Traveler reviews
Great fun!
We had a really good time. The views from the top of the mountain was spectacular and the lake boat trip finished up the trip nicely.
Amazing experience
Booking with Viator is easy and the trip was very well organised. Our guide, Dave, looked after us well. I don't like heights but i was willing to give this a go and so pleased I did. The views were amazing.
Definitely recommend this tour
Meeting place instructions were clear. Our guide Robert was very good at ensuring he had everyone at each step of the tour and explained things very clearly. Mount Pilatus was gorgeous as was the cog funicular ride . Would have absolutely no hesitation recommending this tour Note we’re in our 60s and our tour guide was at least in his 70s . He moved briskly and kept things at a good pace
We loved the Mt Pilatus trip!
Definitely one of the highlights of our Europe trip. It was well organized, we didn’t have problems and our guide Vladimir was very knowledgeable helpful and kind. The boat ride at the end was great!
Fun
Great experience, great tour guide (Olga). The views were amazing. The tour included bus, cable car, cog train and boat - great experience.
