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 through northern Switzerland’s rolling wine country to the falls, Europe’s largest. View the roaring waters from clifftop Laufen Castle, and, in summer, choose to ride a boat close up to the cascades (optional). Afterward, take a guided stroll around medieval Stein am Rhein to admire its fresco-painted, half-timbered houses and other historical highlights. The tour duration is ideal if you’re short on time.

5.00Everybody who visits Zurich should make sure they make the short trip out to see the Rhine Falls. The largest waterfall in Europe is mesmerizing. Also strongly recommend the boat trip which is only an extra 10 Swiss francs. Stein Am Rhein is like a medieval fairytale of a town. Beautiful, historic and timeless. Our guide was excellent, giving us the history of the town, the falls and Switzerland in general. And also keeping our larger group together in the midst of the crowds at the falls.

5.00Well worth visiting. Very noisy. Renata the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The coin machine outside the shop was broken and the coin from the machine on the walkway fell through the gap in wooden floor
