Tour Options
Itinerary
Check in for your tour at the bus terminal Sihlquai and board the coach. The journey begins with a round trip along the most important sights of Zurich.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Please note - in wintertime, you'll visit the quaint Swiss village of Werdenberg instead of Heidi's village.
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!

Great timing at each stop and getting to see a lot outside of Zurich. Loved seeing the 6th smallest country.
Our tour guide Walter was amazing, his English was perfect, knowledge was spectacular. He was kind and caring. Our bus driver Milan was very courteous and friendly. The places we visited were splendid and breathtaking. We enjoyed visiting Heidiland after watching the cartoon,we enjoyed visiting the smallest country in Europe, Liechtenstein. Overall and amazing experience.
I really wanted to visit Lichtenstein being one of the smallest countries in the world just to say I had been there which I did and the time there was good Instead of catching a train by ourselves there we decided to do a tour I was not a fan of Heidi land to me was a waste of time and I would have rather spent more time elsewhere but for some and families with young children it was probably a highlight
I enjoyed the tour. I did not know we were stopping at Rapperswill. But that town was nice. Heidi land was a disappointment. I was surprised the entrance to the 3 buildings was an extra charge. We spent about an hour in Lichtenstein. I thought the tour descriptions stated we would send 2 hours there. Ramon dud a good job as our guide.
Didn’t have enough time on the back end (Heidiland and Liechtenstein ). Recommend the tour skip touring. Zürich.
Great scenery. Beautiful views. Visiting another country was a plus. Narration was great. The storks were my favorite thing.
Wonderful experience!Comfortable coach.Very nice sceneries along the way.Wonderful guide and driver.The tour itself is a must.Brought back a lot of memories.
The trip was well organised and enjoyable. It was well run and the tour guide and driver were very good
Great to experience a bit of the countryside on route. I would bring along snacks as there is not much time to stop for lunch.
Tour was outstanding! Rapperswil was absolutely beautiful with great views of scenery and lakes. Heididorf was charming and you go through Maienfeld to get there. Liechtenstein was wonderful because you get time to explore instead of standing around doing nothing like other tours do. The guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and spoke clearly and concisely with an added bonus of a tour of Zurich. You will love this tour!
