Wear sturdy walking... - Wear sturdy walking shoes. There was a lot of uphill walking, so a water bottle is also a good idea. Lots of beautiful scenery and photo opportunities.

Wonderful tour! - Beautiful day with fabulous views of the Alps and Lake Zurich, churches, castles, interesting sculptures, and a delicious lunch! Our guide, Carsten, was very knowledgeable. He was also flexible and able to give us more time at the places we wanted to spend more time and a little less when we were all ready to move on. I was able to see and experience everything on my list for this tour! I also was able to find the souvenirs I was looking for and get the passport stamped! Big thank you to Carsten!!!

Amazing tour - This tour was unforgettable thanks to Walter and his Serbian driver. They weren’t just guides — they made the whole group feel like one big team. The energy was so positive, the organisation was perfect, and the knowledge about history and Swiss culture was impressive.
But what really stood out was their kindness and generosity — and the humour! I don’t think I’ve laughed that much on a tour before. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. If you’re thinking of booking this trip, do it — you’ll have the best day.

Excellent service. Will certainly book other tours. - Excellent service. Kind and well mannered staff and bus driver. Will certainly book other tours again. Very informed tour guide. Since the weather permitted, tour bus climbed higher, to permit us to visit Heidiland.

Tour starts too late, skips listed stops, and has a ridiculous no food/drink bus policy. - The tour starts far too late, which makes the whole experience feel rushed and poorly planned. We also did not visit some of the places that were clearly mentioned in the description, which was very disappointing and misleading.
On top of that, the policy of not allowing any food or drinks on the bus is ridiculous, especially considering that we spent most of the tour inside the bus. If you’re going to keep people seated for long periods, at least allow basic comfort like water or a small snack.
Overall, the experience did not match what was advertised and could be significantly improved with better timing, clearer communication, and more reasonable policies.

Ok but only ok - Guide was very information. Rapperswil was charming. But after that the trip went downhill. We drove through heidiland but no offer to stop for photos, not even when in her village. Then went to vaduz and was given 1 hour which was way too long. There is nothing to do. People will killing time in the coop. And then we drove back and had no other stop. Very disappointed
Scenery was stunning and guide said good stuff but we felt robbed for the cost of the trip as didn't visit heidiland village or the other place.

Too little time at Liechtenstein - The tour spent too much time at the first two stops (the medieval town and Heidiland), we got to Liechtenstein close to darkness and only had 1 hour to explore. Tour starts at 11am, don't know why it starts so late....So if your main purpose is to check out Liechtenstein and don't care about the other two stops too much, you should probably go by yourself...
