    Full description
    As you travel towards the Rhine Falls in northern Switzerland on this coach trip, you’ll pass through the charming farming village of Marthalen, with its traditional frame houses. You’ll also see the 16th-century Munot Fortress and the area’s renowned vineyards. The highlight of the trip will undoubtedly be the sight of the Rhine Falls. This natural feature is located on the Upper Rhine River and has been around since the Ice Age. During the summer you can take an optional boat ride to the middle of the falls, at the heart of the cascading waters, and enjoy the magnificent spectacle from the viewing platforms. Alternatively, you can enjoy a leisurely hour on the banks of the river. The return journey takes you over the border to southern Germany for a short stretch. Back in Zurich, you’ll be dropped off in the city center. A multi-lingual guide leads the excursion. The tour is a great way to start or end your vacation.

    As the tour says its not Niagara Falls, but its really pretty. This was a short excursion and we had a great time. The ride out to the falls was really pretty and we had a great weather day. If you are looking for something to do that is pretty laid back and only about 4 hours this is a great choice.

    This is good for people who are short on time but really want to do the Rhine falls. This was basically a trip to the falls and back. There was some talking on the bus there and back. However, those parts were skippable for sure. Also, if you order food from the shop at the falls be prepared to wait and wait.

    I enjoyed every moment of this trip. The tour guide was knowledgeable. The driver drove us safely to and from the place. The coach was air-conditioned, spacious and comfortable. I had a great time at the Rhine Falls and recommend taking the boat ride (costs 10CHF). We went through Germany on the way back to the meeting point. Though we were told to bring our passports, we didn't need to present/show them. All in all, it was an awesome tour. Here's a short video of my time at Rhine Falls. https://youtube.com/shorts/_S7n59CHe5c?feature=share
