The dragon walk was astounding. If you only have one full day in Switzerland, this is a must see tour to experience the Alps.

This would have been 5 stars if weather was better. No view from Mr. Pilates this day. Our guide, Roman, was absolutely terrific.

Roman our guide was terrific! He was very knowledgeable and very easy to be with. We thought our excursion was one of the highlights of a week long cruise.

This was a full day adventure with our local guide, Mr. Abraham. He picked us up at our hotel, guided us to the train station where we travelled from Basel to Lucerne, took us to the top of Pilatus by cable car and a short hike, showed us around Lucerne and got us back to the train station to finish the day. Mr. Abraham provided a lot of historical information about Switzerland, Lucerne and Pilatus, as well as shared his personal experiences of hiking Pilatus. He is 75 years young, and still hikes the peak periodically. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day in Switzerland mostly due to Mr. Abraham's attention to detail. It was well worth the expense to have a private, personal guide for this tour.

Adrian provided a white glove experience! We especially loved the lake cruise and learning the history of Lucerne.
