Zurich to Lake Lucerne transportation

[travelteach326]

There are about ten of us arriving in Zurich Airport this July. I know that we can take a train from Zurich to Lake Lucerne. Does anyone have any recommendations for a private mini bus or van company that we can take instead of the train? We would prefer to take a bus with a driver rather than the train.

Why you want to miss some of Switzerland's greatest scenery by avoiding the train puzzles . Travelling by mini bus you will not see the vista of Switzerland you will see from the train .

 

Also there is a mainline SSB station at Zurich Airport and IIRC it is possible to travel direct from the Airport by train to Lucerne via Zurich HBF station . Check out this website for timetable info :

Train services from Zurich HBF to Lucerne run every 30 minutes, journey time 40 - 50 minutes.

One of the 2 trains every hour is direct from the airport without having to connect in Zurich. The train at :47 past the hour goes direct, and takes 1:02. The one at :13 past the hour takes 1:12.
