I was born and raised in Luzern. But once in a while I take the City Train with my students. This…read moretime also I went with my students, the subject that day was "Tourism", so it was fitting to ride the City Train. Students get a special price. Just 5CHF a person. A great deal. Even including a pair of headphones that you can keep at the end of the ride. Staff here always does an amazing job. Always very friendly, in good mood and providing some extra info and entertainment. The ride goes along many big sights of course. But also a part is in the "Neustadt" (the newer part of town). I found that very nice, also to show a bit lesser known and popular parts of the city. The ride takes 45mins. There were many seats empty, even though it was a picture perfect sunny day. You can just show up and hope for empty seats or pre-book on their website. For bigger groups surely a thing you should consider. Even if you make a reservation, you pay when you arrive - no payment needed in advance. The audio guide offers a big number of languages, also a kid-friendly guide in german. The train rides also on wet days, but of course it's a lot more fun on a sunny day. It's well worth the price. The guides do a great job here. We will definitely be back.

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.

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.

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.)
