Lucerne, Engleberg tour - It was convenient visiting Lucerne and Engleberg. Howver, I think it would have been perfect if the time allocated in Lucerne was a bit longer.

Awesome day tour - We took the Lucerne and Engelberg day tour with a glimpse of Titlis Mountain. Our guide Adel was super wonderful and helpful. Our driver Jose was awesome. 5stars to both of them.

It was great! Our tour... - It was great! Our tour guide shared a lot of information on the drive. We had time to walk around on our own in Lucerne- just under an hour- and do some fun things in Engelberg while part of the tour went to Mt. Titlis. We enjoyed going at our own pace and eating, shopping and going for a toboggan ride in Engelberg!

Excellent this tour - Excellent this tour, I recommend it 100%. It was worth seeing the beautiful city of Lucerne and Engelberg. On the journey from Zurich to these places you can appreciate beautiful landscapes, which charm the eyes. The monastery is not an indoor tour and only the grounds, but it is beautiful! If you take the funicular there is a short walk in the countryside and you arrive at a restaurant with beautiful views.

Both cities are lovely... - Both cities are lovely but there was absolutely not enough time to really appreciate Lucerne. If we had an extra day we would have gone back as this tour did not provide very much time there. Engelberg is charming.

Not worth the money paid for . Please train your driver and guide ! - Never ! never ! never book this tour . Read carefully before you book !!!!! It cheaper you go on your own . (half the price and you had more time to explored ) Angela the guide never tell you how and where to go . Angela just tell u what time to meet at the bus stop. In Lucerne ( time not enough) She just bring you to see the chapel bridge , (if you want to follow) when you got off the bus you need a rest room .She tell you where the rest room are ,but she will not organise and wait !!!!!!She will just walk with her flag and never give a break for rest room. So either you follow her or you go rest room in your own ! After you need to catch up or you are on your own like free n easy!!!! You see nothing . In Engelberg, she just give a map ,and all became free n easy again . Drop you at the point , remind you what time to be back , driver will be there at that specific time .This are the worst European trip I come across . It just like a transport service . Sorry to said This will be my last trip with Viator !! Bus have no wifi , no charger . Nothing at all only cold mineral water at the price of 2 Euro/Chf . Driver / guide don’t know how to take care customers. 80 % travellers onboard with the hot weather , the bus are still engine off . All travellers are fanning because it hot in the bus . This are basic customer services. Start the bus and let travellers had some sur conditions ( fuel are expensive yes ! But 20 minutes to start sir conditions for comfort to travellers that the main PR ) Very shameful- which they didn’t know !! Know how to sell cold water at 2 euro/Chf per bottle of 500ml . With A4 white paper clearing paste on the TV screen at middle of bus .

This tour is a ruse!!! Beware!!!! - Don't waste your money but more important don't waste your time. I feel duped! This trip was such a waste of time because you took a bus ride to Lucerne thinking you are going to see this beautiful city and you do in the blink of an eye. We were actually picking up more passengers that were joining us on the other tour to Mt Titlis. We were just going along for the ride. At least that is what it felt like. So you know, the bus drops you off 15 min away from the city and the guide brings you to the wooden bridge and tells you that is one of the sites and explore the city on your own. Once you walk across the bridge you can maybe walk into the city but there is no way you have time to explore it. Then you have to walk run all the way back to the bus before it leaves. You saw very little of this city and it was all a ruse to pick up their other tour customers. I am still unaware of this deceitful tour and we are now headed for Engelberg. Sold as a typical Alpine village. Well we get there and they leave us off in the parking lot and tell us to meet them back here in 4 hours. The weather was cold and damp ( I realize they are not responsible for that ). They told us to explore the town, but did they know that the town was dead and almost everything was closed, even the church. There were no restaurants open, no museums, no little stores. We stopped in a tourist information center and she told us that everything is closed up because it is low season!! She recommended a walk by the river which we did. Guess what not more than a mile away is the gondola that takes you up to the top of Mt Titlis. They didn't want to tell us about that because that would have been the other tour. Shame on you Best of Switzerland Tours! Buyer be ware!!!
