The views were amazing, and the weather couldn't have been better for us. One thing I might consider is looking into purchasing tickets up and down the mountain by yourself as it was really quite simple, and while the guide was friendly and assisted in recommending times for our entire group, the tour was mostly on your own and experiencing what you wanted at your own pace.

The trip and the views are breathtaking. Fantastic.

The trip was excellent! And Lucerne, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. We loved the cable car and cog wheel train drive.

Terrific little half day trip if the weather is good. Constant change of travel method--cable car, rack railway, boat--makes for a nice excursion. The boat ride is a bit long, 90 minutes, but we had nice weather, and there is a bar on board. The scenery is magnificent; not sure how I'd feel on a rainy or sight-obscured day however. The guide was like a nice mother hen. The only confusing part was that I called and asked if they meet you directly in the Tourist Info station at the train station and was told "yes" twice, when in reality, the bus is across the street. Luckily, the people at the TI know, and I was directed by them to the bus. Also, on the boat trip back, if you are staying in Lucerne, get off at the Hergiswil stop and go to the glass factory right at the dock, and then afterwards you can easily take the train back to Lucerne from the station located there, about a 15 minute ride.

Money well spent! The bus picked us up at the tourist office and took us straight to where we needed to go up the mountain. Even in cloud cover, the view from Mt Pilatus was amazing and we had enough time at the top to take the walking paths and take in the view from all sides. The ride down the mountain was actually very peaceful and the scenery was awesome. And then the boat ride back to Lucerne was incredible! I would definitely recommend this to anyone! We loved it!
