Heidiland & Liechtenstein Day Tour From Zurich

This tour runs from 1100-1830 and is 100% not enough time. This tour, if keeping all stops, should depart at 0700. It's supposed to be a Heidiland tour but in the end we had about 20 minutes at Heidi's house and that was done at speed. I was excited to visit Liechtenstein, but again only 45 mins was allowed - not enough time. Also we arrived to Lichtenstein at 1600, a time when everything is closing. Not great timing. This tour comprised of two tours in one - something I wasn't aware of. Part one was a tour of Zürich (why?) and then an hour (!) in Rapperswill - cute town with a rose garden. The guide held lunch at a restaurant with importance. We'd travelled for only an hour. With such a late departing tour, lunch at a restaurant should not be a priority. So after that, half the bus caught a boat back to Zürich and we carried on. That part of the tour was a massive waste of time. I would have preferred going directly to Heidi's house, spending at least an hour there and then going to Liechtenstein for at least 2-3 hours and maybe getting to see anything in Vaduz besides the souvenir shop and "a great place for cake and coffee". Why does this tour leave so late and spend less than an hour in the places you actually want to see? Why is a tour of Zürich tacked onto the front? Who wants to spend an hour of time waiting for people to finish eating at an expensive restaurant? I grabbed an apple pie from mc Donald's. 10 mins max.This tour either needs an earlier departure time or the first half needs to be removed because it is a waste of time. The guide was also not great. Pointing out places to eat and souvenir shops. Telling lame jokes on the bus in amongst tiny snippets of Swiss facts, which were repeated on the way back to Zürich!! He also said tips were appreciated. No. I felt I needed to google all the questions that I had.PLEASE. More time for Heidi and Liechtenstein. We don't travel all the way here and pay just for one hour of rushed time.

Nice tour. You see a lot in one day!

It was a great way to see a lot of Switzerland in a day. Unfortunately the weather was unbearably hot, but the air conditioning on the bus was great. The stops in Rapperswil and Vaduz were great. I was not aware that to get to the Heidi House we had to walk up a mountain over half a mile. If the heat had not been so bad, I don't think I would have minded. Great day out.

Not enough time in Liechtenstein
