Traveler reviews
Travel to the top
Breathtaking scenery beautiful drive. Long day, but well worth it. Highly recommended to do when in Zurich. Unfortunately our tour guide talked constantly and of course in two languages. The microphone was turned up way too loud. It was just nonstop chatter for the entire drive going there. It gave everybody a headache very nice lady, but she talked too much and was too loud.
Recommend!
Our trip started in Lauterbrunnen, and it was so beautiful we walked around and passed shops, we went into some chocolate shops and it was amazing! Afterwards we headed to Mt.Titlis where we enjoyed the gondolas, the ice flyer thankfully it was clear sunny skies! And the cliff walk! It was all so surreal, seeing the mountains from way up there! The guide was super informative and I loved the fun facts he gave too! Just be prepared to wait a long line for the rotating air lift coming and going!
Been to titlist at least
Marianne or marienne the guide is arrogant, shouts at the tourists. Food and drinks not allowed in the bus. It is because they sell water. Almost zero visibility, foggy at the very top so nothing to see if one rides the ice flyer. Glacier cave is closed also. Nice view though at trubsee.
A great day and plenty of things to see
I was a little hesitant for this tour because of the 10 hour time frame but it turned out perfect. The meeting area is very close to the train station but keep in mind, you can't bring coffee on the bus. (Learned this the hard way...) Alexander our guide was great at describing things along the way to our first stop and the view is incredible. We arrived in Lucerne and were given about 2 hours to walk around which was plenty of time. After that we headed to Mt Titlis and had about 3 hours to see everything. You take a series of cable cars up to the top and have a few things to do and see while up there. If you are there during the summer, you will still probably see snow but you won't need winter clothes. Give yourself extra time to do the zipline and/or rowing in the small lake. You then finish up the day with a nice ride back to the bus station. They do pretty well on time getting you back at 7pm but the traffic might slow you down a little bit. Such a great tour and definitely worth the money! (The worst part of it is just a little bit of a tight fit on the bus, especially if you are tall or big).
It was an amazing...
