4.Mt Rigi Day Trip with Cruise, Cable Car, & Train

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 13 reviews · 6 hours · from $217

Ride Mount Rigi by cable car and cogwheel train, then cruise Lake Lucerne on a scenic six-hour Swiss day trip.

“The view of the snow covered Alps above the clouds was spectacular. It was even more impressive coming out of the clouds on the cable car into the winter wonderland. The boat ride around Lake Lucerne was interesting but could have avoided an embarrassing moment. We did not know our cruise tickets were for the 2nd class lounge and we asked to leave the 1st class lounge! As Americans we did not know!”

Review of the private Glacier Express day tour from Lucerne, with panoramic rail views, lunch, guide support, costs, stops, and booking advice.

“The Glacier Express train journey is stunning and we loved it! However, do not book this tour with Viator, it is a massive rip off and is over-charging you. There is no reason to have a private guide, the train guides you. We were thoroughly disappRead more”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $305

Ride historic trains and a paddle steamer from Lucerne to Mount Rigi, with grand views, local stories, and a small-group guide.

“My wife and I often choose a guide to introduce us to a new city when we are on vacation. In Lucerne we were fortunate to have a tour group of only five with Timon as our guide. Obviously Timon had done his homework ahead of time. He knew each of our names and during the time together made it a point to visit with us individually to learn more about each one of us.”
