Good enough in many aspects

The trip gathered people for Lucerne with different destinations. It started on time, a merit of Swiss, and the double deck coach had comfortable seats. Thanks to the guides and papers, we followed our itinerary well. The highlight was the ferry ride with a picturous scene and the breathtaking view at the Burgenstock resort after the funicular ride. Recommended....

Disappointed

I would not recommend this tour. Take the train into Lucerne. All they do is drop you off and your on your own.

Memorable experience

We had the most enjoyable time on the Best of Switzerland tour! A huge thank you to the team for making it such a memorable experience for us. Special appreciation to Verona—she was absolutely the best! Her knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm truly made the trip exceptional. We will cherish these wonderful memories forever. Highly recommend
