The day trip was fantastic. We received a brief sampling of the beautiful town of Como, Bellagio, and Lugano. The trip was just enough time to experience the beauty of each location and inform your decision to return again someday. Keep in mind that each stop is very brief. Most of the travel time will be spent on the bus between each location. While the boat is private, it is very plain. But the boat does give you the opportunity to take GREAT photos from the center of the lake. I was travelling with my son who is in his 20s and he truly enjoyed the trip, as well.

Great way to explore the Jungfrau region and surrounding areas. It’s wonderful to NOT stand in the line to purchase tickets.

Maybe the best tour I ever made ! Our tour guide Josh was amaizing. Worth it and highly recommended.

Marcus was terrific! He knows Lucerne history and sights and is very engaging. Highly recommend!

Very good day exploring the swiss alps..great experience.
