★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 148 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $245Our pick

Zurich to Appenzell for farm milk, Appenzeller cheese tastings, and a cable car to Hoher Kasten with big Alpine views.

“Our guide, Franz, was knowledgeable and patient. The view at the top of the mountain was breathtaking. I appreciated the cheese tasting at the cheese factory. We had plenty of time at each place. When we visited Appenzell, we were given freebies in 4-5 shops. I felt like I was trick or treating at 51 yesrs old… cool! LOL. To me, it did worth the price. I would recommend.”

3.Private Guided Hike on Mt. Rigi with Farm Visit and BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $789Top rated

Private guided hike on Mt. Rigi from Lucerne with a farm stop, BBQ-style lunch, 360 views, then a scenic boat return to town.

“We like seeing hidden gems when on vacation and this was definitely one. We loved getting to hike on some lesser traveled pass and get up close and personal to the roaming cows. Having Mark do a bbq in one of the outposts was a wonderful and unique experience. Taking the ferry back was an unexpected bonus that allowed the trip to really show all aspects of the area.”
