We loved the Rhine Falls....

3.00We loved the Rhine Falls. The boat ride was an extra fee and only in cash. I felt the clock storw was lacking and the Germany experience was not overly exciting either. It was beautiful but not special. It was a drive and we stopped and was given an hour to snack or shop and that’s all.
Amazing Rhine Falls!

5.00This tour was both fun and educational. We enjoyed our tour guide, Urs and all of his stories along the way. The visit to the falls was beautiful and learning about the cuckoo clocks was so fun! We enjoyed coffee and cake and it was truly a taste of heaven. What a great day we had!

5.00Had a great day out in the Black Forest and Rhine Falls made all the more special by our tour guide, Urs. His knowledge of the regions that we visited was excellent and he explained things in great detail whilst being entertaining at the same time. He was very attentive and nothing was too much bother for him. I don't think that he'd mind me saying that for a gentleman of his age he is a dynamo and his communication skills with several different nationalities was very impressive. If you're lucky enough to get Urs as your tour guide in the future then you've struck gold.

5.00The trip was good. The feedback is for this feedback form. This feedback form is too long. the "Next" button is not enabled to allow going to the next page until at least 100 letters are typed. That seems unnecessary.
