The pace of food and drink was not overwhelming but we finished the tour fully satisfied. It was a great substitute for lunch and a lot of fun.”

2.Chocolate and Cheese Tour in Appenzell

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 224 reviews · 6.5 hours · from $102Best value

Travel from Zurich to Maestrani’s Chocolarium and the Appenzeller Schaukäserei, then spend time in Appenzell or St. Gallen. Your English-speaking driver handles the road and tickets, while you explore the exhibits independently, taste chocolate and cheese, and enjoy Swiss countryside views.

“Lovely easy day trip with three stops. The chocolate museum was nice - especially for kids. The cheese tour was interesting but not too much to see, mainly the cheese shop at the end. The drive to Appenzell was incredible, lovely scenery and the town is very picturesque. Our tour was on a Saturday and all the shops closed at 5pm, and we arrived around 4:30 so we didnt really have time to look around and shop, which was a shame, We would have liked another hour there, arriving earlier. The driver was very friendly and handed out bottles of water which was nice. Overall a lovely day.”
