Traveler reviews
Not quite what we expected
We recently went on the 3 day multi tour organised by Best of Switzerland. ex Zurich. At the end of each day we were dropped off at a bus stop and were required to walk back to our ‘convenly located’ Lucerne hotel organised by Best of Switzerland. The hotel was 13-15 min walk so not at all convenient especially when lugging large suitcases on day 1 and then again on day 3 after checking out of the hotel. Luckily we are quite fit and it didn’t rain but still not ideal and want to bring to the attention of other travellers. The tour operator suggested if too difficult we should arrange a taxi. Very dissatisfying. Pointing out also that each day you are on a different bus, different guide and guests so this is not your typical multi day tour. You also have a couple of drop off / pick up’s along the way. Having said that the daily tours were very good but want to point out above as the tour description doesn’t go into this detail.
Definitely the highlight of my zurich...
<p>Definitely the highlight of my zurich trip. Worth every cent.</p>
Absolutely wonderful! We weren't...
<p>Absolutely wonderful! We weren't sure what to expect from this tour, but it was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every element of the two day tour. Our night's stay on Mount Pilatus was magnificent - the views spectacular, the setting perfect. The included dinner and breakfast were excellent, and the ambience and service exceptional. Our experience was fabulous and definitely 5 star.</p>
I would not recommend this tour...
<p>I would not recommend this tour. The morning was spend driving through the countryside dropping off other travellers at the various mountains for their excursions. When we headed up Mt Pilatus I was on my own. The stay at Mt Pilatus was amazing and definitely worth it! The train ticket from the base of Mt Pilatus to Lucerne was supposed to be included. It wasn't and I was advised by the tour guide that it is easy to purchase once you come down the mountain. The train station is right at the base of the mountain however the line up was so long to purchase tickets that I almost missed the train back to Lucerne. I would have been better off to book the trip up Pilatus myself as I would have been able to spend more time enjoying Mt Pilatus and it's numerous hiking trails</p>
Absolutely amazing, view...
<p>Absolutely amazing, view spectacular, cog train and cable cars gave a wonderful view, time spent at Titlis was unbelievable, 360 degree chair lift to top, toboggan ride great, walks etc. well worth the value</p>
