We paid more the 450euros for a bus ride from Zurich to Visnou and that was all the tour we had (some information about Switzerland)The tour leader left us at a shop with tickets for train ride and left… we went up the mountain came down and caught a boat to Lucerne …we’re we had to wait for the bus to take us back to Zurich…on the way to Zurich we just listed to the tour leader( if you can all her that ) talking about her life to the bus driver. We could have got a bus ourselves and did the rest by ourselves…we thought we paid for a tour . By the way we were 2 adults and 2 children and at the train shop they told us kids don’t pay for train ride but I bet we paid for it.

The summit of Mt Rigi was a big disappointment, no view due to weather but also nothing open there. The ride up was scenic but the train was not what was expected. I believe the experience was underwhelming because of the time of year but we had no knowledge of that and they did NOT inform us.

Wonderful and plenty of activities to do! The tour guide was informative on the drive over and back. I would just add that you can leave Mt. Rigi at 1pm as well to make the 1349 boat to luzern.
