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.

5.00A great half day tour from Zurich. Well organised and informative. Stunning views of the Rhine falls and it is worth paying extra for the boat ride to take you close in to witness the power of the water. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and great driver. A must see.
These are two don’t miss destinations.

5.00Well organised English speaking tour. Informative commentary enroute and at the Falls. The second leg of the tour to Stein Am Rhein was amazing and in our view was equal to the Falls as a tourist attraction. Congratulations to tour guide Monika for her informative and professional conduct of the tour.
