    Our guide, Rita, was so informative. And interesting! The gondolas, cable car, cogwheel train and boat ride on Lake Lucerne were highlights of our trip. You cannot capture the beauty in pictures. It was stunning! Highly recommend this tour.

  2. Richard_M

    Nice mix of gondola ride to mountain, panoramic view from the mountain, cogwheel ride and Lake Lucerne boat ride. Well organized by our attentive guide Robert. Made for a beautiful afternoon.

  4. Thirumal_T

    With the weather it is always a touch and go, whether one will get to see Mount Pilatus or not.
    Our guide was very knowledgeable and made every effort to keep us on top/track of the tour

    Rolf was an amazing tour guide. Everything went great! He was there to answer any questions we had. We took our son in Aug and did same trip with sister in law yesterday.

    The tour was wonderful. The trip up Mt Pilatus was scenic and fun. We spent 2 hours on the mountain and the trip down was equally scenic.
    The boat tour was also lovely. Highly recommend!

  9. Liz_G

    Even in a steady drizzle the trip to Mt Pilatus was a great adventure. Four modes of transportation : cable car, gondola, cogwheel railroad and boat! My highlight was the Dragon Tunnel at the top. The entire experience was an engineering feat. Amazing views despite the clouds.

  10. GaryNishikawa

    Great views from the top. The ride up by cable car and gondola and the ride down by train were spectacular. The boat back to Lucerne was relaxing.

  11. Kip_R

    The only reason I’m rating this 4 stars is because our personal experience was on a rainy day (we only had one day in Luzern) and we really couldn’t see anything at the top. That said, it’s worth a roll of the dice because the experience going up and down is really cool! Also, the boat ride afterward made up for everything. Our guide, Monica, was great! Recommend doing this if you’re in Lucern.

  12. Wendy_D

    A fantastic experience! Unfortunately, the weather was super cloudy for the first half of our trip so the visibility was really poor. Luckily the clouds moved away and we had the most spectacular views from the top of Pilatus! If the weather had not cleared up, it would have been a big disappointment. Our guide was friendly and informative.

    Awesome experience that far exceeded our expectations and tour guide Lars was phenomenal. Good for someone 8 to 80.

  14. Lorraine_P

    Well worth the time and money. A once in a lifetime experience. The trip was just as advertised by Viator, the tickets came promptly after payment.

    On-time at meeting point, nice ride to mountain, Gondola ride up is the best, and the cog-wheel train ride down was cool. The best sights of the region for the peak. Would go again
