Switzerland is beautiful...

Switzerland is beautiful and especially when visiting Rapperswil, Heididorf on the way to Lichenstein. The tour guide was knowledgeable, however, with so many Spanish speaking tourists Spanish was spoken more often than English. I would suggest in the future having separate guides for English and Spanish tourists.

Beautiful scenery and Liechtenstein

The first stop was a medieval town called Rappswil. It was very charming. Our Tour Guide had given us a recommendation for a restaurant, and they had very good “cheesecake“ —what we would call quiche. We next stopped at Heidiland, a rather kitschy reproduction of the home of the protagonist of “Heidi.” The best part of this was the view of the Alps. Then we went on to Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. An easy to walk small town. They will stamp your passport if desired, for 3 CHF. The ride back was quite scenic as well. It was a day well spent.

Very short trip to Liechtenstein.

Very little time in Liechtenstein and a lot of time in a certain Heidiland. I believe that few outside of Europe should know what this Heidi story is about. Liechtenstein should be the main focus of the tour because it is a country and we didn't even stay there for an hour.
