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.

Pretty solid Tour - Pretty solid tour, I thought the actual places could’ve offered more things to keep the clients more intrigued. Unfortunately I went on a Sunday so when we got to Appenzeller most of the shops and things were closed.

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.
