A "Must Do" experience
How many adjectives can I use for this tour....incredible, awsome, outstanding, breathtaking are a few but do not do it justice. The Rhine Falls is a must see for anyone visiting Zurich. Our tour guide, Christina, made sure we saw it from every angle. Christina's knowledge of history and facts was evident throughout our tour. Her personality made the tour so enjoyable as well. She was always willing to adjust the tour to our interests...but everything she had planned exceeded our expectations. Stops at several villages, including Appenzell, were amazing and included an occasional tasting of local fruit and cheeses. A breathtaking picnic at the base of Mt Sãntis was another highlight. It included traditional Swiss fare, sparkling wine and Swiss chocolate. I couldn't have been more thrilled with experience. Finally, a big shout out to our guide, Christina. She was well organized, attentive, knowledgeable and very personable. I highly recommend this tour. It may seem pricey, but it is worth every penny....or in this case franc.

A picture perfect tour!
We had a wonderful tour with Christina! It was our last day in Switzerland and the tour was the perfect way to see the beautiful areas outside of Zurich. Christina was so delightful and had many interesting stories and facts to share with us. From the falls to an amazing picnic lunch at Säntis (the "baby alps"!) and the charming towns we visited, the day was great. Our picnic even included a surprise for wedding anniversaries we were celebrating! The company really went out of their way to tailor the experience for us. I highly recommend this tour and be sure to request Christina!

Magnificent day getting out of the city
Great guide Marc was very communicative before the trip and during the day, where we viewed the Rhine falls and the eastern part of the lush mountains of Appenzell, including the village, a cheese factory, a chocolate factory, and a picnic. Highly recommended, you could never do this much in 8 hours without a guide, and we all had a great time.
