Great afternoon out - The Rhine Falls was a great experience. The boat trip to get close to the falls was extra cost but happy to pay as it added to the experience. We had enough time to do everything we wanted to do. Our guide Monika was friendly and knowledgeable. Rhein am Stein is a pretty little village and we had enough time to have a mooch round.
