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. We spent most of the visit waiting in lines and we unable to do any of the paid excursion. The site was so packed it was impossible. Generally most tours I've done you…”

“Honestly, Bernadette is one of the best guides I have ever seen. She is just lovely and nice. She explained us from history of the sights to modern facts about Switzerland. Also she translated everything into Spanish and I found it very nice for people who were not speaking englisg. The waterfall is breathtaking. You cannot imagine from pictures the feeling you get there. The medieval city worth it. Also Bernadette explained different frescoes on the walls and showed us details we wouldn’t observed without her.Read more”

“Great tour and value for the price! The tour guide and driver, Raymond and Drago (sp?) were fantastic, and all the stops along the way were great! Heidiland briefly reopened for the holidays, so we ended up visiting after all! I didn’t pay to enter the houses, but enjoyed walking the grounds and enjoying the spline scenery. Vaduz and Rapperswil were also lovely, with those stops were 1-1.5 hours for free time. Lunch is recommended for Rapperswil, but you can choose to eat later in Vaduz if you prefer - just decide based on when you’re hungry!”
