Not quite what we expected
We recently went on the 3 day multi tour organised by Best of Switzerland. ex Zurich. At the end of each day we were dropped off at a bus stop and were required to walk back to our ‘convenly located’ Lucerne hotel organised by Best of Switzerland. The hotel was 13-15 min walk so not at all convenient especially when lugging large suitcases on day 1 and then again on day 3 after checking out of the hotel. Luckily we are quite fit and it didn’t rain but still not ideal and want to bring to the attention of other travellers. The tour operator suggested if too difficult we should arrange a taxi. Very dissatisfying. Pointing out also that each day you are on a different bus, different guide and guests so this is not your typical multi day tour. You also have a couple of drop off / pick up’s along the way. Having said that the daily tours were very good but want to point out above as the tour description doesn’t go into this detail.
Response from the operator: Dear Mobile, Thank you very much for choosing one of our overnight tour packages and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that the logistics of the tour did not meet your expectations. As stated in the tour description, the hotel in Lucerne is described as conveniently located in the city center. While it is within walking distance from the bus drop-off point, we understand that walking with large suitcases can be challenging, and take your comments seriously for future occasions. We also regret to hear that the structure of the tour, with different guides, buses, and guests each day, was not what you expected. Due to a lower volume of bookings for overnight packages, we currently combine them with our regular daily tours. This allows us to offer the multi-day experience without requiring a minimum group size. We agree that this setup differs from typical multi-day group tours and appreciate your suggestion to provide more detail in the tour description. That said, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the daily tours themselves, and we truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Thank you again for sharing your experience, as it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another tour in the future, perhaps one that better aligns with your travel preferences. Best regards, Clara from Best of Switzerland Tours

Absolutely wonderful! We weren't...
<p>Absolutely wonderful! We weren't sure what to expect from this tour, but it was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every element of the two day tour. Our night's stay on Mount Pilatus was magnificent - the views spectacular, the setting perfect. The included dinner and breakfast were excellent, and the ambience and service exceptional. Our experience was fabulous and definitely 5 star.</p>

I would not recommend this tour...
<p>I would not recommend this tour. The morning was spend driving through the countryside dropping off other travellers at the various mountains for their excursions. When we headed up Mt Pilatus I was on my own. The stay at Mt Pilatus was amazing and definitely worth it! The train ticket from the base of Mt Pilatus to Lucerne was supposed to be included. It wasn't and I was advised by the tour guide that it is easy to purchase once you come down the mountain. The train station is right at the base of the mountain however the line up was so long to purchase tickets that I almost missed the train back to Lucerne. I would have been better off to book the trip up Pilatus myself as I would have been able to spend more time enjoying Mt Pilatus and it's numerous hiking trails</p>

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis cost?
+
Prices start at $282 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zurich is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zurich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Alps Tour from Zurich: Mt Pilatus and Mt Titlis start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zurich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zurich?
+
On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zürich Historic District Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zurich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zurich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
