This private excursion combines history, culture and relaxed lakeside scenery in one memorable day. Travel comfortably by private vehicle from Zurich to Einsiedeln to discover one of Europe’s most important monasteries, a key stop on the pilgrims’ route to Santiago de Compostela.
Explore the religious architecture, learn about local traditions and the monastery’s role in pilgrimage history. Continue to Rapperswil, a picturesque lakeside town framed by medieval city walls, narrow streets and panoramic viewpoints over Lake Zurich. Wander the ramparts and enjoy photo opportunities across the golden and silver coasts. The experience is completed with a peaceful boat trip on Lake Zurich: sit back, savour the views and toast the day with a glass of local wine.
Along the way your host will share vivid stories about the area, including colourful anecdotes about Giacomo Casanova’s time in the region. The pace is leisurely and tailored to your interests, making the day ideal for culture lovers, photographers and anyone who wants a relaxed, privately guided insight into Zurich’s nearby treasures.
