This was an excellent tour. It was very well planned. The tour manager did an excellent job. All of the local tour guides were very knowledgeable. The bus driver was very skilled. There was only one optional tour, the Mount Pilatus trip. This tour was my favorite part of the trip - we went up to the top of Mount Pilatus on a gondola. The view was fantastic. We were lucky that the weather was beautiful for most of the tour.Show more
