Beautiful Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus - Santiago was wonderful. The day we took the tour was rainy and foggy but we still had a great time. He was prompt, efficient and very attentive to everyone on the tour. I would definitely book another tour with him in the future.

Best excursion to Mt. Pilatus and Lake Lucerne with Leighton! - Leighton is the best! He’s extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and he made our trip to Mt. Pilatus and Lake Lucerne perfect. He provided us with an agenda and timeline to ensure that we made the most of our time at each attraction, and he made sure we were safe and comfortable for the whole duration. He also offered to get a beer and food with us after the trip in old Lucern. Thanks Leighton!
