Guided day trip from Zurich to Mt Titlis and Lucerne Old Town, with the Rotair cable car, glacier cave, Cliff Walk, and winter snow options.

“I believe this tour would have been great any other time of the year outside of Christmas week. It did start out promptly and our visit to Lucerne was very nice. It was a quick and easy walk through the old city. With that being said, the trip to Titlis was great but cost of the trip anticipated enough time to see the ice caverns, ride the chair lift, walk the suspension bridge and also snow tube.

He made sure we (tourists from different countries/ speak different languages) moved in the same phase, travelled on the same carriage (or at least carriage next) and knew all short cut ways to reduce the waiting time.
