We helicoptered to the top of two glaciers and honestly loved the low level flying more. The hills are so green and the glaciers are dusty looking. Lucerne seemed crowded for this time of year. Food in town was par at best. We always felt safe. Shopping was mostly routine, the ferry boats were good and the Burgenstock Resort now ranks as our best stay ever--beating out some famous, worldly estates. We almost returns this week and we will return soon.Lance_L

The views and scenery were fabulous on the trip up and back but unfortunately due to the weather, there were no views from Jungfraujoch. The trip was quite expensive so bad weather is quite a risk.

We highly recommend going on this tour! We had the best time despite the fact that it was raining when we left Lucerne. Our tour guide Kid was exceptional and made the tour even more enjoyable! The view at the top was breathtaking and it was great to be able to get out in the snow!

This was an amazing trip! Our tour guide was Kid and he was fabulous. He was excited, informative, full of energy, and always made sure everyone in the group was accounted for at all times. If he was missing anyone, he quickly ran around to find them. He told us during the whole trip where the best photo opportunities were. The only problem, which wasn’t something anyone had control over, was that the last train to take us to the top of the mountain had trouble in the morning, which backed up all of the trains for the rest of the day. That cut our time short on the mountain, but Kid fought for us to get to each of the most important spots and took pictures of us with our own cameras. I highly recommend this trip!
