Appenzell Alps day trip from Zurich with a Swiss farm, Appenzeller cheese tastings, and a cable car up Mt. Hoher Kasten for big views.
“Our guide, Franz, was knowledgeable and patient. The view at the top of the mountain was breathtaking. I appreciated the cheese tasting at the cheese factory. We had plenty of time at each place. When we visited Appenzell, we were given freebies in 4-5 shops. I felt like I was trick or treating at 51 yesrs old… cool! LOL. To me, it did worth the price. I would recommend.”

“This is one of the best food tours I have been on---so much delicious and varied food from Switzerland (come hungry), with an amazing 7 stops at speciality food shops and restaurants. The quality of the food was unsurpassed, but what made the tour stand out was the warmth and enthusiasm of our guide, Ioanna. She gave a wonderful tour and her love of the food, people and the City of Zurich was evident during our time together.

2-hour Zurich walk with a local, hot drink, and Swiss chocolate tastings, plus stories and cafe tips to make your sweet stop count.
“This tour is a total rip off. You do not do what is advertised. All we did was walk around Zürich and go to four chocolate stores and he would buy us candy. We didn’t learn anything about Zürich. Other than the fact that it was a nice day to go swimming. It was a huge waste of money. The guide was very pleasant, but clearly hadn’t been trained And was not a professional guide.”
Zurich chocolate tasting walking tour with a local, four chocolatier stops, Swiss history, samples, and a hot drink. Small group.
“This was the worst tour we have ever had. The guide was late and unprepared. He was looking at his phone for directions on where to go. I don’t think he had ever been in any of the chocolate stores. He couldn’t tell us what was good about any of the different chocolates. We would have been better off just going on our own. It was so bad we ended the tour early.”
