    It is fantastic and very informative. Travelers should know that the first part of the tour involves some rigorous climbing of various steps. It is a full day of adventure. Prepare your taste buds.

  • Amazing discovery of a low key tour

    The city was very nice, but you cannot go in the castle as it’s a private venue. However, the view from the top is well worth it and the time in Rappersweil was more than enough. The monastery was very busy due to it being Good Friday, but was able to hear a service and it the church was beautiful. Lots of tourists and and very busy due to it being Good Friday. The cheese tour was amazing and the cheese taste amazing. The chocolate tour was well worth it and you really got to eat a ton of chocolate! Martin our tour guide spoke amazing English and was very passionate about his job. The group was small with 10 people and we traveled in a nice spacious van.

  • Beautiful and fun tour!

    Excellent day trip! All the stops were so beautiful and interesting. It was a great way to see the countryside, along with a couple scenic towns. The chocolate and dairy experiences were fun! Monika was our tour guide and she was very informative and attentive. I would highly recommend this day trip - it was lovely, we did not feel rushed, and we had so many unique experiences.

    Our guide Christian shared a lot of information about Swiss history prior to arrival at each location. We were met with a different guide at the dairy who was very enthusiastic about cheese production in Switzerland.

  • Very nice day trip

    We had a wonderful experience with Best of Switzerland Tours, and our driver-guide Monika Buser did an excellent job throughout the day. She drove safely and professionally while providing clear, engaging explanations about the places we visited. The tour was diverse and very well timed. We first explored the charming old town of Rapperswil, then continued to Einsiedeln to visit the impressive monastery. From there, we went to a regional cheese dairy — a cooperative of local farmers unique to this area — where we enjoyed an informative tour with great insights into the production of yogurt and cheese, and plenty of time for photos. The day concluded with a visit to the Lindt chocolate factory. Overall, it was a varied, well-organized, and highly enjoyable tour.

    Great tour and one of the best that I’ve enjoyed in Europe. The tour guide Mr Peter Muller was very kind and informative. I’ll never forget his kindness and help and I wish him all the best

    Peter was a fantastic tour guide and host. There were only 4 of us so very personalized. Can't believe we got so much in during this tour. Learned how to make cheese then treated to charcuterie tray and wine. Visited Lindt candy facility, no shortage of candy. The city of Raperswil had the beautiful cathedral with the Black Madonna (prettier than one in Barcelona Monserat). We were never rushed, plenty of time to Shop or eat. The best tour so far.

  • Great tour!
