A Nice day in Zurich!! - It was a wonderful experience, a very comprehensive tour. The waterfalls were beautiful, and Stein am Rhein looked like something out of a fairytale. Dante and Virgila were very kind and explained everything to us in detail. A lovely day, a wonderful experience!

Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhine with Francesca - We were wowed by the Falls!! We had no idea the Rhine Falls were the biggest falls in all of Europe! We ended our trip in the charming town during Christmas at Stein Am Rhine. It is a magical town and festive. Francesca was very informative and you can tell she loves what she does! Thank you Francesca!

Great tour and great guide! - Our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and great to visit with! Just so you know we walked quite a bit and there are steps to and from the falls. Such a beautiful sight!

Large Waterfall - This was my least favorite excursion from Zürich. It was a decent enough trip, just not as good as some of the others. The waterfall was cool, but that's really all there is to do...see the waterfall. The small village we went to afterwards was cool, but we didn't really spend much time there.

Wonderful places to visit, even in the blistering cold of European Winter - A wonderful and informative experience and one 'cheaper' cost side of other tours offered in Switzerland. The information provided by Ferdinand was very thorough and well explained as we journeyed from Zurich towards the Rhein region. Both the Rhein Falls and Stein am Rhein were wonderful places to visit, even in the blistering cold of European Winter. My only negative was there was a very loud, talkative and obnoxious person on the tour who continued to talk over the guide with no regard for fellow tour members.
