Trains, Old towns and Nature - We were looking for a scenic train ride experience starting from Zurich and this choice was the right one. We had a great tour! Panoramic train is not from Zurich, is starting from Lucerne and goes until Interlaken. We liked the fact that tour was easy paced and at the end of the day we were back in Zurich. Scenery was just amazing!!

Good views, good company and good guide - Panoramic train ride from Lucerne to Interlaken was gorgeous. We started from Zurich on a normal train but the views there still nice and the commentary of the guided gave us a lot of information that we wouldn't know on our own.
We were a small group and enjoyed the interactions within the group very much. Would repeat it any day!

The journey was absolutely beautiful, with unforgettable views along the way. We visited Lucerne and Interlaken, both of which were stunning and well worth the trip.

Amazing scenery from panoramic train - In one day we did so much .. just amazing. 2 city tours which didn't involve too much walk so for us was perfect. The panoramic train gave us amazing scenery from green fields to snowy peaks to foggy villages .. just amazing. Go for this tour if you want to have beautiful views from the train and at the same time you visit 2 swiss cities. Everything in one day!!
