It was beautiful. I really enjoyed the animals in Heideland. I booked this trip for Liechenstein. I dont like how the animals were treated by the tourists. especially the children. The parents didnt care what they did. I have a picture of a boy trying to stuff a toy in the goat's mouth. The goats finally ran away and the child chased them outside of their pen. That was very disturbing. The attraction need to monitor the animals that they arent being abused.

We had an awesome experience!! Raymond was a wonderful tour guide, and Mark was a fantastic driver. I loved getting to see parts of Switzerland that we wouldn’t have ordinarily gotten to from Zürich, and Raymond made the trip even more interesting with the information that he provided. I loved getting to go to Liechtenstein, too. Overall, a wonderful excursion!

Good trip overall. Departure point and first stop at rapperwill were the best parts. Unfortunately, our main purpose for this trip was Heidiland for our little daughter and trip was marketed as Heidiland, mainly. However, we barely had one hour at Heididorf to rush to walk all the way to the site, visit 4 houses, and visit a very busy gift shop. Then, Leichenstein visit was brief and really unnecessary. There was nothing to visit but a gift store. Stores were inexistent. I strongly recommend to alter the itinerary to focus more on Heidiland and give it a lot more time. The site and the scenery at Heididorf were amazing and unfortunately we could not truly enjoy it.
