5.Rhine Falls, Chocolate and cheese factory (KTZ373)

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $154

Travel from Zurich to thundering Rhine Falls, then return south for Swiss chocolate, Appenzeller cheese, and a short visit to Appenzell. The driver-guide handles transport and admissions, while the factory visits are largely self-guided. The optional Rhine Falls boat ride costs CHF 10.

“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.”
