“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.”

“We like seeing hidden gems when on vacation and this was definitely one. We loved getting to hike on some lesser traveled pass and get up close and personal to the roaming cows. Having Mark do a bbq in one of the outposts was a wonderful and unique experience. Taking the ferry back was an unexpected bonus that allowed the trip to really show all aspects of the area.”
