Lucerne Tours in September 2027

The tour was excellent- I enjoyed touring the castles in Austria, seeing the how cuckoo clocks were made in Germany and going to Mount Pilatus in Switzerland. Everything was top notch including the food and accommodations. Our tour guide Pilar was very helpful and informative- couldn’t recommend her enough.

Favorites: Habkern Switzerland was wonderful! Beautiful scenery with Swiss Chalets. Visited Swiss couple that shared their culture through music and had a tour of Alpine horn workshop, followed by fondue luncheon! Mt Pilutus was awesome again with scenery and the vernicular ride up and gondola ride down into Lucerne! Innsbruck was incredible with the Long jump ski facility where the 1976 Olympics occurred. Our tour guide 'Mo' was fabulous! She is so knowledgeable about our destination s and cultures, history. Well balanced between tours, activities and free time! Only negative was it took us 25 hrs/24 mins to get home and we could have been rerouted for a shorter travel home!

A little too much free time in Bern. Would have liked to spend a little more time at Lake Lucern. Otherwise the trip was great. Have to say it would have been nice if the farewell dinner had us eating altogether instead of at separate tables. Also the food wasn’t very good. The venue was pretty though.

Our guide went out of his way when rain was coming in…he found something else for us to do. That was above our expectations. The train ride…Fabulous. So glad we got to see the lion of the Swiss Guards.

It was a great trip to very scenic places. Visiting Albert Einstein's home/museum in Bern was a nice serendipity. My favorites were going to the top of Mt. Gurten overlooking Bern, Mt. Pilatus overlooking Lucerne and the Fortress Palace overlooking Salzburg, all by funicular railway.

I most enjoyed the small Alpine village of Habkern. It was such and iconic Alpine village with beautiful postcard scenery all around you, and was fun seeing how the alphorn is made and learning how to yodel. The entire tour was great, seeing the Swiss & Austrian alps. The cities of Bern & Innsbruck & Salzberg were very interesting with beautiful scenery & great local restuarnants & bars and shops as well. Great hotels in the city centers that we could just step outside and immerse ourselves in the local culture.
