★ 4.5

From Zurich to Mt. Rigi and Lucerne via cable car, cogwheel train, and Lake Lucerne boat cruise. Partly guided with free time.

“A really nice trip through Mt. Rigi, Lake Lucerne, and Lucerne town. It was largely unguided, we basically just got travel vouchers, and then a quite significant walk back to the bus station in Lucerne. We had a good time, but it was not exactly what I would call a "tour".”
