We enjoyed our tour in exploring the waterfalls and the old city by train. Rhine falls where very weak in month of August, hope to see them again with more power.
Falls, cheese and beautiful views

Quick trip from Zurich. We liked the fact of it being by train. Our guide did an amazing job, showing us the best places. The falls are at a lower level than usual. We also had a nice cheese tasting in the visited city. Overall well worth it!
Good tour

We wanted to see the falls and this was a great tour to do it. Very friendly guide and comfortable train transportation. The entrance at the falls is quite hilly (going down), you might have some difficulties if mobility is not your strong side.

We met our guide at Zurich train station. Easy to find and communication before the tour was good. Our group had around 12 people which was nice .. more intimate and good conversations. Rhine falls were wonderful and making a boat trip I'm the summer just gives you a nice cool breeze. Highly recommended!
Amazing tour guide & boat ride

Tour was well organized and we enjoyed touring by train and not by a coach (way more comfortable). Our guide was friendly and informative. We liked the fact of having some free time for shopping and strolling on our own.

We had a great tour. Rhine falls were starting to get stronger in April as the snow is melting from Swiss Alps. Stein am rein was a nice addition to the tour and we had a delicious lunch there. Guide was very friendly and interactive
