Best tour company in Switzerland
AlpExcursions planned a couple of tours in Lucerne and did transfers from Basel to Lucerne and Basel to airport for my group of 30 people. They were the best to work with (Vera). She always got back to me and all the guides/drivers were there on time. I would 100 percent recommend them and I would use them again. Great Job!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure to assist you and your group during your time in Switzerland. We’re especially happy to hear that our team helped make everything run smoothly, from your tours in Lucerne to the transfers. Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to working with you again in the future. The AlpExcursion Switzerland Team

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich cost?
+
Prices start at $1750 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 Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lucerne and Mount Rigi - Queen of the Mountains - Private Trip from Zurich 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.
