    Must do!

    Trust the SBB app when it allows very short times for transfer between boat/train, etc., because the Swiss have this down to a science. We traveled there (for free) using our Swiss Travel Passes, and then transferring to the cog rail road at Vitznau which...More

    Could spend days here

    We bought a two day transport pass that let us travel any mode we wanted in the area. We took boat to Weggis....then two cogs and three cable cars...plus lots of hiking....had a great day. Wish I lived there to hike more.

    Simply Amazing

    Everything was amazing and perfect. Took us about an hour to reach the top when we started our journey in Lucerne. We packed a lunch and some wine while overlooking the alps.

    Great tour

    I took the full day tour from Zurich including lucerne and it was wonderful. The mountain was fully in cloud so if have preferred to take the boat to lucerne earlier to have more time there. It was an amazing day out
