Nice drive in the country - We did this tour on our last day in Switzerland. It was great for us as we were all tired. This trip involved a pleasant drive to Appenzell and a view of the beautiful countryside. If we had tried to do this by train, it would have been quite a journey and this was much simpler. The chocolate & cheese shops were standard for those kind of tours, but everyone was very friendly. Our driver was excellent and the ride was so smooth. Most tourists fell asleep on the ride.

Chocolate, cheese and GREENERY - Having lots of free time to do what we wanted. It was a your at our own lace. Tour guide gave us a time to be back at the bus so we got to take the chocolate and cheese tour at our own pace. Took lots of pictures and tried lots of samples. What I liked thr most is that neither of the places made you buy items. Overall great value if you want something short, sweet yet informative.

Fantastic trip - The experience was fantastic, especially the chocolate factory. The cheese was delicious in the Appenzeller tour, however there are no English translations on the tour. The town of Appenzeller was beautiful, although be prepared with a raincoat or umbrella, as the weather is very changeable.
