Visit the magnificent Rhine Falls and the pretty village of Stein am Rhein on this 5-hour trip from Zurich. With a guide, you'll travel along part of the Grand Tour of Switzerland, passing through gently rolling vineyards and picturesque farming villages near the German border.
Marvel at the powerful Rhine Falls - Europe’s largest waterfall - from clifftop Laufen Castle and enjoy breathtaking views from the panoramic glass lift. Witness an incredible 700,000 liters of water per second thundering over a 150-meter-wide drop into the basin below. In summer, you can opt for an unforgettable boat ride that brings you up close to the mighty cascades (optional).
Continue to the beautifully preserved town of Stein am Rhein, where a guided walking tour reveals its richly frescoed, half-timbered buildings and fascinating medieval architecture.
Perfect for those short on time, this tour offers a memorable snapshot of Swiss history, culture, and natural beauty - all in just half a day.

Sit back and relax on a comfortable coach while listening to your multilingual guide explaining about Switzerland's interesting history and culture. The journey takes you along the Grand Tour of Switzerland through picturesque landscapes with gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages close to the German border.
Rhine Falls
Reach the first highlight of this afternoon at splendid medieval Castle Laufen – the mighty Rhine Falls! Enjoy about one hour leisure time at Europe's biggest waterfalls and one of Switzerland's major tourist attractions! Delight unique views from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700'000 liters of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below. The Belvedere panoramic trail brings you to the viewing platform right above the falls where you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters. Take an optional boat ride (summer only, additional costs) close to the falls. Enjoy an hour here to see an exhibition, admire panoramic views from the glass elevator, or walk to the viewpoints above and around the falls to thrill at their roar and power. The site also has a playground, shops, and restaurants. Perhaps opt for a boat ride (subject to availability and not included in price) to experience the crashing cascades close up.

4.00It was well timed—a little too much about the Swiss “wonderfully neutral” part in WWII, [ while history shows they stored stolen Nazi gold and art for Hitler]…but the visit timing was lovely and we had a wonderful lunch in the village outside of Rhein Falls.

5.00Lovely half day tour travelling to the falls, walking through the smallish castle area and seeing beautiful falls. On to Stein Am and this is a gorgeous little medieval village with a history filled town square. Very beautiful!

4.00Lots of stairs and a fairly steep slope to climb getting back to the bus area. I feel it could have been a bit better explained for those not up to the level of physical activity. The area to exit also not marked clearly

5.00This was a fantastic tour! Our tour guide Thomas was fantastic! The Rhine Falls was great, but the small town Stein am Rhein was the highlight of the trip for me! It is an amazing middle aged town with incredible architecture and history!
Not what we expected

3.00Not really what we expected. The van air conditioner was not working properly. It was in the high 70’s. The guide informed us of a boat ride at the falls but you had to have cash. It would have been nice to know on advance that we needed cash. The guide told us of an atm where we could get some money. The did his best at getting us to the boat. The other people who did not take the boat were left to fend for themselves. Two guides would have been better. The city of stein am rhine we were on our own.. the way to the town he told us the highlights of the town and gave us a map. It would have been better if he took us as a group and gave us the details as we walked. The guide was a very nice man. The tour needs to be refined more.
A must!
