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.
