★★★★★★★★★★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”

Other than the fact that it was a nice day to go swimming. It was a huge waste of money. The guide was very pleasant, but clearly hadn’t been trained And was not a professional guide.”
