This private day tour departs from Zurich, with an exclusive itinerary that takes you deep into the most culturally rich regions of St. Gallen and Appenzell in eastern Switzerland. During the guided tour, you will experience a strong sense of history and unique folk customs, all in one trip encompassing a UNESCO World Heritage site, traditional handicrafts, and panoramic alpine views.
The journey begins in St. Gallen, where you will explore the city's long history and exquisite lace‑making industry, learning about the development of this traditional craft and its unique techniques. The highlight is a visit to the world‑famous Abbey Library of St. Gallen, admiring its magnificent Baroque architecture. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the library houses a vast collection of books and is adorned with lavish decorations, showcasing the brilliance of classical European culture.

Next, head to the charming Appenzell, known for its colourfully painted traditional houses and well‑preserved folk culture. Strolling through the area feels like stepping into a fairy‑tale village, allowing you to experience the purest rural charm of eastern Switzerland up close.

The itinerary also offers the flexible option to take a cable car up Mount Säntis, where you can enjoy a breathtaking 360‑degree panoramic view from the summit. On a clear day, you can see the magnificent mountains and plains of up to six countries: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Liechtenstein, and Italy — a visually stunning and unforgettable experience.

The entire tour is designed for a private group, offering a flexible and comfortable experience that combines cultural depth with natural scenery. From a World Heritage site to a folk village, from traditional handicrafts to breathtaking alpine views, you will fully experience the unique soul of eastern Switzerland in one journey.
