1.Swiss Cheese Fondue & Wine e-Tuk-Tuk City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 168 reviews Our pick

Zurich eTukTuk tour with Swiss cheese fondue and wine, rolling through Old Town sights by the Limmat in 1.5 hours.

“We loved the novelty of the activity and that the Tuk Tuk could drive into the small alley ways. we were tired from allot of travel so it was a great alternative to seeing Zurich by foot. The only critism is that the price only included one bottle of wine for four people over 1.5 hours. we had to pay (allot) for 2nd bottle. Overall, a fantastic & memorable experience!!”

2.Appenzell Alps Day Trip from Zurich – Farm Life & Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 148 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $245

Appenzell Alps day trip from Zurich: farm milk, Appenzeller cheese tastings, Hoher Kasten cable car views, and a guided town walk.

“A good trip if you want to escape from Zurich city. Cheese factory and farm visit was nice. However, after that the appenzelle city tour was boring and we literally had nothing to do. The trip to Hohen Kaster mountain was also very boring. Instead of this, they could have taken us to Aescher which was more interesting. Some activities should have been included in the second half part of the trip to avoid boring walks. Our guide Monica was awesome and she did everything in her capacity to keep us engaged”

The tour provided ample free time to venture out on our own. As temperatures dropped below zero degrees, the tour was more interesting with the occasional snow. Overall, the tour was awesome.”

Rhine falls was awesome, we couldn't believe that its not part of one of the seven wonders! The chocolate factory... amazing. You can create your own chocolate and see how everything was made. And same with the cheese factory - in the end we bought a truffled cheese that the flavour is ridiculous, so good. Thank you guys so much!!”
