Add to Cart
Greet your expert guide at a central Zurich location and climb aboard an air-conditioned coach for a panoramic tour of Zurich, a city considered Switzerland’s cultural capital. Admire the rich architectural array and hear tales of Zurich’s prosperous past before travelling the Rapperswil, a charming medieval town known as the ‘City of Roses’. 

On arrival, marvel at the towering turrets of the medieval castle and then enjoy some leisurely free time to explore independently. Return to your vehicle and capture panoramic photographs of the Alps as you cross the Ricken Pass and arrive in Toggenberg, a gorgeous region replete with swooping valleys and beautiful mountain scenery. 

Next, cross the border to Vaduz, capital of the minute Principality of Liechtenstein, and spend more leisurely free time discovering the charm of the city. Visit the Post Office to catch a glimpse of its highly prized stamps and then return to the coach for the short journey to Maienfield, the stunning setting of the Heidi stories. 

Take a pleasant stroll to a collection of mountain houses and absorb incredible views of the surrounding mountains. Opt to visit the Heidi House at your own expense and then gaze at the picturesque banks of Lake Walen as you travel back to Zurich by coach. 

Please note: In wintertime, visit the quaint village of Werdenberg instead of Maienfeld.

Overall very good tour. Ana (tour guide) did a great job. Would have liked to have spent more time in Rapperswil and Lichtenstein and less/no time at Heideland (to see any of the rooms was extra cost).

Great tour

Barbara was a really good guide, very knowledgable. Armando was a great driver maneuvering that bus. Overall it was a great experience. I would have liked to do it on Saturday, as I originally planned but I understand you can't just take me and my daughter on that big bus. I liked that it wasn't a packed tour either but that could change also as restrictions ease up. My daughter and I had a great time.

Great Value!

We went on the tour in March in the midst of the coronavirus hysteria. The tour was very reasonably priced (especially for Switzerland!), the tour guide was good and the sights were beautiful. Because of the season, we skipped Heidiland-which honestly was fine with me. The towns we visited were so incredibly beautiful and we were brought to places I never would have discovered on my own. Bring your passport, and you can have it stamped in Liechtenstein for $3. It was the perfect amount of time for a tour and everything about it was well planned and thoughtful. Not a lot of walking, so ideal for any age.

The drive into theAlps

The trip was excellent and our guide was very knowledgeable. I don’t remember his name but he is from Mexico and living in Switzerland for 27 years so knows a lot. Only thing was the Heidi’s house was closed until March 15th so I wish we could have spent more time in the nearby town that came right before Heidiland.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!! It was nice to have Urs as a guide. As he grew up in the areas we visited he was able to give us first knowledge and tips about the area. The scenery along the way was breathtaking. We highly recommend this tour to others.

My boyfriend and I flew in for one day from Paris (we’re from NYC) and went straight to the tour- I am very happy we booked this tour as it made that one day spectacular! We did not visit heidiland since it was closed but still drove through the town and visited the fountain. Our guide Peter was very kind and fulfilled our curiosity as our driver Armando was also very kind and a great driver.
