Rapperswil, Einsiedeln & Lindt Day Trip from Zurich

About this experience

Book a guided day trip from Zurich to Rapperswil and Einsiedeln, with a show dairy visit and admission to Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg. The route combines a lakeside Old Town, a Benedictine monastery, Swiss cheese and chocolate in one nine-hour outing. Roundtrip travel by air-conditioned coach and an English-speaking live guide are included, making this a different choice from a standalone Lindt museum ticket. Choose a departure date that leaves a full day available, and check the meeting instructions at 2 Limmatstrasse in Zurich before travelling. Rapperswil and time by Lake Zurich The journey takes you along Lake Zurich to Rapperswil, where a guided walk introduces the Old Town's streets and squares. The route also includes a short walk towards Rapperswil Castle for views of the lake and surrounding area. Castle admission is excluded, so the stop should be understood as part of the town visit rather than entry to its interior. Free time in Rapperswil lets you organise lunch at your own expense. Think about that meal separately from the tastings included later in the day; a cheese or chocolate tasting is not a replacement for a promised full lunch. Einsiedeln monastery and Swiss cheese Continue to Einsiedeln to visit the Benedictine monastery and see the Black Madonna described in the itinerary. The monastery gives the route a cultural focus beyond the lake scenery. At Milchmanufaktur Einsiedeln, the show dairy introduces Swiss milk processing, with admission, a welcome drink and a cheese tasting included. There is time to browse the shop for homemade products and cheese, but any purchases are separate from the booking. Follow the guide's timing at each stop so the group can complete the wider route without rushing the later chocolate museum visit. Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg The tour includes entry to Lindt Home of Chocolate and its interactive museum, with chocolate tasting included. The chocolate fountain and displays provide a final change of setting after Rapperswil and Einsiedeln. The itinerary also describes the Lindt Café and Chocolate Shop as places you can visit, but additional food, drinks and shopping are at your own expense. The guided day trip is not the same as a special guided chocolate session, workshop or standalone museum visit. Choose it for the complete route and the stated admission, rather than assume other Lindt experiences are part of the ticket. What is covered and what to budget separately Roundtrip coach transportation, the live guided tour, the named visits, dairy admission, the welcome drink, cheese tasting and Lindt museum admission with chocolate tasting are listed inclusions. Additional food and drinks and entry to Rapperswil Castle are excluded. The live guide is listed in English, so check that this is suitable for everyone travelling with you. The operator states that the tour is not wheelchair accessible; confirm access requirements before booking. Bring clothing and footwear suitable for time outside as well as the indoor visits, and keep any dietary requirements in mind when evaluating the tastings. Book the full day from Zurich The listed duration is nine hours. Arrive 15 minutes before the booked departure and follow the exact meeting instructions on your voucher for 2 Limmatstrasse. Allow travel time to the meeting point, and leave a margin after the return before another fixed reservation. If you prefer a dedicated chocolate visit instead of the day-trip route, compare the separate Lindt Choco-Deluxe guided tour. Browse Zurich experiences for activities on another day.
