Mt Pilatus was closed so we went to Mt Titlis instead -- even better! ❤️ Enjoyed the cable cars up the mountain. I highly recommend the ice flyer, amazing view of the alps. Aside from Mt Titlis, we also spent 1hr in the old town of Lucerne :) Tour guide was so friendly! I also liked that they gave water & snacks in the bus. fun and unforgettable experience!

The view from Mt. Pilatus is breathtaking. If it is lean season, no need to purchase seat reservation.

Tour guide Ecuador gave very clear instructions and able to bring us through the various queues swiftly and snoothly. He also explained well when being asked question. Despite the rain hence very low visibility at Mt Pilatus which is unfortunate for us, we enjoyed this tour very much.

Robert was very nice to look after all of us despite being a very large group. it’s a very relaxing tour and there’s a lot of time for us to walk around. unfortunately it was a foggy day. overall, very great experience with this tour.
