Review of the Heidiland and Liechtenstein tour from Zurich, with Rapperswil, Vaduz, Alpine views, winter tips, timing, and value advice.

“This was excellent! We had bad weather and it was raining a lot, but it was still one of my favorite parts of the trip. The bus was comfortable and had wifi, and even the scenery during the ride was beautiful. Our tour guide and bus driver were both very friendly and made the experience a great one. You had time to explore each stop, and there was not too much to do in Valduz, but I am still very happy I went and got to see another country even for a bit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it.”

Soar above Interlaken on a tandem paraglide from Beatenberg, with Lake Thun, the Jungfrau peaks, and a gentle landing in town.

“This was amazing, must do! They have you meet at the office, then ferry you up the foothills in a van. The pilots match with you and do all the prep. After harnessing, you jog in tandem with your pilot to achieve lift. 15-20 minutes of sailing then touchdown. Amazing views. My wife and I tell everyone that it's been a highlight!”

Paddle turquoise Lake Brienz from Bönigen on a small-group kayak tour with expert coaching, castle views, photos, and optional evening calm.

“We had the most amazing time on our kayaking trip - it was absolutely gorgeous weather and the water almost didn't seem real. We were so glad we did it and well worth the price! There were six people in our group total, and after a short safety run through we hit the water for 2-3 hours, including a stop where we got out and jumped in the water. The guide also brought a go pro camera and took lots of photos so we didn't have to feel bad about leaving our phones in the lockers. Highly reccommend!”
