Great day trip from Zurich

This Mount Titlis and Lucerne day trip from Zurich was an amazing way to experience Switzerland in one day. We started with a scenic stop in Lucerne, with time to explore the charming old town, before continuing to Engelberg. The rotating cable car ride to Mount Titlis offered incredible panoramic views, and the Ice Flyer chairlift over the glacier was a standout experience. Crossing Europe’s highest suspension bridge was thrilling, and the snow tubing added a fun, memorable touch. Our tour guide, Thanasis, was great — knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us additional Recommendations for our stay in Zurich. 10/10 tour and highly recommend!

Not worth the money

Don't waste your money or time by booking this tour. There is no tour or any information given. You are shuttled to Lucerne and given a pick up time. You see the city on your own with no help. Then you are shuttled to Mt. Titlus where again you are given zero information. You should book a train, bus or taxi and save your money. Our driver John talked on the phone for multiple hours instead of talking to us. He also added stops to pick up other people and drop them off extending the drive time and shortening our time to visit attractions. Bc of this we missed the lion statue and rushed the Mt. Very disappointing. This "tour" is expensive but you only get the transport and Mt. Titlus ticket. Totally not worth it.

Well happy

Look, ultimately these guys are chauffeuring you about and arranging a ticket up the mountain. But they facilitated an absolutely magical day for us and made the various steps very clear. It helped take the stress out of the day. We really cannot recommend this tour enough. My face is hurting from laughing. Plus we were treated to a bizarre but lovely musical treat on our way home. Mount Titlis was magnificent, we got the gold ice flyer option, and didn’t regret it but our favourite part aside from the truly breathtaking views was the mini tabbogans (in place of snowtubing) absolutely brilliant fun! Although hubby lamented not having the rubber rings. We found the ice cave pretty underwhelming to be honest. Just a tip, if you’re on limited funds, take a packed lunch, the food is eyewateringly expensive!

Family Experience

The driver dropped you off 10 minutes away from the city center in an industrial area in Lucerne. 😡 Then when we arrived at the mountain the activity we paid for was closed. On the bus the bathroom was broken . So I wouldn’t recommend this trip

The excursion was lovely,...

The excursion was lovely, but negatively impacted by the weather (several things closed at the top of Mt Titlas because of the wind). The time in Lucerne was great - the driver gave us a quick orientation for where things were then set us free to explore. The drive between Lucern and Mt Titlas was especially beautiful. The things we could do at the mountain were great. The gondola rides were beautiful, the ice cavern was fun and we had a lovely meal at the restaurant. I would definitely consider this excursion again, although would probably wait to the last minute to book until I have a better idea of the weather.
