“A nice way to see to a couple small towns plus Lichtenstein. The scenery was the real treat in winter. I would advise that you are aware that on Sunday most things except restaurants are closed so no going into browse in shops.”
Farm milk and Appenzeller cheese tasting, plus Hoher Kasten cable car views, from Zurich. Small group, transfers included.
“We liked being in a small group in a van after touring in a large coach for several days. Our guide was very nice and knowledgable. He stopped the van so we could get pictures of the gorgeous Swiss countryside. Unfortunately Monday was a holiday so we were unable to visit the chocolate store however we did enjoy the cheese tasting. The clouds closed in while we were on the mountain but we still enjoyed the limited views from the top. Appenzel is a very picturesque Swiss village.”

Highly recommended, you could never do this much in 8 hours without a guide, and we all had a great time.”

“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.”
