Our Mount Pilatus tour was a truly wonderful and memorable experience. The beauty of Mount Pilatus is exceptional, and despite my fear of heights, I was able to enjoy the climb. Our tour guide, Fernando, was excellent. He provided clear, step-by-step explanations in both English and Spanish, making the experience smooth and informative. We had ample time to explore and even to enjoy a meal, with all ride fees included in the package. The organization of the tour made every minute enjoyable. Our driver, Carlos, was very careful and friendly. I also admired the mutual respect between Fernando and Carlos, which added to the overall positive experience. While the tour is on the pricier side, the quality and experience justify the cost. I highly recommend this package.

It is very fun and very suitable for taking children with you. There are different routes and means of transportation from going up to down the mountain. The scenery is very beautiful and the children will not be too tired from walking. However, at the meeting point starting from Luzern, the link to the website went to Zurich. I had to search for it myself using the address. I hope this small problem can be corrected.
