The boat ride was exceptional. The tour guide was very informative about Zurich and the area between Zurich and Lucerne. She wasn’t familiar with the boat ride so we needed to investigate the logistics ourselves. I feel that a better communication was needed.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The bus ride was very enjoyable. The scenery on the way to Lucerne was breathtaking. The tour guide was making comments through out the bus ride. We had enough time to enjoy the beautiful streets of Lucerne, the lake cruise, do some shopping and have lunch.

The trip started 15 minutes late. Then the bus took multiple stops. The view was great and the bus was comfortable but it took more time than we wanted to get 50 minutes from town. They should tell you that the travel time is 2 hours because off various stops before you get to Lucerne because there are multiple combined tours.

This experience was not remotely worth the cost, such that we chose not to even take the bus back with the group. I would suggest just taking the train from Zurich to Lucerne and renting a small personal motorboat on the lake for an hour (the "cruise" is a crowded mess). For less than what we paid on this trip, you can get to Lucerne far quicker (the bus makes multiple stops to drop off other groups on the way) and enjoy the lake at your own speed, in your own space.
