Return Details

Returns to original departure point
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 to 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 Heidi-Village.

For families, couples, or even solos, I strongly recommend this experience. A light program with multiple stops that allows you to take a breath, explore many interesting places, have some food, and most importantly memorise your day with photos. Excellent guide and driver, always attentive to passengers security and comfort.

I went to Grindelwald instead, recommend it
Yvonne_U
, Dec 2021
The Heidiland tour was cancelled due to not enough people for the tour. I was offered a refund or to join a different tour taking place the same day and they were very flexible with it. I eventually went to Grindelwald, a beautiful town on the mountain with a ski resort. The tour guide was very nice and very carefully explained the itinerary and meeting points for everyone and made sure that, as a solo traveler, I would get some good pictured taken.

Day trip to Liechtenstein

Barbara and Armando were excellent hosts and Barbara was so knowledgeable, I learned a lot before we even left Zurich. The trip was very well organised with a comfortable coach. The views en route were stunning and we were glad of the ability to get off the coach and walk around before we reached Liechtenstein. We both really enjoyed the day.

We do not normally book coach day trips but did was we wanted to see Liechtenstein and it was well worth it. There were several stops with plenty of time outside the coach to explore on our own. We had a great day despite the cold foggy weather. The time at the Vaduz Christmas Markets was wonderful!

Amazing trip

Amazing trip. Lichtenstein was lovely, so was Heidi land. Anna is a fantastic guide and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We visited Rapperswil, Lichtenstein and Heidi land in this trip and we had sufficient time in all three places. Just one suggestion, requesting for donation on the loudspeaker in the bus is not nice.

Fantastic tour! Our guide Barb was so knowledgeable and friendly. It was a small group and she got to know us individually and finished the day by helping us plan out our next activities in the city. This tour is by far the best tour we had in Zurich.
