About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 658aimeep0 contributionsGreat experienceReally enjoyed this trip - well worth it! We came from Australia so the snow was a novelty for us. The views are stunning and we had a good time sliding down on the snow and racing each other.Written 27 January 2024
- Susan L0 contributionsMt Titlis terrific!A wonderful day- bus ride with informative guide, cable car, revolving cable car, suspension bridge, chairlift, ice caves, slipping and sliding in the snow! I also saw an alpine marmot! Gelato with a beautiful viewWritten 7 September 2023
- BD4MK0 contributions5 ⭐️ Mountaintop ExperienceI highly recommend this excursion to Mt Pilatus! It was the highlight of our 11 day trip to Europe! You will be assigned a guide for the group! Our group had about 20. She spoke several languages but we could understand her English perfectly! She was AWESOME! Layer up as it will be cold and windy at the top! But, you will want to remove the layers for the boat after! It was a mountaintop experience and worth the price of admission!Written 31 July 2023
- Vacationer5044310 contributionsNo mechanism to make changesDespite two days notice the tour company Yotours could not change our tour time. This request was made 5 minutes after booking the tour and involved several calls and emails that did not resolve the issue. We found a great guide on our own. We will see if our refund is handled as poorlyWritten 5 July 2023
- Camper018755844320 contributionsPricey tourWe met our guide at the clock tower as was specified in our tickets. We had some miscommunication but finally met up. We walked the wall for a short time. It was just the 2 of us with our guide. We saw the highlights in Lucerne but didn’t really see anything or learn anything new on the tour. It was overpriced for what we received. We’ve done small group tours in lots of cities and this was far below our expectations.Written 9 June 2023
- wearez20220 contributionsYou Cannot Trust Your TicketWe were issued a ticket to enjoy this trip on July 2nd, 2022, by Viator TripAdvisor. My credit card was charged. Nevertheless, when we arrived at the starting site, we were informed that our reservation “had been cancelled.” Yolanda refused to allow us onto the tour despite my showing her the valid ticket. I am still trying to determine whether Yo Tours or TripAdvisor is responsible for issuing and charging for a ticket, then reneging on it, but the system is not a trustworthy one. To be fair, Yo Tours had attempted to message me to say they were going to refuse service, but I am at a loss to understand how a tour can be ticketed, run with other participants, then withheld. Word to the wise, we were able to purchase the same trip later that day at the public ticket station down by the Lucerne dock for half the price.Written 15 July 2022

Unfortunately I have to give this a bad review. We arrived at the meeting point on time (15 min prior to trip). There was no tour guide and many people were wondering if we were at the correct spot. 5 min after trip was to start 2 ladies show up very disorganized and hurrying to check us in. A few min later a city bus pulls up and stops, blocking traffic on the busiest street in Lucerne. It was a double decker bus and I could see many people already on it. The driver started honking and yelling at us to load the bus as he was blocking traffic. My husband and I got on the bus and there were no seats available on first deck...many people had luggage on the open seats. We went up the very narrow staircase to the second deck and saw there were no seats together. This bus had very low ceilings and small seats. Instantly my husband and I needed to get off the bus because it felt so closed in and the thought of spending even a short bus ride (this is an 8-10 hour tour) on this bus made both of us panic. I assumed the bus we would be on would be a nice comfortable coach. Absolutely not the case.

WOW!! What a great time we had on this excursion. The coach was clean, the driver wonderful, and our guide was fantastic. Our guide was multilingual, incredibly knowledgeable, and very personable. The weather was fantastic on the day we went up to Grindelwald. Seeing Eiger and the glaciers was mind-blowing. We went on the last day of the season that the lift takes visitors to the top - so keep dates in mind and check the schedule before you book this trip. We couldn't have wished for a better trip.

Not worth it. You’re better off just buying a round trip train ticket from Lucerne to Interlaken. The bus was hot and uncomfortable. The guide was fine, but she repeated everything in Spanish so it felt a little like you were only getting half as much as you paid for. It’s mixed with other tours so the timeline isn’t optimized for you to get the most out of the trip. Instead they drive you to Interlaken, have you walk around for 50 minutes which isn’t really enough time to do anything but long enough for you to feel like you wasted it. Then you get back on the bus (not a train as indicated) and drive to Grindelwald, by now it’s noon and you left at 9 and you feel like you still haven’t been able to do anything. We ended up just buying a train ticket and taking the train back to Lucerne two hours early.

first of all we were on the bus with a tour guide called 'Kid', this tour guide was a racist by all means, he knew that we are Arabs and he kept on repeating the word "yala" which is an arabic word he kept on saying it in a mean way. whenever we tried to ask him questions about what we can do in Interlaken or whether we will have time to do any activities in the city he always responded in an aggressive way and refused to say a full answer. all his words were mean and we are a family of 6 and all agreed that his attitude was unacceptable. I also understand German to a certain extent and I heard him talk about us in a bad way with the bus driver on how we don't understand what he is saying.
he is super unprofessional and we didn't like how he treated us.

Beautiful City! Regardless of the group size, I would recommend to engage one of the tour guides to see the city. The history is very interesting and there are many little "oh wow" nuggets.

Weather was poor for seeing mountains. Nature! Tourguide on coach was fine, but we were dropped off in each of the 2 villages with no advice on which way to go, what someone might want to see in the village. Surrounded by tourist shops, didn't feel like we really experienced the city.

All was well but punctuality of the bus was a concern Late leaving in the morning and about 30 minutes or more late for pick up to return to Luzern.
