From Zurich: Rhine Falls, Chocolate & Cheese Tour

The rhine falls was wonderful. Don’t do the pink tour. Not worth it the boat drive spent more time talking to his female companion along for the ride and you go to the boarder and you don’t even know you were in Germany it was not mentioned as we pass the line. Then the chocolate factory tour was uneventful. No one to answer questions and explain anything about the factory. You just walked through it and had a bunch of chocolate samples. There was some signs to read about the family. Don’t book on a weekend because no machine were working. Then the cheese tour they gave you a box with 5 small cheese samples and again you walk through trying to read the QR code you scanned eat the cheese and walk though the plant. You spend more time looking at your phone than seeing the plant. They also gave you a bag of herbs which ended in the garbage. Highly recommend a different tour

Amazing Tour! Worth every penny! Love it! The Rhine Falls was spectacular and the Chocolate Factory, Cheese factory tour was delightful. Love the Swiss Countryside.

Best part of our trip to Switzerland! Cheese and chocolate factories are a little more kid driven than adult driven but still enjoyed them.

This was a lot of fun. Was not so hot. Loved the Rhine Falls! Do not miss that. Bring your walking shoes.

This was an amazing day. We got to experience so many unforgettable places to see.. our tour guide was very informative, and very experienced.

The places this tour visited were amazing--especially the Rhine Falls and the Chocolarium. The guide was very friendly, and the bus was comfortable. However, we hadn't read the description carefully enough and didn't realize that we would be going back to Zurich for a short stop in the middle.

Excellent the trip to Rhine falls was breathtaking I highly recommend the extra excursion under the falls

Going from Zurick to and back to the Falls is a total loose of time (1 hour each way). Our driver was a very nice gentleman but I would have expected more information about the places we were visiting. Also at the cheese and chocolate factories there are no guided tours so it's up to you to learn the processing of this products. I use and recommend Viator, however this time the tour did not meet my expectations.

We enjoyed this tour. The Falls are beautiful and well worth the visit. We added the rock boat tour to get up close to the falls. The cheese factory was interesting, but their self guided tour was a bit confusing. Loved the cheese though. The chocolate factory was great. Very interesting and lots of samples. This tour has just a driver, not a guide. Our driver was great, but I would have liked a guide since we spent a lot of time driving on the bus, with beautiful scenery, but we didn't learn anything about what we were seeing while driving.

Poorly organized, very long trip. Guide is a glorified driver- did not share any information with us. Rhine falls are beautiful but the other two stops are a waste of time, especially with a guide who doesn’t actually tell you anything.

We did not get to see the cheese factory in operation nor did we get to see the chocolate factory in operation. I would not have booked this part of the tour if it has stated that when booking it. Very disappointing. The Falls were lovely.

Rhein falls was the highlight of the tour. The driver/guide was informative. Then it went downhill from there. We got back on the bus with no indication of what was happening. Once we returned to the bus for the next part of our trip, our driver/guide seemed more interested in talking to his tag a long friend than informing the group of anything. We got to Appenzell at 5pm when the shops were closing. I’m not sure what the point of this stop is when it’s not long enough to have a meal & no shops are open! Your drivers should always be .00% alcohol as well!

The places were good but the tour management was poor: 1. Pickup was not easy to schedule. Despite buying tickets with pickup, I had to call and email and wait for confirmation. 2. Pickup was too early. We were picked up at 7:30 am and made to wait for half an hour at the center where those without pickup had to arrive. 3. Drop-off was quite late because we had to go to the bus station and return to our hotel even though I had politely pointed out that our hotel is almost on the way there anyway. 4. The driver missed the exits/routes on multiple occasions. Twice while going to the chocolate factory and once while going to our hotel. 5. We were late to the chocolate factory due to the bus missing the route twice so they were rushing us from the start saying that they’re closing at 6 p.m. 6. We booked a full day tour but the driver and guide didn’t give any information about lunch. In fact, the guide got dropped off at his hotel after Rhine Falls and we were taken to the bus station! The driver didn’t even know at first that we had two more activities (chocolate factory and cheese factory). Only upon showing my ticket, he verified and confirmed that we have it and can wait!

Excellent tour. The driver was amazing and the rhine falls are majestic. Highly recommend to do the boat ride. The chocolate and cheese factory were amazing. Switzerland is like heaven on Earth Masha'Allah

Thanasis was our guide and he was FANTASTIC! So funny and good driver, recommending us good things to do and see. Rhine falls was awesome, we couldn't believe that its not part of one of the seven wonders! The chocolate factory... amazing. You can create your own chocolate and see how everything was made. And same with the cheese factory - in the end we bought a truffled cheese that the flavour is ridiculous, so good. Thank you guys so much!!

Rhine falls was a wonderful experience and highly recommend it. The chocolate tour was good to see the assembly line in action, good chocolate. There was a lot of kids the day we went which made it a bit more challenging. Cheese factory was ok but nothing special and by time we got to Appenzell we had had enough of the day and went to a brewery to sample some beer and whiskey. We ended up about 40 minutes late getting back so it was about 10 3/4 hours. Beautiful countryside The driver was excellent and the tour guide that left after Rhine Falls was also good. A bit too long of a day on a bus. I would choose 2 shorter tours

Good trip. Nice scenery. But the complete trip was more like 10 hours not five. Great driver. Last stop-Beer!

The Rhine Falls trip was spectacular- small group and a lot of freedom- the driver was great- very friendly and helpful. The second part of the tour was not good- the chocolatorium was geared for children, not adults and was very corny - a bit like a Willy Wonka tour. The cheese tour was just OK- hard to follow with the QR code and tasting box. The highlight of the second trip was to Appenzell but we barely had time to see it because people needed to find a place to eat- the combined tours are too long - over 11 hours and a lot of drive time.

The views at Rhein falls were amazing. Thanasis was a great driver and guide, he took us all down to the falls and explained where we needed to be, showed us the walking route back and the boat options, he even took lots of pictures for us. We also went to Appenfallen for the chocolate and the cheese tours and they were a lot of fun. Thanasis told us some facts about Switzerland on the journey and recommended his favourite cheeses. Both tours were self guided with interactive elements and we had cheese and lots of chocolate to try on the way round. Would definitely recommend this day trip.

The tour didn't start well. When we were booking, we had the option of hotel pickup. We selected it. But on the morning we still haven't received any confirmation about the pickup details. So we contacted the tour operator that when they told us that that pickup is not available. So we had to rush to find how to get to the meeting point. That wasn't pleasant. Then we got to the meeting point, it was so hard to find our tour as there was no signs or flags or anything. There were other tours as well and we had to go and check with all tour guides until we found it. That was also the comments from everyone coming on the bus "oh finally found it". Much better organization is definitely required. As for the tour itself, it was ok. The Rheinfalls are magnificent, the chocolate factory was good as well as the cheese factory. Then our last destination was a stop in Appenzell, this was a ghost town, we did the tour on a Sunday, and everything was closed except for 2 restaurants. This was a waste of time. Again, the tour operator should know that and remove that stop on Sundays tours. It is not a bad tour, but the operator needs better organization.

The chocolate and cheese factories were already done with manufacturing in the afternoon. It wasn't worth the time or money. Maybe if they did those in the morning and we could have seen the process it would have been interesting. Overall the driver was OK, he gave information when asked but I didn't appreciate the various lectures on our time, when we were a few minutes late due to the events lines. And stating he gave us extra time that only 45min were allocated for the chocolate, 1 hour was allocated and no extra time was given except the 5 min we were tardy due to the events slowness. Also, why give extra time at cheese facility if everyone was done in 15, except for staying to let children run around. And lastly, why weren't the emergency bathroom children allowed to use the bus bathroom vs. Stopping.

The trip was great but I almost missed the whole thing with 1 minute to spare. I had a difficult time identifying the meet-up spot because there were too many big busses in that parking lot. No one from the tour was identifiable and the other tour vendors on site were not going to help at all 😩

Very nice tour. The waterfalls are gorgeous. Our guide Tony was a great guy and very helpfull. Would definitely recommend.

Really helpful and cheerful guide cum driver! Appenzell is a must go destination, especially the old town. The chocolate factory has really interesting exhibition and free samples of chocolates! The cheese factory sells really great tasting cheese and they are really cheap!!!
