minutes into the ride, the bus was still 80.4° F, according to the sensor on my phone. Everyone was miserable, so I asked about this "super cold" option mentioned previously. Janis said it "would take 5 minutes to set up", but never stopped to do so. For the entire ride, the inside of the bus never dropped below 78° F. Everyone climbed off of the bus exhausted and over heated. Why take a bus out if it isn't safe for your customers? Someone could have had a medical incident!
Our guide Angel was very informative, engaging and helpful. He made sure to inform us of our schedule and drop a location map so we would not miss anything when we were out exploring. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting.
