Review of a private Zurich trip to St. Gallen and Appenzell, with Abbey Library access, hotel pickup, pricing, sights, and practical tips.

“The driver was very nice however the whole thing was very unorganized. Majority of the time we didn’t know what we were doing and would just be dropped off in a parking lot, and would be told to “go over there”. One of the museums we went to was closed the day we booked it and the tour operator never told us about it, made alternate arrangements or reimbursed us. We also didn’t receive any entry tickets until after we were dropped off at the location. For one experience, we were never even give. any tickets even though we were there, it was open and was part of the tour.”
