Zurich day trip to Rapperswil, Vaduz, and Heidiland or Werdenberg, with Ricken Pass views, castle stops, and Liechtenstein stamp time.
“Excellent. Loved the ride to liechenstein. Had plenty of enough time to see each place and the guide shared a ton information about every part of the trip. Lastly, Got my passport stamped in Liechtenstein which was a few euros.”
Zurich to Rapperswil, Vaduz, and Heidiland (or Werdenberg in winter) by comfy coach with Alps views and free stops.
“Great tour and value for the price! The tour guide and driver, Raymond and Drago (sp?) were fantastic, and all the stops along the way were great! Heidiland briefly reopened for the holidays, so we ended up visiting after all! I didn’t pay to enter the houses, but enjoyed walking the grounds and enjoying the spline scenery. Vaduz and Rapperswil were also lovely, with those stops were 1-1.5 hours for free time. Lunch is recommended for Rapperswil, but you can choose to eat later in Vaduz if you prefer - just decide based on when you’re hungry!”
From Zurich, taste Swiss chocolate at Maestrani’s Chocolarium, sample Appenzeller cheese, and spend an hour in Appenzell for mountain views.
“there was just two of us along with the driver. so it felt like a very personal experience. I wished we could have tried the fondue in Appenzell.”
Zurich day trip to Appenzell: farm milk tastings, Appenzeller cheese at a show dairy, and Hoher Kasten cable car views.
“A good trip if you want to escape from Zurich city. Cheese factory and farm visit was nice. However, after that the appenzelle city tour was boring and we literally had nothing to do. The trip to Hohen Kaster mountain was also very boring. Instead of this, they could have taken us to Aescher which was more interesting. Some activities should have been included in the second half part of the trip to avoid boring walks. Our guide Monica was awesome and she did everything in her capacity to keep us engaged”
Private Zurich day trip covering Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland with hotel pickup, a Rhine Falls boat ride, and a passport stamp.
“Such a fun way to see four countries in one day! We got a passport stamp in Liechtenstein, grabbed coffee and pastries in Austria, walked through a local farmer’s market, had amazing Italian food in Germany, and checked out the stunning Rhine Falls in Switzerland. It was such a great day, we even learned a bit of German along the way!”
Small-group Appenzell day trip from Zurich with a Swiss farm milk tasting, Appenzeller show dairy, Hoher Kasten cable car views, and chocolate.
“Fun day, lots to visit. Small group tour, was only 4 of us so we could be more flexible with our time at each place. The countryside is lovely and Hoher Kasten had amazing views. The revolving restaurant was nice for lunch”
Private day tour from Zurich to Appenzell and Liechtenstein with chocolate stops, Rhine views, and passport stamping in Vaduz.
“Personal service and flexibility going to multiple locations and changes on the fly due to bad weather”
Solve puzzles and follow the fox on foot in Rapperswil’s old town on Lake Zurich with Foxtrail Baccarat in English for about 2.5 hours.
“Perfect for getting to know the beautiful Rapperswil or rediscovering it. Even as a local, I learned new facts. Children also have fun.Auto-translated”
Private day trip from Zurich visiting Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, with Lindau and Vaduz plus scenic drives.
“The best part of this activity is our guide Shabbir. He’s very skilful, knowledgeable and helpful. Very accommodating and allowed us flexible time. The places we went to were all amazing. Crossing borders several times within the day and visiting nearby countries - this is the better way to do it. And the weather cooperated - not raining despite of the forecast so we got to enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended.”
Open-top Zurich city views plus chocolate in Flawil and cheese in Appenzell, with time in St. Gallen and UNESCO views.
“Thanasis was a delightful, entertaining and obliging guide for our chocolate and cheese tour. He made the day engaging and memorable for us. The tour was well organised and there was a good balance between the travel time on the bus and time to visit the sites. Would highly recommend Swiss tours!”
A 2.5-hour Foxtrail in St. Gallen that mixes trains, monastery views, and puzzle posts. Great at the right difficulty.
“Beautiful trail with great attention to detail, where you can see St. Gallen from its most beautiful side. The famous monastery can also be seen from different perspectives.Auto-translated”
St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban is a techy walking scavenger hunt and puzzle game near Bahnhofplatz, with helpline support and tricky clues.
“An exciting tour, you get to know the city and can solve exciting puzzles. It is often quite difficult though, we often had to look in the puzzle help.”
Private 8-hour Rhine Falls and Appenzell day trip from Zurich with hotel pickup, guided towns, scenic countryside raclette lunch, and Toggenburg.
“Great guide Marc was very communicative before the trip and during the day, where we viewed the Rhine falls and the eastern part of the lush mountains of Appenzell, including the village, a cheese factory, a chocolate factory, and a picnic. Highly recommended, you could never do this much in 8 hours without a guide, and we all had a great time.”
Day trip from Zurich to Rapperswil, Einsiedeln, and Lindt in Kilchberg with roses, Black Madonna, cheese tasting, and chocolate.
Door-to-door private day trip from Zurich to St. Gallen and Appenzell with UNESCO Abbey Library, chalet-town walking, and optional Mount Säntis views.
“The driver was very nice however the whole thing was very unorganized. Majority of the time we didn’t know what we were doing and would just be dropped off in a parking lot, and would be told to “go over there”. One of the museums we went to was closed the day we booked it and the tour operator never told us about it, made alternate arrangements or reimbursed us. We also didn’t receive any entry tickets until after we were dropped off at the location. For one experience, we were never even give. any tickets even though we were there, it was open and was part of the tour.”
