Traveler reviews
Castle, Cheese, Chocolate
The views of the country are beautiful, the castle with such history and the views overlooking the city are spectacular! Plus we were there during a biking festival. We witnessed Mass in the 10th Century Abbey in the Canton of Schwyz. The tour of the cheese making process with Tracy was so interesting, she has such a fun personality and the cheese was delicious. To top it off a visit to Lindt Chocolate Factory - the history of inception, the wide variety of truffles and other chocolates were heavenly! And last but not least was our amazing informative driver and tour guide Gallus! He pulled double duty driving and explaining the sites so he should receive double pay! He did a fantastic job!!! Highly recommend the tour!!!

The Swiss C-Suite: Castle. Church. Cheese. Chocolate.
This was such a fun and relaxing day to spend with my wife and friends! The views and rose garden at the Rapperswil town were amazing. We had lunch there, a suggestion would be to look for the restaurants in advance, we went to an italian one, was very good. From there we went to the Einsiedeln Abbey baroque style monastery, then close to it the highlight of the day CHEESE tasting, they teach you how it's done and you get to taste a bunch of products, the best thing is that you can tell is very local and they are very proud of it. Finally, a short drive to CHOCOLATE, no words to describe it, you have to taste it.
