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 .”

“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. I had a day off from business trip to Zurich and signed up for this tour as I wanted to go see the mountains. It was a perfect day trip itinerary and a great way to go to Jungfraujoch solo. A tour was very well run. Our guide, Eduardo, was very knowledgeable, friendly and great at communicating what to expect. A bus ride was comfortable, and we had a smooth travel to the top and back. We had a plenty of time once we got…”

“The actual excursion was fantastic. However, two excursions were combined and the guide went with the other excursion. Our group was left on their own. Guide did try her best to give us instructions; however, in reality would have been nice to have a guide and since, I believe, it was listed as a guided tour.”

“The trip was great, Tony made everything so we can feel comfortable and enjoy our trip. The bus was very nice with panoramic windows and roof. We had an opportunity to visit Grindelwald even though it wasn’t a part of our trip, and we even liked it more than Lauterbrunnen, which was too crowded. Harder Kulm is beautiful and worth visiting, we can’t wait to return to Switzerland and see other beauties! I want to say more thanks to Tony, he is a good person, who loves his job. Also, pay attention that it’s not a guided tour, you have a driver, who can tell you something, but not the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 72 reviews · 9.5 - 10.5 hours · from $233

Review of the Bern countryside day trip from Zurich or Lucerne, with Old Town, Kambly biscuits, Emmental cheese, and scenic Swiss valleys.

“Nice day out, comfortable mini-bus, firstly a stop at the biscuit shop, every biscuit (maybe 20 or more) has loads of samples, can eat a LOT of biscuits for free. Do buy some though ;) Next Bern with one hour guided tour was cool. Then free time I went up the cathedral for a view, LOTS of narrow spiral steps, first level has almost same view as very top, my legs are still hurting now, grabbed a sandwich at co-op, sitting in sun, chatted to a local (as you do), friendly people . Next cheese tasting, lovely to try different aged cheeses and relax for a bit. Guide was great…”

Review of the Zermatt and Gornergrat day trip from Zurich, with train details, costs, guide tips, weather advice, and honest value.

“Two city trains and two cog wheel trains to get to the top of Gornergrat and Michael coordinated it all perfectly. He even ran ahead each time we changed trains to make sure we were able to get a good seat. The multiple train rides were worth it when we arrived at our destination…the top of Gornergrat! What breathtaking beauty! The sun was shining so we had a perfect day to see all the peaks including the Matterhorn. Michael took so many great pictures of us. It was like having our own personal photographer with us! Michael suggested we have lunch on the outside terrace. It was 37 degrees Fahrenheit…”
