Switzerland · LUCERNE TOURS
Three big mountains rise straight off this lake — Pilatus, Rigi and Titlis — and the paddle steamers reach the foot of all of them. These 15 Lucerne days are priced and paced, including which still run when the cogwheel line closes for snow.
From Zurich: Titlis glacier caves and Ice Flyer, Rotair cable car, Cliff Walk, plus guided Lucerne on an all-day tour.
“Our tour guide was amazing! And the sights were incredible!!!”
Cable car to Mt. Pilatus, easy alpine hike, steep cogwheel descent, and a Lucerne lake cruise in one 5.5-hour guided day.
“The tour guide was great. even though we had a lot of clouds and couldn't see much the trip was still fun. the combo of bus, lift, train and boat was lovely. We had around 1hr 45 min at the top to do whatever we wanted and we didn't feel rushed at any point. We would do this trip again in the future hoping for no clouds.”
Mount Pilatus from Lucerne with Dragon Ride gondola, the steepest cogwheel train down, and a Lake Lucerne boat cruise (seasonal), English guide.
“Wonderful excursion! Comfortable, safe environment. Knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Not too long and not too short.”
A 1-hour round-trip catamaran on Lake Lucerne from Brücke 3, with views of Pilatus, Rigi, and Bürgenstock, plus snacks onboard.
“The catamaran cruise on Lake Lucerne was the perfect way to unwind and take in the breathtaking views of Mount Pilatus and Rigi. So peaceful and a must do in Lucerne!”
Half-day Titlis from Lucerne with the Ice Flyer chairlift, glacier cave and suspension bridge, plus snow tubing when conditions allow.
“This was perhaps one of the best experiences of my life. Amazing tour!! The guides were excellent and answered all of my questions about Switzerland and explained everything we needed to know very clearly! They were also very friendly! The views from the top of Titlis are incredible- a must do if you love nature and are in Lucerne. Also, this tour gives you access to basically all the activities you would want to do on the mountain as a non-skier. Fantastic tour!!!”
Ride the rails to Jungfraujoch from Lucerne for panoramic alpine views, the Ice Palace, and the Sphinx Observatory, with guided transport.
“Stunning scenery from the moment we left Lucerne until we reached the summit of Jungfrau, and then again all the way back. Our guide, Kid, was magnificent. He guided us through the various buses, trains, cog wheels, the site itself, and everything in between. He made sure we were aware of all of the picturesque locations and even took many pictures for us and of us. He did all this while being amazingly funny and energetic for the entire 8-9 hours. I cannot imaging being able to pull this off as successfully without his guidance. He is THE BEST.”
Panoramic gondola and Dragon Ride from Kriens to Mt. Pilatus at 2132m, with Lake Lucerne and Alpine views.
“Not exactly cheap, but fantastically well worth it. On departure it was low cloud, and we wondered whether we were actually going to see anything at all. But as we climbed, it was like a visual orchestra of snow and mist, the sun slowly giving an ethereal glow through cloud - and then gradually emerging through this stunning winter wonderland into the brilliance of breathtaking mountain scenery!”
Half-day coach trip from Lucerne to Mt Titlis: Rotair cable car, Glacier Cave, Cliff Walk, and snow fun, with summit time.
“The ski experience is very elementary but fun nonetheless. We still had time to do the cliff walk and glacier cave as well. Bjorn was an awesome guide. Incredible views and the bridge isn’t as scary as it looks! It’s amazing!”
Lucerne day trip to Jungfraujoch with gondola, cogwheel train, Sphinx views of the Aletsch Glacier, and Ice Palace tunnels.
“Great day where you get to see many parts of Switzerland. They take you through Interlaken where you have an hour to walk around and explore. You get to pass through different towns on the way back from the Top of Europe. Absolutely beautiful day and I felt like we got a good amount of time to explore a few locations on our own. Train timings were perfect and would’ve been very difficult without a guide. Highly recommended.”
Private Lucerne walking tour with local guide Livio. Chapel Bridge, Lake views, Lion Monument, best photo stops in 2 hours for $39.
“Tour was well paced and Livio provided great information about the city and sites.”
Small-group Lucerne walking tour with optional 1-hour Lake Lucerne cruise. Chapel Bridge, towers, fortifications, and Swiss stories.
“Luis is a lovely, energetic, passionate tour guide who knows so many people and random tidbits about Lucerne that make the tour come alive with a personal feeling. He was ready with pictures of historical references to places we visited, and we left knowing so much more about Lucerne than we would have with a self-guided tour. I do wish the Viator tour description had been a little more specific, as I would have booked and planned differently. I booked the tour+cheese/wine+boat option, which turned out to be 2 hours of a walking tour around Old Town Lucerne ending in a cheese and wine tasting at Opus, a local restaurant.…”
Boat, cog railway, and cable car from Lucerne to Mount Rigi, with flexible timing and panoramic views. Half or full day.
“As described, with sample itineraries and accurate timetables - but double check website for changes. no need to worry about buying which tickets. this has you covered.”
A 1.5-hour Lucerne walking tour with an official guide, highlighting Chapel Bridge, old town squares, and the city’s wall system.
“Brilliant - Marion was a fabulous tour guide with wonderful knowledge of Lucerne and her country and a great sense of humour. Worth every cent or should I say ‘Swiss Franc’ Thank you so much Anna (Australia)”
Cable car and glacier day in Engelberg to Titlis, with Ice Flyer chairlift, Cliff Walk suspension bridge, and Glacier Cave.
“We loved our excursion up the mountain and felt good about the value of what we paid vs what we did that day. You can spend hours at the top of the mountain! We didn't enjoy the number of people but at the midpart of the mountain it was much less crowded. The food was also delicious and the beer was cold. A big rain storm came in and they were having a wedding but the staff did a great job accommodating everyone who was all of a sudden looking for food and drinks - including the wedding guests.”
Private Lucerne highlights by eco eTukTuk, with a local guide and photo stops at KKL, Chapel Bridge, and Lion Monument, in comfort.
