Itinerary
Pass by: Board your coach in central Lucerne and travel south to Engelberg, a glorious alpine village tucked in the shadows of Mt Titlis.
Upon arrival, hop aboard the aerial cableway with your guide, and then ride to the glacier’s summit — some 10,000 feet (3,020 meters) above sea level. Take a ride with the revolving cable car "Rotair" and enjoy the spectacular sights of the glacier's deep crevasses and gigantic ice boulders.
Visit the Glacier Cave and pass over Europe's highest suspension bridge - the Cliff Walk! Take a ride with the Ice Flyer which brings you close to the crevasses and the Glacier Park where you can experience snow tubing even in summer! Enjoy magnificent views of the Alps from the restaurants or the sun terrace.
Pass by: After an afternoon full of new experiences the tour ends again in Lucerne, where you have started your tour.

Weather can affect what...
Weather can affect what you are able to do and see. Our guide Matt was very professional and helpful. The female guide got upset over the tickets thur her clip board down and very upsetting She talked loudly and often!!!
Mt titlis is very nice
Great experience, however the upstairs of the bus was ridiculously hot, the air conditioning was non existent on a 34 degree day.
Unwelcoming Attitude
I would have rated this experience 5 stars based on the excellent guides in particular Bernie who was extremely kind and overall logistics. Unfortunately, my experience was significantly affected by interactions first with the driver, Ameen, who refused to help and was totally dismissive. The horrible and daunting experience continued later by the behavior of a bartender on Cruise No. 66 arriving in Lucerne at approximately 5:30 PM. There were two service staff members at the bar of cruise 66 and one gentleman’s behavior stood out in a very negative way. His tone and manner were intimidating and dismissive, and I felt that he treated people differently based on their appearance and skin color. The interaction left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. This was especially disappointing because Switzerland is generally known for being welcoming and respectful to visitors. I strongly encourage the tour operator and partners involved to review this incident seriously to avoid legal issues in the future and also evaluate whether this gentlemen deserves such a customer facing position and or additional staff training or action is needed to prevent similar experiences in the future. I am extremely disappointed by this experience and believe concerns around discriminatory treatment should be addressed promptly and appropriately.
Great trip, great guide-a must do experience
What a great experience. Jean was an awesome tour guide who shared history of the region (loved the cow bell story) and kept us organized. The views at the top and the glacial cave was amazing-not to mention and chance to play on the snow.
