1. The trip was good and had amazing natural beauty.
2. Not the best trip in the winter as the daytime is short and you may have to travel in the bus in the darkness.
3. Book the tickets online from Viator instead of directly buying from the bus terminus. Online is cheapest.
The tour was an absolute pleasure.

Our tour guide was English speaking, which was great. She was knowledgeable, and clearly pointed out places of interest. We weren't constantly having to listen to a spiel, and we could relax and enjoy the environs as they passed by. We especially liked visiting Vaduz and Heidiland.

The trip was great. We saw so much of the beautiful countryside, the part I was a little disappointed with was the length of time left for Heidiland. We only had half an hour! I would have liked to have a bit more of a ramble, apart from this, the guide was perfect.

This was a really nice day out! The only disadvantage was spending less than an hour at the Heidi Village, after all: this was the purpose of the trip!

Totally great trip. Beyond expectations. The tour took us to Liechtenstein, but we had only thirty or so minutes to walk around. We saw a lot by bus, but when we got out and walked around it was short, still the trip was amazing. Maybe a way to solve this is to start earlier than 11:00 a.m. Maybe start around 9:00 a.m. and give us more time in some places. Our travel guide was really cool as well and had a lot to say about where ever we went. I fully recommend this tour if you want an easy excursion outside of Zurich.

I'm pretty amazed by the language talent of the guide. She spoke very good and clear in every language!

We felt a bit rushed. They should have made it a longer with more time at each stop.

There were many areas that would have been nice to stop and take pictures rather than taking them from the bus window.

We thought that too much was crammed in to a short time. The first stop was a waste of time, and everything was closed as it was a Monday! We spent only an hour in Vaduz, which was any near enough, and only forty five minutes in Heidiland, and included in that forty five minutes was climbing the hill to get there, the shop, and just fifteen minutes inside the house, as it going to close at about 5 p.m. In view of the bad weather we needed more time in Heidiland. We also were in such a rush we didn't time to have lunch the whole day. The start of tour in Zurich was too long.

I expected more from Heidiland other than just a shack with a couple of goats. The tour guide and the scenery were good.

The sights were fantastic. But, the guide was not very good.

Our tour was supposed to include time to enter the Heidi House. We arrived with enough time for a member of the group to RUN to the house and plead for them to stay open long enough for us to have five minutes to run through. By the time we'd gotten through the shop, the museum had closed. Our trip also returned an hour and a half later than the time advised on departure and in the brochure. As we traveled from New Zealand for this with our Grandmother specifically on this tour to see Heidi's house, it's an old favorite story of hers, we were INCREDIBLY disappointed and would not hesitate in advising anyone traveling there to hire a car and do the trip on their own.

We waited over thirty minutes for the tour to begin only to learn that it had been canceled! Since the bus had already started for another tour we decided to stay on. The tour was okay but NOT what we wanted.
