    One of the Most Memorable Excursions Ever

    I am a mobility challenged adult. In looking for excursions, I wanted an experienced shaped towards acknowledging my personal needs and someone who not only understood this but was also prepared to meet those needs while allowing me to maintain my personal integrity and not feel singled out because of those disabilities. Our tour guide, Mary, was a perfect fit. She made sure both my needs and those of my wife were addressed while insuring we could see and do the things we wouldn't have been able to do with the large group we weee traveling with. Mary worked very hard to make our dreams of seeing a part of Switzerland from the perspective of someone who lived there versus visiting guests. She had a great deal of background information regarding all of the places we visited. Mary, without question, made our day memorable. I'd recommend this company (Tours of Switzerland) for any excursion they offer. You will not be disappointed.

    Do Not Book With This Company

    Do not book a tour with this company. We were scheduled to go on a small group tour to Mt Titlis, Engelberg. We booked ahead of time and were scheduled to go on May 5, 2024. The day before at around 5pm we were contact by email to state that our tour for the following day had been cancelled. They did not explain the reason why. When you travel 6,000 miles to see something it is a real downer when that does not happen. We still had two more days in Switzerland and we just moved somethings around to accommodate the schedule. We then rescheduled for May 6, 2024. Again at about 5pm the day before the tour was to happen it was cancelled again. The last and final day that we were scheduled to be in Switzerland it was rainy. Because of this company we were unable to see what we came to Switzerland for. Take my advice, if you actually want your tour to happen, do not book with this company because there are no guarantees.

    Perfect Trip with Jonas

    Jonas was such a charismatic young man who took us to some of the most beautiful secret spots and sights of Switzerland! We loved it!!

    A MUST do if in Zurich!

    Outstanding tour! We had a family group whose ages were from 12-75; and everyone was well accommodated. The guide (Jonas) was knowledgable, friendly, professional & took great care to ensure everyone had a great time. The support staff (Lina) reached out to us before hand with great tips for our time in Zurich, as well to make sure we were well prepared for our day trip. Yes - you will ride the train & it is totally worth it! Our guide made it timed perfectly & worth the authentic experience. As we had a little time (& energy) left in our day, our guide encouraged a stop on our return in Lucerne for a quick walk about. We are looking forward to using this tour company in a future trip! THANK YOU!

    Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | From Zurich: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.

    How much does Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | From Zurich cost?

    +

    Prices start at $459 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 Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | 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 Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | From Zurich worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | 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 Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | 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 Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | From Zurich?

    +

    Around 3 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 Mt. Titlis Glacier & Lucerne Old Town Tour | 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?

    +

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.
