What travelers are saying
My clients said everything about this experience was taken care of with professionalism and they enjoyed everything from start to fnish.
This was an excellent excursion for us. There was generous time for exploring Lucerne, but the boat ride to Burgenstock and the tram ride up to the resort was terrific. It was a bit rainy when we were there and we had lunch at the top with terrific views. We didn't really know what to expect, and we were delighted with the day.
We had a great time on this tour. The bus takes a scenic route to Lucerne and a shorter route on the return. Lucerne was our favorite city in Switzerland and Bürgenstock was lovely. We hiked around the resort and ate at the golf restaurant. We sat outside on the small patio looking at the alps and being serenaded by cow bells. It was perfect!
We had a great time in Lucerne and also in beautiful Bürgenstock!
