Traveler reviews
Mt. Rigi
Organized, informative and friendly tour guide. Mountains beautiful but sad to see mineral springs having to be regulated. Would recommend.
Overpriced
Overpriced. If you stay close to the train station. The hotel personnel can book the same experience 35% cheaper.
Views are spectacular!
We took a boat cruise, cogwheel train, and aerial cable car ride to Mount Rigi, it was spectacular! Our guide was super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Lots of walking for some people, but we loved it!
A lovely day on Mount Rigi
Our tour guide Robert was great, guiding us through a lovely ferry ride to a charming cog wheel train ride to the top of the mountain where we experienced amazing views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding countryside. Robert offered several options for activities, lunch and the return down. We chose to hike down, not a difficult hike. Pro tip, choose the path to Hotel Edelweiss Rigi and have lunch there, you’ll be glad you did. After lunch, we continued the hike to Kaltbad where we caught the cable car to Weggis, followed by a short ferry ride back to Lucerne. A lovely day!
Amazing time, Daniel was...
Amazing time, Daniel was a great tour guide. We saw a lot of Switzerland landscape. The boat, train & gondala a lot of fun.
