The Alps tour of the ice cave .

That this tour was one of the highlights of our trip, thanks to the wonderful guide Gabriel, (not sure on the spelling of his name) he was very considerate, kind and compassionate about his job. His sense of humor and knowledge went above and beyond just a job for him.

Lucerne/Titlis tour

Good trip overall even with the delays leaving and getting back. Wish the tour company would purchase the tickets before we arrive at Titlus. This would save about 45 minutes of sitting around waiting for the guide to buy tickets.

If you are afraid of...

If you are afraid of heights it isn’t the trip for you. Also motion sickness medicine helps with altitude sickness.

Lucerne is beautiful!...

Lucerne is beautiful! Surrounded by water with beautiful bridges, buildings and an amazingly gorgeous cathedral. Very walkable area! Plenty of time to explore. The cable ride up Mount Titlis is breathtaking. It was foggy at the top so we could not see out which was unfortunate but still overall awesome for the experience. Highly recommend!

Ruined my trip!

Poor communication from tour operator made me miss the tour. I asked the other operators in the terminal and said they don’t have physical office so I have to ask around. And I ended up asking most buses there and missing them. That’s when I tried to call them but can’t connect. Then I sent them messages and they replied 11 mins past the scheduled departure.
