We’re spending a couple days in Lucerne with a river cruise that starts here before getting on the ship. The extra excursion they offer goes to Mt Pilatus for 4 hrs using their bus to the gondola, which takes you to the cable car to the top; but then goes back down the same way in order to take their bus back to our hotel.
Being a Rick Steve’s traveler for yrs, I researched and don’t like they’re charging the most, but they’re not giving us the opportunity to take the cogwheel train down, followed by a boat cruise on the lake back to Lucerne. I thought we could do this ourselves for less and do the whole “golden ticket pkg” (as they call it). I read you can buy the tickets for this at the bus station that’s next to the train station.
My question has anyone done this themselves and how easy is it. There’s also a “Get Your Guide” tour that we could buy for ourselves, and be part of a group that does the whole pkg for a little less than our river cruise offers.
Would love to hear people’s feelings that have done the Mt Pilatus tour from Lucerne. Thank you!
