This is a SELF GUIDED tour so do not expect to be meeting a tour guide who will be with you during your day. The boat leaves from the main Lucerne Pier and you are automatically in second class (you can upgrade on the boat if you want). Second class means you can only stay on the main level of the boat and cannot go to the top level or sit in the top level restaurant. Boat ride is scenic. You can bring a stroller if you need to. When you arrive at the town you take a tram up the mountain. We were here in August, which is high season and it was packed. Its a very vertical climb up, which is fun but if you're stuck standing you'll have to lean quite a bit to stay upright. Once at the top you can take different routes to walk down Mt Rigi. The views are spectacular! There is a paved route you can use if you have a stroller etc or you can take the off road routes, which are shorter. If you go off road, make sure you don't touch the electrified fences that are set up for the cows. My 3yr old and partner both got shocked and it HURT. I wish they would set up signs to let you know that the fences are electrified. The spa/baths is really nice way to break up the day. We had so much fun there. Then we took the cable car, which was also extremely crowded so even though there is an amazing view going down, it's hard to see if the cable car is full of people. Still worth it to do this tour though.isnewyork

This was one of our favorite day trips while in Switzerland, as we were constantly surrounded by beautiful scenery! We took the boat from Pier 1 to Vitznau (we opted for the 9:12am departure) We arrived in Vitznau and then got on the cog rail train (right next to pier) which we took to the top of Rigi (Rigi Kulm). We then hiked our way down to Rigi Kaltbad where the mineral bath/spa is (you can take the train back down, but we enjoyed a hike at our own pace, along with the views) In Rigi Kaltbad, we stopped for lunch, then went to the mineral bath, which we thoroughly enjoyed! After the mineral bath, we picked up the cable car to Weggis (cable car is right next to the bath/spa). Weggis is where you board the boat back to Lucerne (follow the signs to the pier). This was a wonderful way to spend the morning/afternoon: amazing views, a chance to hike, and an opportunity to relax at the mineral bath. Highly recommend!!Natallia_R

Great experience! Mobile ticket is good for all transports: boat, cogwheel train and cable car , as well as spa entrance. You don't need separate vouchers. The time table for everything is set up perfectly, so you don't have to wait too long. You can rent a robe and a towel at the spa or bring your own. No shampoo nor soap is provided in the showers. The pool water has no chlorine and feels amazingly. We had the most relaxing and enjoyable day.Noreen K

This was a fabulous excursion worth every penny. The description doesn’t convey how unusual a trip it is . With a boat cruise , cog rail trip, hike and cable car ride you get every angle on some of the most stunning views of mountains and lakes you’d find anywhere . While hiking we followed Rick Steve’s suggestion for the hike down the Chanzelli detour from Staffel( it makes more sense once you are on the mountain) and were not disappointed. Every turn we took offered gorgeous views. We ended the hike with a swim in the mineral baths which are mid-way down (Rigi Kaltbad) the mountain and include a heated indoor/outdoor pool with perfect views the Alps. Another reviewer spelled out the directions for the trip which got us started. Once on the mountain it was clear. Enjoy!maraptilen

Love love love this activity. I was a little intimidated with the lack of details, but thankfully another reviewer filled in the details. We went and had such a lovely day. Here was we did- Luzern —> Vitzanue by boat Vitzanue —> Rigi (a few diferent stops depending on how much you want to hike/explore) —> then we hiked down to the middle of the mountain (1 hour hike or you can take the train back down), did the Spa (amazing!) had a late lunch then took the cable car —> Weggis. Finally boat back to Luzern. Highly recommend you do this if you are in the area!
