Magical Top of Europe Private Day Trip from Lucerne

This adventure traversed not just miles of stunning landscape but weaved a fabric of memories that we will cherish forever. For an unforgettable adventure through some of the most jaw-dropping landscapes on the planet, I wholeheartedly recommend the magical journey to the Top of Europe.

Going up on the gondala and seeing the beauty of the mountains and glaciers. We were lucky enough to see the ibex when we were having lunch at the Eiger. Our tour guide, Tanja, was full of life and made our day memorable.

We were in Lucerne for 4 days in late May/early June & it rained everyday, so we did not get to see the mountains except some glimpses when the clouds parted. We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff were all super friendly, helpful, positive & professional. The concierge was great & rescheduled our guided trip to Mt Pilatus to the day it was "less rainy" which while we did not see the mountains we did get to have a snowball fight. Being from FL, that was fun. The rides up on the gondolas & back down on the cogwheel train was exhilarating, all followed by a boat ride back to Lucerne via boat. I appreciated that we had a guide because his knowledge of the area, the town & the timing of the different modes of transportation made the trip easy. We made the most of the weather, went to museums & churches, explored the absolutely beautiful city, found great fondue, white asparagus, weiner schnitzel & aperol spritzers. It's an expensive city, but so safe & clean & friendly & seemed like everyone at hotel & restaurants spoke English. We would love to go back, & explore more of the country.

It was awesome to see the regional mountains of Lucerne. The tour guide took us to places where I saw unique scenes of mountainous landscapes, perfect for taking holiday photos. Experiencing the world's steepest cogwheel railway, was a thrill. This day tour must not be missed if one is on a holiday in Switzerland.
