Switzerland · MOUNT RIGI, QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAINS
11 reviewed
Rigi is the gentle giant of Central Switzerland: a broad green summit reached by lake steamer and Europe’s oldest cogwheel railway, with the whole Alpine chain spread out in front of you. These are the trips to book — which include the cruise, which the cable car, and which suit a slower, less vertiginous day.

“Mt. Riggi and Mt Pilatus are very beautiful. You can see Snow mountain right in front of you. The places took you away from urban city hectic to a panoramic, calming, soothing experience. Our tour driver is Mrs Ana (63 year old lady) who do part time job there. She was very informative from the 1st minute we ride into the car. She explains to us about all the history of each places we passed through. The end of the tour she drove everyone to their hotel which are not part of the excursion without complain and we are the last couple in the car. She is very nice tour…”

A private Lucerne experience with Burgenstock cliff views, factory tastings, and Alpine panoramas at Seebodenalp, timed to your pace.
“Chris did a great job offering to make adjustments to our tour. It was raining when he arrived and offered to move the tour to the following day. We were not able to do this so we made the best of a rainy day and we loved the cooler weather and the rain! We chose to visit the glass factory which was a bit boring. The chocolate tour likely would have been more fun. We saw some beautiful places around Lucerne and it was important to Chris that we had lunch at a great place! All in all, it was a tremendous and I would highly recommend to all!”
