Switzerland · LUCERNE & LAKE LUCERNE TOURS
71 reviewed
Three mountains, one long lake and a painted wooden bridge, all within an hour of the station. These are the Lucerne bookings that work: which boat crossing connects to which summit, what the golden round trip actually includes, and which options still leave you an afternoon in the old town.
Zurich to Mt Titlis and Lucerne by coach, with glacier cave, highest suspension bridge, cliff walk, and winter snow fun when weather allows.
“It was an amazing experience. We had lots of snow. An experience you shouldn’t miss. Olga, our guide went beyond our expectations.”
Ride the Dragon Ride gondola and world’s steepest cogwheel, then cruise Lake Lucerne when in season, for a high-altitude Swiss afternoon.
“When booked for November 2025, boat ride & gondola lift were both cancelled when we showed up. They compensated with $20 certificate per person to spend at Mount Pilatus, but this was very disapointing. Would not have booked this tour if knew this in advance. Guide was no benefit as they only accompanied us for the bus ride to and from Mount Pilatus and really didn't add to the experience.”
A 9.5-hour Jungfraujoch day trip from Lucerne with coach, cogwheel trains, Ice Palace, Sphinx Observatory, and the Eiger Express.
“The long day trip was made memorable due to the awesome tour guide (Kid) we had for the day. He ensured that things ran like clockwork, making the most of our day (and ensuring we had time for food/shopping etc) and ensured we had lots of photos taken to remember the day.”
Gondola up Mt Pilatus, cogwheel train down, then a Lake Lucerne cruise from Zurich. One organized day, big views, real logistics.
“It was a lovely day! I was disappointed by the amount of time we had in Lucerne. I wish the bus could drop us off closer to downtown - as walking to and back to it takes about 20 mins. If anyone gets motion sickness they definitely need to take medication before this tour. It was an incredibly experience and a beautiful way to see Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus! It was a long day but one filled with excellent memories.”
Lucerne highlights on foot, then add a Lake Lucerne cruise. Small-group guide, English tour, Chapel Bridge, towers, bridges.
“We enjoyed this tour including the walking portion and the boat tour. Weather was beautiful. Guide was knowledgeable. The boat tour times were flexible which was nice. We could take some time between the two tours if we wanted.”
A 1-hour Lake Lucerne yacht cruise from Pier 7 with multilingual smartphone audio, Wi-Fi, and lake-and-mountain views plus an onboard bar.
“Very little information. I was hoping to get more information about the city and country. The information they have was not relevant. They also sailed very far from the coast so capturing photos was difficult. It’s just a short boat ride. Nothing more. I would not recommend this.”
Cable car, cogwheel train, and a Lucerne lake cruise, with real free time on Mount Rigi, plus Old Town sights by guided coach.
“Its a good tour,our tour guide Adolfo and driver Francisxo are very informative.. Just follow the direction and you wont get lost.Alhough during our tour at Mt.Regi its so foggy that we cant see the view and in Lucerne it rained. So check the weather.”
3 hours on electric cargo bikes through Lucerne’s quiet outskirts, with Swiss culture lessons, scenic lake rides, and playful stops.
“Anthony was the most phenomenal tour guide! Not only was he extremely informative, he was super polite, professional, funny, and entertaining! 100/10 recommend this tour! Excellent way to see the city.”
Skip lines with a prebooked ticket to the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne. Explore rail, air, road, and more at your pace.

Zurich to Lucerne by Glacier Express and panoramic trains. Oberalp Pass views, Lake Lucerne, Chapel Bridge, and a guided Old Town.
“The tour operator re-scheduled my paid ticket for this tour 16hrs prior to the start of the tour. I told the tour operator which is "Tours of Switzerland" that I cannot re-sched the tour as my schedule is fixed. I contact them through our hotel reception telephone and I was able to talk to the head guy of the tour operator named Jonas and told me that he cannot do anything about it. I paid 2person that costs me USD1,287 and what I get is that they just send me the tiket for the glacier express ride "only" without guide aa indicated in the itinerary, and "Jonas promised me that…”
Lucerne to Jungfraujoch by gondola and cogwheel, plus Sphinx Observatory and Ice Palace, with a guided day built for value.
“The views were spectacular. The guides were excellent. The gondola and train rides were exceptional The trip was well worth the cost”
A long scenic coach ride links Zurich to Lucerne and Engelberg, with guided highlights plus time to roam monasteries, town streets, and cheese culture.
“Very very bad!! Do not book this tour! This tour is usually patched to another group because there are only a few participants, and the main group (of the other tour) includes a trip up Mt Titlis which lasted 3 hours. Since you are not in the main group, YOU SAT AT THE BUS STATION FOR 3 HOURS with nothing to do and nothing to see, because Engelberg is a resort town full of small hotels but no shops or restaurants. You don't even see kiosks offering activities. Repeat: there is nothing to do and nothing to see in Engelberg! Don't book this tour to waste 3 hours in frustration…”
