Reviews Mount Pilatus
“Instructions were easy to follow and the entire trip went super smoothly. So great to be able to do this at our own speed!! Highly recommend. We are Seniors from the US - if we can do it anyone can!!”
“The whole experience was amazing from our tour guide Dulce, our “junior” tour guide and Bruno the bus driver. Dulce was very knowledgeable, patient and personable. The cable car, cog wheel train and boat ride all provided amazing views of the water and mountains. I highly recommend!!! Must do!”
