The tour with guide amounted to less than 30 minutes. The rest of the time we were on our own.

So called tour was nothing but transport, have to share the tour bus with their other tour in the morning, had to wait for 20minutes for them to be ready. Once up on the mountain, we were left to walk around ourselves. There was no bus to take us back to Luzern, had to walk 1km and catch public bus.

There was no tour. I got dropped at the entrance and handed a bus pass for returning to Lucerne. From there I was on my own.

Tour guide leave you alone at foot of pilatus, was told to take public transport back to your meeting point yourself athought stated transport provided to meeting point. Lunch was awful. We would have plan ourself to the pilatus if that is the case. No tour guide, No transportation. Disappointed

An amazing day. Lovely cable cart rides to the top. We had a perfect day with views for miles. Lunch was spectacular and delicious. We had great fun in the snow. It would be good to start the tour earlier so you could have more time up there. A great way to spend New Years Day!

We were extremely disappointed with the tour in the fact that it was not actually a tour with a guide.We were picked up at the designated spot by a guide , taken to a shop where we had to wait 20minutes for people on another tour,taken to the mountain (10 minutes) and directed with coupons for lunch etc to go to the mountain by ourselves and then advised we had to walk down the winding street to catch a local bus back to Lucerne ..All this without a guide

What a damned Waste of Money:_br/_ You spend more time filling out paperwork and waivers than actually riding to the base of the mountain, which is only 10 minutes away by bus. Meal choice was lousy. Guide was late to pick-up, then didn't even drop us off back at the train station, but made us walk.! Got no info from guide on mountain, history, etc.

Very poor value. There was no guide for the trip and I was the sole traveller, others having given up when they heard it was not guided. I was given cable car tickets and a bus ticket to get me back to Lucerne.

This was a wonderful trip. Lunch could have been a little more timely, but over all the guide was very knowledgeable and Mt. Pilatus was very beautiful. Coming down and seeing the entire town of Lucerne was breathtaking.

I was expecting the 'horn blowers' like in the picture. The time there was too long.
