An interesting, varied tour away from the big tourist streams. TOP
The day tour «Castle, Cheese and Chocolate» is an interesting, varied tour. Starting with a visit to the beautiful town of Rapperswil on Lake Zurich with its castle, rose gardens and lake promenade with many restaurants. Then followed a beautiful drive through the gentle, green hills over the Etzel Pass to Einsiedeln. After visiting the imposing church followed a visit to the show cheese factory where we learned a lot about cheese making. A treat is the cheese and sausage tasting at the end of the tour. Worth a visit is also the beautiful shop with many local products and valuable souvenirs. Afterwards we headed back to Zurich – again and again with a wonderful view of the blue «Zürisee» – where we visited the famous chocolate museum in Kilchberg; a must for every chocolate lover! We had plenty of time everywhere to explore the sights in detail. The tour guide Monika deserves a lot of praise. She makes the top with a lot of commitment and great knowledge and background information about the history and culture of Switzerland. I can only warmly recommend the tour to anyone who wants to explore the diverse Switzerland away from the huge tourist flows. Just dead from A to Z!

Varied, wonderful day tour!
Super varied tour. The leadership in diary/cheese making was top, including excellent catering. Absolutely recommend the whole tour, Rapperswil is very pretty and also the monastery Einsiedeln is impressive! Not too much speed, I personally appreciated that. Top tour guide!

Highly recommend!
An excellent full day of exploring! Started w/a visit to a beautiful hillside farm and hearing from the farmer his day w the cows, complete w seeing them walk back up the hill and past us for the milking line! Cheese samples and seeing how it’s made, pastry samples, chocolatier explanation of how his company makes their very own delicious chocolates using local ingredients and samples! A ride up to the top of Appenzell in Hoher Kasten, tram ride. Enjoyed a delicious lunch while rotating 360 for views, although it did become cloudy at the top. Then toured a beautiful town, complete w shopping time. We did it all! Thank you Monika! You were the best!!
