Each and every tour was fantastic! - We did (4) tours with Best Of Switzerland. The first was Zurich Highlights Tour with cruise and the Lindt Chocolate factory. Hint: take the boat back earlier. The 2nd tour was Rhine Falls and the little city Stein am Rhein. Monika was our guide. She is fabulous! Our 3rd tour was Mt Rigi. So much fun. We took a boat, train and funicular. Lunch was amazing at the top. Pumpkin soup is a must! The last tour was Mt Titlis with Monika again. Amazing The meeting place is a little odd but given the city had a carnival going on, parking was hard!

Stunningly beautiful - There is a fair amount of walking on sometimes steep and uneven ground. Take a water bottle, hat, sunglasses, and for sure camera. .

- Gaby was excellent and made the day so easy and enjoyable. She was enthusiastic and informative. The trip was a good value and a FULL day. I would highly recommend this. My one quibble is that the website provides an incorrect address for the meeting spot. When we called, they were beyond helpful. However, make sure to get the right address ahead of time and don't trust what is emailed to you. Have fun, we loved it! Go Gaby!

Beautiful landscapes - The assembly point of the walk is very far from the starting point of the walk. This one is varied, well documented and shows superb landscapes

Mt Rigi and Lake Lucerne - Very good experience. Please note there is a 10 minute walk from bus station to Lucerne boat dock (it is not a coach ride). The cogwheel train was a nice ride. At Mt Rigi there is a restaurant and nice views. Unfortunately we had a cloudy day, but still a great experience. The gondola ride down is quite full, standing room only. The boat rides are nice and very relaxing. Great views of the countryside and Lake.

A nice day that will be remembered - Our tour guide was excellent. We loved the boat ride on Lake Lucerne and the cable car up to Mt. Rigi. Beautiful scenery! The gondola ride was a disappointment. Very crowded; we were packed in with 50 other people and couldn’t see anything and could hardly breathe.
