1.Appenzell Alps Day Trip from Zurich – Farm Life & Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 148 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $245Our pick

Leave Zurich in a comfortable Mercedes minibus for a Swiss farm, Appenzeller cheese tasting, and a cable-car ride to Mt Hoher Kasten. Guides such as Martin, Monika, Peter, and Franz add local stories, while Appenzell brings painted facades, shops, and regional treats.

“The best thing about this tour is the good service and interesting commentaries provided by Karen. However , much improvement needed for the visit to the cheese and chocolate sites. In particular, there was no tour conducted at the Chocolate site. It was a stop over for purchase to be made. Best to include a detailed guided visit of these two sites and information about the making of Chocolate and cheese.”
