Best Old Town Tours & Trips

Maintenance of cable cars causes long lines and wait times.

The day started off great with Best of Switzerland Tours starting out on time from our coach park in Zurich which was 5 minutes walk from our Central Plaza hotel. Franz our tour guide advised us on arrival that there was maintenance being done on the cable cars and that there were lines going up as well as coming down. (Now you tell Us!)It took nearly one and a half hours to finally get up to Mount Titlis, and the same amount of time to get back down. The lines were long and the cable cars filled to maximum capacity (read that as being packed in like a can of sardines!)The restaurant at the top was also packed and people resorted to eating their meals on the stair steps. The view was poor due to weather conditions which of course we had no control over. In hindsight I would have loved to have known that maintenance was taking place during this shoulder season. I could have made a better decision as to whether to go or not.
