Uma experiência excelente. Viagem de barco muito calma e a vista das margens do lago é excelente. O elétrico até ao topo do monte proporciona vistas magnificas (escolham lugares lado esquerdo para a subida). No topo mesmo em dias mais encobertos é bonito. Desçam a pé até ao teleférico que vale muito a pena. E depois a viagem de teleférico até de novo ao barco é do outro mundo. Para quem tem medo alturas escolha não ficar logo na frente, mas não deixe de fazer a viagem.

The Rigi region is wonderful especially in good weather, but you should need more information from the organizers. You should know the timetable of the all of the trains in advance in order to organize your trip. My suggestion for the Get Your Guide: you should show the time table of the trains in a pdf form for the travellers on your website.

A very clean hotel, and a very helpful owner. Only down side was no toilet or shower unit as had to share. To note only 3 car parking paces but you can park at the car park opposite over the rail way track, as the owner did provide a parking badge. Breakfast was a nice continental type.
