So Glad to have taken this tour!!

This was a very nice tour. Raymond, our guide, and Lawrence, our driver, did an outstanding job of taking care of us and guiding us through the tour.

100% recommended ,...

100% recommended, suggestion: it should include the pass to see Heidi's little house since if you want to buy it there you have long lines. The time to better visit the place should also be extended. We were lucky to have a guide who explained things to us and was always attentive to the group. Thank you very much

Decent tour

Our guide was very personable, but a bit of a fast walker. That said, he was considerate enough to wait for the slow ones in the group. There isn’t much time to see inside the buildings at Heidiland. Tickets aren’t included in the tour, and the line to buy them moved very slow.

Best of both worlds! Lichtenstein and Switzerland

Walking and lots of it, including a slightly steep incline walking to get to Heidi’s house. Be prepared for later than scheduled arrival back to Zurich as traffic can be an issue later in the day

Charming. It reminded me of my childhood when I read Heidi and I imagined the place as something magical and of an immense beauty.

What you are going to find in a magical and very picturesque place. If you know the story of Heidi, you will relive it.
