Tour Options
Itinerary
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 rumblingwaters. Take an optional boat ride (summer only) close to the falls.
Continue via Schaffhausen with its well-known Munot Fortress and passing through the beautiful countryside.
On a guided stroll, you learn about the well-preserved old town with its many distinctive buildings. Most of these half-timbered houses are made of stone with delicate wooden windows and stun visitors with their exceptional frescoes. The most prominent of these houses is the White Eagle, whose fresco counts as the oldest preserved mural painting of the Renaissance in Switzerland.

We (my partner and I) just got home from a full day with Sergio and we are speechless. The amount of knowledge and historical background he has really makes everything come alive! He did an amazing job taking us through Old Town Zürich, the Rhine Falls, and Stein am Rhein (with a stop in Schaffhausen to visit the IWC museum), and recommended an GEM of a Italian restaurant for late lunch. Sergio made the whole day (10am-6pm) an absolute blast. Top class! Sergio, grazie per la giornata fantastica! Non vedo l'ora di vederti la prossima volta che saremo a Zurigo!
Diego was our tour guide and driver. He was pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable about the places we visited. It was a full day tour, with Rhine Falls as the highlight. It was amazing to see the falls upclose ad personal, and with a rainbow! Diego accompanied us and readily offered to help our group of 6 take pictures- and he took great pictures, pano, framing and all! We also stopped at a local cafe that had delicious pastries. After he dropped us off at the hotel, he came back later in the evening after finding a little electronic widget that my friend didn’t even realized yet that she had unknowingly dropped it in the car. Truly above and beyond service! Highly recommended.
Great private tour, we got up close to the Rhine Falls and saw wonderful Stein am Rhein with nice lunch. Would recommend this tour!
expensive excursion. we expected interesting stories, but got just a transfer to the place and back in the company of a nice driver. service doesn't match the cost.
Beautiful place that really deserves to be visited. A splendid spectacle of nature. Excursion suitable for everyone. The tour with the boats that go up to the waterfalls is recommended.
Trip that I didn’t purchase . You canceled one I booked and assured me this was the same. I was misled and trusted my salesperson. Waiting for supervisor resolution
Hi George, Many thanks for your message. The booking that was canceled was not with us. That was with another company, and we received your booking for the next day very last minute. We actually helped you out, where the other company failed. I will check with Viator what happened. Thanks so much and best regards Catharina
Magnificent place that connects you with nature and the beauty that water provides. The entrance ticket is 5 euros and the park shop has good souvenir options. It's really worth visiting the place.
Diego was brilliant, he took us on a lovely scenic route,fantastic boat rise at the Rhein Falls which were spectacular then to the picturesque town of Stein am Rhein
Thanks so much for your kind review! Very happy to read that you have had a nice time with Diego! I will pass on your kind words to him. Warm regards and thanks again for your booking Catharina
