4.00We had an awesome experience as first time skiiers. The check in andbus ride and the tour guide (konrad) was soo good. Very imformative. My sticker received at checkin(like ID)drop of half way thru the trip. AT Mount Titlis, everything was organized and all staff friendly. I didnt see any lockers to store your shoes/ personal items after changing into ski gear...i think they should add a pic taken person. During sking to one to take your pics...lol.... Overall its was fantastic!

5.00I am delighted with the tour. The organization was perfect. Our tour guide Marianne informed us bilingually about everything worth seeing and knowing. Marianne did a great job! Bravo and thank you Marianne. Although the weather on the Titlis was not really nice, lots of fog, everyone was more than happy. Thanks for the amazing tour and the excellent tour guide. Always happy to return.
Snow Experience add-on is a waste of money

3.00Overall this tour was okay, but the snow experience add on was a waste of money. We were told to get off the cable car at the first stop and there would be a staff member to help us. This was not the case. We wandered aimlessly and eventually asked two different employees and neither knew about it. There weren’t even any signs to tell you where to go. I wish the guide had gone with us to show us where we were supposed to go. Having wasted almost an hour, we gave up and just went to the top of the mountain. The views were spectacular, but I wish I hadn’t spent an extra $60 for something I didn’t even get to experience. Also for the first stop in Lucerne, you only get about an hour which was hardly enough time to walk to the lion monument and back to the bus before it leaves. Other than these two disappointments, the rest of the tour was decent. The guide was friendly and spoke multiple languages including English.
Rip off..

1.00I cannot recommend this tour due to severe communication issues. Upon check-in, we were instructed to await a Mt. Titlus employee to escort us to the snow experience area, as per the brochure. However, no staff members were present upon our arrival, leaving us stranded. Despite the tour guide's directions, we were unable to locate the designated area, as the building was obscured by snow. Our attempts to seek assistance from mountain staff proved futile, resulting in wasted time and frustration. Despite my request for a partial refund for the snow experience, it was denied. This disappointing experience has deterred me from booking with Viator in the future. Despite its high cost, the tour failed to deliver, echoing similar sentiments expressed by other reviewers.
