Vladimir and Adolfo both great tour guide. We decided to switch the tour to Mr. Titlis and they were very helpful in helping us with changes .

It was lovely to have a bit of time in Lucerne. The most amazing sights were the Alps themselves. Everywhere we looked there were postcard views.

The scenery and drive to Engelberg was lovely. So was the brief stop in Lucerne. However, once you got to Engelberg, you had 3 hours in a village with not much to do. If you're not doing the Titlus snow experience, I don't think this tour is really worth it.

This trip is great for individuals who don’t mind walking and being active. We elected to not go up Mt Titlis and were happy we didn’t as weather was not favorable (having most attractions close). We had about 3-4hrs of free time once in Engelburg and throughly enjoyed walking around, grabbing lunch, and shopping. There is a hiking trail we ended up not doing due to weather, but others really enjoyed it. Recommend this tour for people who are moderately active.

This trip was a waste of time and money. Why would they schedule a trip to a town where there is nothing to do or see and wait there for 4 hours? Do not take this trip. Pay for the full excursion instead. Besides, this company would not allow you to drink anything inside the bus. Seriously? When is it freezing outside and not even let you bring coffee on the bus?
