This is a great way to explore the city, especially if you're short on time or traveling Lucerne…read morefor the first time. The route covers many of Lucerne's main highlights, and it's a relaxing way to get oriented without a lot of walking. The train itself is clean and comfortable, and the ride feels smooth and well-organized. The audio commentary is informative and gives helpful background about the city's history and landmarks, making it more than just a sightseeing ride. Audio recording is available in many languages. Staff were friendly and efficient.

This little train tour is a cute way to see the town of Lucerne pretty quickly (about 45 minutes),…read morebut it does have its drawbacks too. The little blue and white train arrives to pick up the passengers, and you will all get packed in quite tightly. Each row is a two person seat, so if you're with a friend or significant other, just squeeze in together. But I could see it being uncomfortable for two strangers to sit by each other so close. The train car itself is quite low to the ground, so you also sort of feel like you're in a kids' ride at the fair. Aside from the tightness and uncomfortable seating situation, it's actually quite a nice ride around Lucerne in a quick snapshot. You will pass the iconic Chapel Bridge, see lots of cute shops and sights, and ride along the gorgeous Lake Lucerne. There are headphones that give you the facts about what you're seeing as you pass by each spot. The fact that it's an open air, slower rolling train gives you more of a chance to get some good photos. For an affordable price (about 12 CHF), and a good amount of time on the train that you get for that amount, I think it is definitely worth it, even with the few drawbacks I mentioned.

Nice tour of the lake. Comfortable boat- upper and lower decks. Food and drink for sale on board…read more I like the tour- headphones can be tuned to most languages, and the tour of the lake was helpful and interesting. We bought the upgrade with the City Train Tour- thought the train tour was a complete waste of time. Wish I'd skipped that. It doesn't go in the old town, and we didn't learn much. Just wasted an hour. Felt the tour on the lake was very good, though. Wasn't wasted time. Great opportunity for photos.

Luzern boat tour from Alphnachstad was a beautiful trip we did while returning from Mount pilatus…read more You could do the reverse trip, too. It's one of the most beautiful scenic boat rides we did. Europass eurial had discounts to this route. We did first class with more spacious decks than second. Overall, it doesn't matter. Must recommend this to spend 1 hour of ride when you are in luzern. The small neighborhoods in each stop are so beautiful to watch.

It's a boat that both the locals use to get to nearby cities on Lake Lucerne and tourists use to…read moreboth get around and see the wonderful scenery. Your SBB Half Fare card as well as any Swiss Passes are also valid here. Even on a cloudy December day, the views were great, seeing the winter wonderland views of the surrounding mountains. If you're headed to Rigi, definitely take this to Vitznau as you can connect to the train that departs shortly after the boat arrives (you can even purchase point to point tickets from SBB that includes the train as well.)
