From Zurich: Chocolate, Cheese & Countryside Tour

Very nice scenery and welcoming people!! The driver was very accommodating and thoughtful about time and comfort.

I booked this because there was very little walking. It was a fun tour and the scenery was fantastic. Miro the driver/guide was very good.

More for people with children. Countryside was amazing. Driver very nice. Chocolate factory boring for adults .

Great trip Tour guide very knowledgeable and friendly

We booked this last minute and it was amazing! We saw a delightful village, an entertaining and engaging chocolate factory and a delicious cheese factory. Our guide, Gabriel, was terrific and packed a lot into the trip without feeling rushed. It was great way to see beautiful Swiss countryside.

Gabriel was a great tour guide. It was a cozy ride - not a very large group. Half day. The Appenzeller area/town was really beautiful. I wish we could spend a little more time there.

The description said we would go to St Gallen. When booking the tour I messaged the operator to see if entry to the cathedral was included and based on the response I purchased tickets for the cathedral. However, the tour did not go to St Gallen at all. This was my primary reason for booking the tour so I was very disappointed. The driver was very nice.

Perfect for a rainy day, we took a very clean , new bus with 3 other couples to the cheese factory, Appenzell and Chocolarium. The driver got us where we needed to go safely and handled all the tickets for the tours. Would have preferred to had more time in the town to explore and maybe catch a bite to eat. I would recommend if you take this tour to rush through the cheese factory to the gift shop to get a charcuterie board and beverage, otherwise you will be hungry. Make sure you do try the brewery in the town as the beers are most excellent. Chocolate factory was neat to tour, make sure you bring home some for later, my friends are still remarking on how good it was. Tour bus driver just drives the bus, no conversation or commentary. No big deal, but just a heads up if you are looking for history or backround, you will get it all from the factory tours.

This is a delightful half day tour to see a chocolate factory, a cheese factory and the beautiful town of Appenzell. Our tour guide Thanatos was the best. He was so knowledgeable and fun.

Some photos supplied by the tour provider were not reflected in the actual tour. I showed the bus driver the photos and he mentioned that the beautiful scenery that I expected was not in the same area. I also did not get to see some others in photos as I was told it's due to the season, but there was no note about it. On the other hand, there was a note in the itinerary about adjustment would be made, but it did not happen. I was dropped off at where all shops were closed, quite dark due to earlier sunset and nothing much to see that I just sat down, wanted to leave the place earlier. The bus condition and the drive were alright, but the tour itself, i.e., what I saw overall was kind of disappointing compared to what I expected based on the tour provider photos. About the taste of chocolates and cheese, they're so so to me which could be subjective based on individual taste - the cheese place was also quite small, but I was more disappointed as I did not get to see the beautiful scenery and others which I thought would be the surrounding of the visited places. Some of those provider photos were truly misleading.

This was a good experience - Learning about the country side and the Happy Cows was amazing. The chocolate factory was lots of fun (more for the kids) but great to taste some true Swiss Chocolate. The cheese factory was very busy and it made it hard to see everything Still a great experience learning about the "Happy cows" and the cheese is excellent. Funky, unique and tasty. We brought a lot home to Canada, would recommend a small cooler or the ability to ship it from the store as our fondue cheese didn't travel as well as hoped.

Couldn't have been more disappointed in Keytours Switzerland. Received an email from them a week before we left, then received an email from Viator the morning of the tour with two different times. Their operation at the Zurich bus station was confusing and lacked direction. Several couples did not know which bus to get on and no explanations were supplied. Our tours in Germany and Rome were great, but not with this company.

Everything was excellent and on time. Highly recommend. There was a challenging couple on the bus that were angry about someone taking “their” seats and the driver handled with diplomacy.

The driver needs an instructor that can inform tourists about the culture, history and customs. I believe a person cannot do all the job

The chocolate factory and and cheese factory were interactive and lots of tasting options. What I enjoyed the most was it was self guided and you went at your own pace. The tour guide gave you a time to be back at the bus. You had to manage your time wisely. Other than that great value for the price. I'll definitely book again

The Chocolarium and Appenzeller were good but because of the time of day nothing was open in Appenzell so that was disappointing.

We went on this tour hoping to have a guided tour - as per the description. Sadly, all we got was a ride to the Chocolarium, a ride to Appenzeller cheese, and a ride to the closed little town. Closed? We picked this tour because it was running on Sundays. But we did not expect that it was only a bus ride to the locations. At least offer some insights. At least offer what the description promises... So in the end, if you really want to go on a bus tour, do this. Else, save money. Go to Sprungli and go out for fondue. You will save time, save money, and have so much more fun!

We went on a Sunday so even though we were able go and walk through, the factories were not running so we couldn’t see chocolate or cheese being made. The drive through the countryside was beautiful and stop in the little town was nice. I would suggest you go during the week so you can actually see things being made. We still enjoyed it.

Wonderful trip! The cheese and chocolate factory were interesting and the samples delicious. The small town was beautiful! Great alpine views.

We have amazing experience. We loved every single moment of this trip. Appreciate the hospitality and the driving skills of the bus driver.Thank you so much!

There was nothing to see. The factory was closed and there was no show how they make the cheese or the chocolate. Appenzeller was nice to visit and bus driver was nice also.

It was vey interesting and unique experience.We all love Chocolates and Cheese but seeing it being produced,the details and the pains taking process that leads to the final product!

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.

Tony is a very kind and chill driver and tour guide. We didn’t feel rushed and had a good time during our tour. I would recommend him and this tour to anyone.

The Trip was not as we expected. The factories were not working and deserted. Just shopping in the stores. There was no fun at all.

The history of the company how it started and the chocolate process. It was a fun, interesting and informative experience.

Called the tour operator to make sure which bus and they were very responsive ! Our trip was at 1:30 and the bus came about 1:10 and had key tours writing on it. The trip had 3 stops : chocolarium, cheese factory and Appenzell. Overall satisfied with the tour, bus had air conditioning and the road trip had amazing views!

This tour included 2 locations and both offered loads of good information, along with their tasty samples. The tour guide was very nice and the businesses' employees were great. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The Switzerland trip was breathtaking: stunning landscapes, pristine lakes, charming towns, excellent public transport, and delicious food. Highly recommended! Wonderful view and good service. The view was beautiful

Our driver was super friendly and courteous to everyone. He was full of recommendations and suggestions. Every destination was unique and high quality. The Chocolarium ... amazing! Appenzeller Cheese ... delicious! I layover in Zurich frequently and I would consider doing this again!

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.

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.

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.

todo fabuloso , el bus bueno, buenos los guias , el paisaje maravilloso y los sitios como uno lo esperaba

Conocimos y degustamos un poco de estas delicias suizas. El bus era muy comodo y limpio. El guia fue muy amable
