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.Swiss Cheese Tasting Experience | Basel

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 166 reviews · 40 min · from $19Best value

Taste Swiss AOP cheeses in Basel at Chääs und Schoggi Huus. A guided 40-minute tasting covers history and young vs aged flavors.

“This Cheese Tour was absolutely fabulous. I had NO IDEA there was such a depth of things that go into good cheeses. Leena was extremely knowledgeable about it all and we learned a ton. And bought some to take home. We paired this with their Chocolate Tasting session and learned even more. The location is indeed a bit off the beaten path and a bit small. But it was really, really worth the visit. Don't let the Google Maps "Temporarily Closed" notice confuse you. Google does that because they don't have fixed OPEN hours, but are rather by appointment only when they get bookings.”

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

3.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”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · 35 minutes (approx.) · from $21

Swiss cheese tasting in Basel: Gruyère AOP and local favorites, up to 7 samples, small group, 35 minutes, English guide.

“In less than six hours of our schedule the vendor delayed the time of the event. While the time change was for an hour for the first event and a second event delayed 30 minutes it still negatively impacted later plans we had so we missed this event. While on a prior walking tour of the town we walked by the shop. The shop was closed and the shop did not look very reputable so we were very disappointed. This venue seems far below the standards of the other Viator tours we have done.”

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.”

“Thanasis was our guide and he was FANTASTIC! So funny and good driver, recommending us good things to do and see. 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!!”

This tour was a great way to see, learn, & eat a lot of what Switzerland has to offer in a short amount of time - absolutely recommend this tour - even with careful planning I couldn’t have set this all up myself. Enjoy!”
