4.00The trip gathered people for Lucerne with different destinations. It started on time, a merit of Swiss, and the double deck coach had comfortable seats. Thanks to the guides and papers, we followed our itinerary well. The highlight was the ferry ride with a picturous scene and the breathtaking view at the Burgenstock resort after the funicular ride. Recommended....

1.00I would not recommend this tour. Take the train into Lucerne. All they do is drop you off and your on your own.

5.00We had the most enjoyable time on the Best of Switzerland tour! A huge thank you to the team for making it such a memorable experience for us. Special appreciation to Verona—she was absolutely the best! Her knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm truly made the trip exceptional. We will cherish these wonderful memories forever. Highly recommend

1.00It did not inform that I would be completely only on this tour without a guide, and I had to wait for the guide to finish the Tour that he had to Mount Pick 3 to 4 hrs, not a good experience. I would not recommend this tour.
Explore on your own!

5.00Nice clean bus transportation to Lucerne, where you have ample hours to explore on your own. You are given a ferry/clog wheel funicular train voucher, to take to the pier 1, and exchange for a ticket. The ferry boat that has restrooms, leaves from Pier 3, and takes you to and from Burgenstock. You are given a map and a few instructions when dropped off in Lucerne. We were given 6 1/2 hours of free time to explore the city, which is plenty of time, if you pre-map out a plan, ahead of time. Recommend you take the Tram early, to checkin at the bus station for your ferry voucher, and to use the free restrooms there.
Tour could have more things to do at both cities

3.00Guide was ok, rather quiet. Left us at the cities for us to explore on our own, a lot of down time and things to figure out on our own. Would have preferred someone that brought us around and conduct a tour instead of "transportation to the sites". Beautiful spots by the way.
