What our guests say
Sep 2025
Went solo, mostly for Liechtenstein, but Heidiland surprised me—SO GREEN, like something out of a storybook. Our guide Anna was super patient with all my random questions. Crowd was bigger than I hoped (esp after lunch), and we had to hustle a bit at the end to get back to the bus. Wish I could’ve stayed longer in Vaduz, but all in all, worth it for the castle views and that quirky post office stamp!

Rapperswil stop was nice but way too short. Heidiland was cute for photos, but honestly, I didn’t know the Heidi story (felt like maybe I missed a joke?). Liechtenstein was cool to tick off my list but a bit sleepy. Guide was helpful but felt like we were on a schedule the whole time. Not bad if you want a sampler platter, but felt a bit rushed.

Did this with my partner and our two teens—they were grumpy early but perked up at the castle in Vaduz. LOVED the countryside drive, honestly the views are EPIC. Our guide, Hans, had the best dad jokes (my kids rolled their eyes, I laughed). Only downside, not enough time to poke around Heidiland's farm area, but still got some cute goat pics. Highly recommend for families.

Took my mom for her birthday—she LOVED it. She kept taking pics of every single flower in the rose garden at Rapperswil. Guide told us all these little facts you won’t get from Google. Liechtenstein is tiny but getting my passport stamped felt so extra. Bring snacks for the bus, stops aren’t super long.

Really enjoyed the train vibes through the Swiss countryside. Heidiland was almost too cute. We got some rain in Vaduz but still wandered around the souvenir shops. Our guide seemed to know everyone, which made us feel like locals. Only thing, the lunch stop was RIGHT when I wasn’t hungry, so I just had cake.
