We had an amazing day trip from Basal before our Rhine River cruise. This was the perfect choice for our family. The transportation was fantastic and seamless the whole day. We all loved the boat around the beautiful lake. The Cogtrain and Gondola rides were a great experience for our family. Lucerne and Mount Pilatus are beautiful and we were so grateful we chose to experience this tour. Our guide (whose name I won’t attempt to spell) was Amazing! He shared all kinds of facts and history about Switzerland which our 12 year old really enjoyed. Perfect tour if you want to experience more of Switzerland.

The dragon walk was astounding. If you only have one full day in Switzerland, this is a must see tour to experience the Alps.

This would have been 5 stars if weather was better. No view from Mr. Pilates this day. Our guide, Roman, was absolutely terrific.

Roman our guide was terrific! He was very knowledgeable and very easy to be with. We thought our excursion was one of the highlights of a week long cruise.

This was a full day adventure with our local guide, Mr. Abraham. He picked us up at our hotel, guided us to the train station where we travelled from Basel to Lucerne, took us to the top of Pilatus by cable car and a short hike, showed us around Lucerne and got us back to the train station to finish the day. Mr. Abraham provided a lot of historical information about Switzerland, Lucerne and Pilatus, as well as shared his personal experiences of hiking Pilatus. He is 75 years young, and still hikes the peak periodically. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day in Switzerland mostly due to Mr. Abraham's attention to detail. It was well worth the expense to have a private, personal guide for this tour.

Adrian provided a white glove experience! We especially loved the lake cruise and learning the history of Lucerne.

Adrian was our personal guide and he did a fantastic job in taking care of us. He made sure we had the best experience. He did a lot of planning to make sure we had low wait times for traveling and the traveling modes were fun and unique !! He was accommodating in every way. He is a very good historian and we had a perfect day. Thank you Adrian !!

This was an excellent tour. It included several kinds of transportation - train, ship, cog railway, gondola from the top of Mt. Pilatus, and bus. Our guide Adrian was great and extremely helpful. The views from the top of Mt. Pilatus were amazing and riding in the oldest/longest cog railway in the world was very interesting. The tour includes a lot of venues in a single day but got us back in Basel for dinner.

What a great way to spend a day, and with a great guide - Oskar. It starts with a nice train ride from Basel to Lucerne when Oskar gave us lots of information about Switzerland, it's history etc. We then had two gondola rides to get to the top of Pilatus: the first was a small four person gondola, and then the second was a 50 passenger gondola! When then enjoyed the sites from the top of the mountain and a light lunch. Then it was down the mountain on the cogwheel train - what a thrill - before our one hour boat ride on the lake. after a brief walk around Lucerne, we then headed back to Basel. I highly recommend this trip if you are spending a day in Basel.
