Great tour - This was really a perfect tour with leisure time, a beautiful drive the forests, views of the Alps, time to walk along the river, lovely towns. A super fun add-on was a boat ride right up to the falls. Our guide Lars was informative and fun and organized and our driver Lava was entertaining and friendly. I look forward to two more tours with this company while we’re in Zurich

A great half day... - A great half day activity, well organised. Our guide Alfonso , was attentive and shared interesting facts, gave local recommendations. No need to do the optional boat trip at the falls. The view from the various viewing platform is great. From the bus one also gets to see a bit of country side to the north of Zurich . Thanks to George the bus driver for a safe ride.

Boat ride and charming town a winner. - Waterfall boat ride is fun and not to miss as long as you can climb the three stories of stairs. Stein on the Rhine was very unique and charming. Wish there was wifi on bus and they would ask if we needed more heat. Tour guide and driver very good.
