Review of the Zurich to Heidiland and Liechtenstein bus trip, with Rapperswil, Vaduz, Alpine views, seasonal stops, costs, and tips.
“Lovely lovely day . Our guide Raymond made it special. His commentary and guidance were fabulous. They even took a detour through the mountains to avoid traffic delays. The quaint little town of Rappswil and the recommended restaurant to eat the savoury cheese cake were fabulous. The bus was super comfortable.Heidi land was nice ,it was our good luck that the various alpine homes were open ,so we got to go inside and see life as it was at the time. The visit to Vadoz was marred by awful weather. Getting a passport stamp in the tourist office was fun. Over all a lovely lovely day. Thank you .”
Review of the 12-hour Zurich to Jungfraujoch tour, with cable cars, cogwheel trains, glacier views, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“It was absolutely amazing as it was sunny all day. We got to see the fantastic views of the Alps covered in snow. Also, we saw the water falls on the way down from the scenic train.

Thank you once again for letting us have a perfect time.”

“I am so glad I signed up for this tour. It was a magnificent day filled with amazing view and wonderful time in Swiss Alps.

Review of the Mount Titlis half-day trip from Lucerne, including cable cars, Glacier Cave, Cliff Walk, prices, timing, and practical tips.
“If you want to be herded around like cattle, this is the tour for you. So unorganized I couldn't find my correct tour. No signage, just guesswork on where to go. Double decker bus with the masses pushing and shoving to get on. Bus was hot and stuffy. Kids everywhere. I was miserable from start to finish. Mt Titlis was beautiful. But the facility was dirty and drab. Very unwelcoming”
