Delight in some real Swiss traditions on this full day coach trip from Zurich. Even those pressed for time will find this tour is an ideal way to experience scenic Swiss country life up close. Even better, you'll travel in a personalized small group with a maximum of 16 people!

Your tour starts with a short city tour of the upcoming and trendy district of Zurich West. Walk past the renowned university and the Museum of Art before you head to the heart of the Old Town. On your way to the Lake of Zurich you will pass by the beautiful Limmatquai and the Fraumunster Church. A great shopping opportunity awaits you at the out-let shop of the world famous Lindt factory outlet shop  - a must-do for chocoholics.

Continue your tour to Rapperswil, well known for its impressive medieval castle before you reach the picturesque village of Appenzell. Take a guided walk past decorative houses, before enjoying approximately two hours at your leisure for your own exploration. You may choose to visit the Appenzell museum for a closer look at traditional Swiss customs or enjoy a local speciality at one of the cosy Appenzell restaurants.
