Rapperswil
1 hr
You will start this full-day private trip right from any suitable location for you in Zurich. Sit back and dive into the fairy tale with extensive valleys, crystal blue lakes and untouched fields. You will have a stop at the Swiss medieval Town of Rapperswil, which also known as the “Town of Roses”. Over six hundred varieties of roses bloom here from June to October, turning the whole place into a dreamland. Here one can also admire the charming castle along with the Lakes Zurich and Obersee. The castle was built in the early 13th century on a rocky hilltop. It is surrounded by the present cemetery chapel and the former Stadtmuseum of Rapperswil.

Vaduz
1 hr
The most important landmark of this city is Vaduz Castle itself, which is the palace and official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein. It was constructed in the 12th and underwent a major restoration in the 20th centuries. Unfortunately, it is closed to the public eyes as the princely family still lives there. The Cathedral of St. Florin, Government House and City Hall are also noteworthy sights. They are displaying different styles and periods of architecture.

Natural beauty of Lake Zurich, Heidiland, the Alps
Our guide, Payam, was so knowledgeable of the history and culture of the area. He was a wonderful, gracious host who was so low-key but also lovely company to spend the day with. He was flexible and followed our lead. We had an amazing day enjoying the nature and beauty outside of Zurich while my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. We are so grateful.

Exploring 4 countries in a Day like a Pro !
A must do while in the Zurich area … Payam took me into a journey of learning and exploring across 4 countries in a day! Besides getting amazing memories and pictures , I got a wealth of local insight blended with history and current events.

Lichtenstein here we come!
No trip to Switzerland is complete without getting to the small country of Lichtenstein 😀. And we were very lucky to have Payam as our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of Switzerland and many other places around the world. We had a great day seeing more of lake Zurich, visiting Lichtenstein and then experiencing Heidiland - move over Shirley Temple!

Our first trip to Liechtenstein was special during festival.
The countryside and lakes were beautiful and Vaduz was fascinating with its ongoing national festival. Seeing Liechtenstein was a first and a treat.
