A truly fantastic experience. The bus driver was our tour guide and helped us with information about the falls along the way. The pictures in the add for the tour could never do it justice. We we metres away from thousands of litres of water cascading over the falls!
The falls are worth taking a half day to visit. Only improvement is the tour operator needs signage and/or someone in the parking lot to direct you to the appropriate bus. There numerous buses/tour operators in the parking lot with tour guides available to direct customers to their bus.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the falls. We appreciate your feedback regarding the departure point. The meeting instructions provided on the voucher indicate that guests should check in at the Swisstours bus, which serves as the departure point for the tour. While our staff are present to assist passengers, we understand that the number of buses and tour operators in the parking area can sometimes make finding the correct vehicle more challenging. We value your suggestion and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
The falls we nice, but ride would have been to cold so we passed on that.good places to eat or just get a snack
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the falls and found some nice places to eat nearby. We hope to see you again, maybe in warmer weather. Kind regards
Let's be honest here...you could walk to the train station in Zurich, figure out a train going to Rhine Falls, save yourself some money and be more flexible in your schedule. You could....but my partner and I opted for the guided tour and I'm glad we did. It wasn't all that expensive. We rode in comfort in a nice bus. We had a great driver/guide who could not have been more helpful. He gave us a lot of interesting tidbits about the falls. made sure we understood all of our options, and kept things stress-free. Two hours was plenty to enjoy the beautiful falls and we were back in Zurich in time for lunch. I highly recommend this tour for people who don't want to do the heavy lifting.

Wonderful excursion. The place is beautiful. The company is serious and responsible, the service was excellent. She was the only one on the tour, and yet they did the service. I've always done well with Viator.
There is no time frame , delayed to departure and arrival. There is nothing see than waterfall. The boat service stopped
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. The Rhine Falls tour is designed as a half-day excursion focused on visiting and enjoying the beauty of the falls, one of Europe’s most spectacular natural attractions. We do not leave late as we are very precise on timing. We hope that despite these issues, you were able to enjoy the amazing scenery and power of the Rhine Falls, which many visitors consider a highlight of Switzerland.
It was not worth the price you charged. Also need to let people know in winter the boat does not run
Hi Tamika, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt the tour did not meet your expectations. We always aim to provide clear details so guests can plan accordingly, and we’ll take your comment on board to make this even clearer in the future. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our communication and overall experience for all guests.
Like to thank the tour guide who waited for us for a 5 min late into the tour . Description we thought that the boat ride is included as not being mentioned that there is no boat ride during winter time. But we’ve seen boat going on the falls itself so just confusing. Not much information being said by the tour guide about the falls and tour. Just like exploring on your own tour thing.
Thank you for your feedback, Arial. We're glad to hear that our tour guide was accommodating and waited for you! We apologize for the confusion regarding the boat ride. As the tour description specifies, there is no boat ride included during the winter months. Thank you again for your insights, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future! Keytours team
Very beautiful, especially in the afternoon, two hours of freedom at the falls is enough time to admire them
Ciao Orazio, Grazie mille per la tua recensione! Siamo felici che tu abbia trovato il tour molto bello e che le due ore alle Cascate del Reno siano state sufficienti per godertele appieno. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un’altra esperienza con noi! Un caro saluto, Il Team Keytours
