Traveler reviews
Great day out
This was a great day out, we had an excellent guide Gallus who was courteous and knowledgeable. Great value with lots of yummy treats of cheese and chocolates. Good mix of things to see and taste in terms of an introduction to switzerland. Rappersill is beautiful, gorgeous views of lake zurich. The monastry was also a hidden gem. Thoroughly enjoyed my day.
Great guide and tour!
Our tour guide Konrad was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, told jokes while we sat in traffic and played really good music! The fondue and cable car ride were awesome! The Lindt home of chocolate was a fast stop but it was an adequate amount of time. The only bad part of this tour was the meeting place, we had a hard time finding the van among all the giant tour buses.
Having it all
This was an excellent combination for a day trip out of Zürich. Countryside and quaint village, cheese, chocolate. Such fun. Our guide Andi was informative and delightful. Small group experience was wonderful. Highly recommend.
Varied types of stops,...
Varied types of stops, enjoyable. The cheese and yogurt making plant was really great and the tastings were fun.
Good day out
It was a good trip but I thought the time at the castle was a bit rushed and then we had too much time at Lindt. The driver was our guide as well. He was good. I went on this trip because I wanted to see the Abbey and that was wonderful.
