“Lovely lovely day . Our guide Raymond made it special. His commentary and guidance were fabulous. They even took a detour through the mountains to avoid traffic delays. The quaint little town of Rappswil and the recommended restaurant to eat the savoury cheese cake were fabulous. The bus was super comfortable.Heidi land was nice ,it was our good luck that the various alpine homes were open ,so we got to go inside and see life as it was at the time. The visit to Vadoz was marred by awful weather. Getting a passport stamp in the tourist office was fun. Over all a lovely lovely day. Thank you .”

Travel from central Zurich to Rhine Falls by comfortable coach with a multilingual guide. You’ll pass Marthalen, vineyards, Munot Fortress, and a short stretch of Germany before viewing the falls from Laufen Castle. The summer boat ride costs extra but gets you close to the spray.
“This is a spectacular waterfall and I was surprised how exciting it was to get really close to it in the boat. It was a nice drive there and the whole thing was not too long. A really lovely morning. Highly recommended.”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
