Discover Swiss Charm: A Scenic Tour of Rapperswil, Einsiedeln, and Lindt Chocolate Delights

Castle, Cheese & Chocolate

Embark on a scenic coach journey along the stunning shores of Lake Zurich to the medieval town of Rapperswil, often called the "City of Roses." Here, you’ll enjoy a guided walking tour through charming streets, explore beautiful rose gardens, and admire the iconic castle perched on a hill, offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding landscapes. After some free time to relax or enjoy a lakeside meal, continue your adventure to Einsiedeln, one of Switzerland's most significant pilgrimage sites. Visit the Benedictine monastery and marvel at the renowned Black Madonna.

Next, enjoy a guided tour of the Milchmanufaktur show dairy, followed by a delightful cheese tasting. The highlight of the day awaits at the Lindt Home of Chocolate, where you can snap a photo with the world’s tallest free-standing chocolate fountain. Immerse yourself in an interactive tour of the chocolate museum, enjoying unlimited chocolate tastings along the way. Finally, visit the largest Lindt Chocolate shop, perfect for picking up souvenirs before returning to Zurich with your guide.
