The journey begins with a round trip along the most important sights of Zurich. - Rapperswil Rose Gardens - Along lake Zurich you will then travel to Rapperswil and visit the castle with its rose garden and the deer park. You will also have some time at leisure to stroll through the picturesque Old Town.
- Vaduz - In Vaduz, the capital of the tiny Principality of Liechtenstein you will have more time at leisure. A visit to the Post Office is recommended; the famous stamps from this tiny state are coveted worldwide by philatelists and amateur stamp lovers alike.
- Heididorf - After a drive through the Rhine Valley we finally arrive at Maienfeld, the setting for the Heidi stories. In the summer months you visit Heidi’s village. A pleasant short walk leads to a collection of typical mountain houses, a village shop, and of course lots of little goats. Entry into the authentic Heidi House is optional.
- Zurich - A beautiful trip back to Zurich along the banks of Lake Walen, guarded over majestically by the Churfirsten mountain range brings to a close this most nostalgic of Swiss tours.
- Werdenberg - Please note - in wintertime, you’ll visit the quaint Swiss village of Werdenberg instead of Heidi’s village.
- Ricken Pass - Then after crossing the Ricken Pass with its panoramic views of the Alps we reach the lovely Toggenburg region whose pretty hill and valley scenery is perfect chocolate box material!

Family Excursion. - So my wife loved the Animated show Heidi. And I must say If you’re watched Heidi as a kid. This is epic. Our guide was amazing and we saw things we weren’t expecting to see. The little town and church we went to on the way made the day more exciting as well.

Perfect for Heidi fans and a great way to see Liechtenstein!!! - This tour offered us the perfect way to see Liechtenstein in a day. We wanted to visit this tiny country but there are not too many ways to get there. This tour provided just the right amount of time to see Vaduz, Liechtenstein. The stop at the Heidi village was also a major highlight for my wife as she grew up watching the Japanese anime version. She felt so nostalgic viewing the cabin. The setting in the hills is perfect. We also enjoyed the stop in Rapperwill. Overall this was a perfect day trip from Zurich with just the right amount of time in each spot.

Comfortable guided bus... - Comfortable guided bus tour thru Zurich with 3 stops in Rapperswil, Heidiland, and Lichtenstein. We wish there was a little more time in Heidiland as it took time to purchase tickets in the gift shop in Heidiland….there happened to be a long line that day. You can see the village of Heidiland without tickets for free…but need tickets if you wish to go inside the houses (4 houses to explore)
If you bring your passport with you, you can go to a shop in main street to get an official entry stamp from Lichtenstein for 3 euro.

Overall pretty good - Tour guide was informative and helpful; however we didn’t quite expect the walking tour in Rapperswill and chose not to join (it was a big group and I don’t feel the walking tour worked). Heidiland was busy but really interesting, totally recommend this if you enjoyed the story or the various TV adaptations. Litchenstein was well worth a visit. Not quite a 5 star tour from us but still
interesting and so much beautiful scenery.

Very informative but... - Very informative but exhaustsing. There was more walking then we hoped - walking up hills and steps and the temperature was close tp 90 degrees, so it got uncomfortable. The guide was good, however either he was holding the mic too close to his mouth or the speaker system needs repair. Everything the guide said inside the bus was muffled. When he spoke outside we could better understand him.

Despite the unbearable... - Despite the unbearable heat, this was an enjoyable tour. Getting out of Zurich to see such beautiful scenery makes this excursion worth the time. Our guide Raymond was very pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. Time spent at each stop was appropriate. Shops being closed on Sunday in Liechtenstein made that trek less enjoyable but it did result in another passport stamp.

nice but easily could be better - This trip could easily have been a five but they need to skip the Zurich part of the tour, which from a bus is lame, and skip Heidiland altogether. An extra hour to explore Rapperswil-Jona would have been awesome instead of a rushed lunch and missing much of the town, and an extra hour in Vaduz to enjoy the cafes and walk the streets would have been great as well. One star for each of those and the three becomes a five. Bus was clean and comfy. Staff was friendly.
