A way to see Liechtenstein

The tour was good. Our first stop in Rapperswil was really interesting. A beautiful town to walk around. The recommended place for lunch was good. Heididorf was ok. We had great views and it was nice to walk around. We didn't pay to go into the buildings. Liechtenstein was nice and I would have liked at least half an hour more to explore Vaduz. It was an easier to get to Liechtenstein compared to public transport, just not enough time there for us.

4 Tours in One

This excursion provides an opportunity to get an overview of Zurich before heading out of the city to see more beautiful places. Tour guide and the driver of the bus were amazing. The tour was in English, but the tour guide speaks 4 languages. Bus was modern, clean and equipped with WiFii. The town of Rapperswil was lovely. Beautiful architecture. Heidiland is located in a beautiful setting. The landscape along the drive is breathtaking. We were disappointed in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. We went on a Saturday and most of the shops were closed. The town was empty except for tourists like ourselves on bus tours. It felt like a souvenir stop. You're not there long. We had just enough time to walk from one end of the town to the other and visit the Cathedral.

Beautiful ride

The trip was interesting because I had read the book Heidi. Besides that, I took the opportunity to meet Lieschenstain.

Great experience! Our...

Great experience! Our guide Walter Speirer and driver Xavier gave us the best experience exploring! I loved the opportunity to stay with Walter or do a little of our own exploring. He gave great information during and between stops.
