Initial problem, but immediately corrected with an even better tour!
Terry_W
, Apr 2022
Excellent tour, but minor problems. Our original date was April 20 and we had to change to the 6th. (Cancel 20th). However, when we showed at the train station we were informed our tour was cancelled. The tour operator told us to board and he would send to tickets by wi-fi. It worked and we met up with another couple who only wanted Mt Titulus. So we adapted and gave up the Lake Lucerne boat tour. Our guide was excellent and we got to see all our main points. Highly recommend the Mt Titulus trip. Absolutely gorgeous! The trip started badly with the "cancellation", but the tour operator fixed everything while enroute. Great initiative and follow through!

Hello Terry
Meanwhile we figured out problems from Viator when customer changes the travel date and we get not notified.
However, it was a "non standard"-solution for you, but we tried to lead you by phone to Lucerne, what really worked well.
Glad you had seen even more than expected on this tour and you are happy with our "unconventional" solution yesterday.
Hope to see you again in Switzerland.
Kind regards
Mike
In Luzern with Oskar

We were so fortunate to have Oskar guide us from Basel to Luzern. He is so knowledgeable about the train trip (and points of interest along the way), and once in Luzern, he took us to amazing sights both well-known and out-of-the-way. He is a delightful guide. He even suggested a great restaurant for our return to Basel (Walliserkanne, which was great). Thank you, Oskar!!
Expensive and no history

The guide was a very nice gentleman but gave us very little history. Although there were only 6 people, unless you were standing next to the guide you really couldn't understand or hear. The boat tour was actually a hotel shuttle boat. No food or drink on the boat tour, basically across the lake to the hotel landing and back. Much too expensive for the services.
Response from Host , Dec 2019
Good afternoon
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I give you some background information:
-this tour is not a historical tour and it's described as it it
-there is one tourist boat, for the lake tour, crowded with guests, loud and where you get audio-guides on low batteries. That's why we decided to get on the lake on the Bürgenstock-Shuttle, as it runs frequently, is doing the same way as the tourist boat and is much more modern.
-if you calculate, that you travelled on Swiss trains for 3 hours (and you don't have any reduction card) and you could sit on a scenic boat for one hour, you had a tourguide for 6 people - the price is really fair comparing to the price level in Switzerland.
With this information and the hint, that you always get better prices direct on the tour operator instead of a re-seller, I hope the situation clear's up a little bit.
Kind regards
Beautiful city despite the gloomy rain.

City tour in Luzern
Sandra S
, Sep 2019
We had an excellent guide in Juli, not spelled correctly, but pronounced Yoolee. He took us to all of the historic sites and on a ship ride on the lake that was spectacular! The scenery on the ferry ride was what we loved the most! But he let us decide when to stop for a break or shopping and really let the tour be ours. Fantastic guide! Our guide, Anna, got us from Basel to Luzern and she didn't have much to say, but made sure we got to Juli so that was good. She kept forgetting and slipping back in German which we could not understand, but she did get us safely to Luzern. I would recommend this tour if you want to see Luzern.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
