Overview of your Zurich tour

We depart from Zürich crossing the Swiss countryside, with its green pastures and cows. We arrive in Stein am Rhein situated on the opposite (southern) bank of the Rhine to the historic centre of the town, a pedestrian area of nearly 500 mt. offering you a lot of history. You will discover many small and nice high-quality stores. After, we can have lunch at the castle Hohenklingen (optional) and later we drive in the direction to Schaffhausen. We visit the Munot castle and take a view over the old city an the river Rhein. At the end of the tour, we will admire the Rhine Falls, Europe's largest and most spectacular waterfalls. Enjoy! You have the opportunity to ride on the boats over the lake and climb the famous rock in the middle of the waterfalls.

Thomas is a great tour guide:extremely knowledgeable, courteous, interesting, and fun. He was a fine driver with whom we felt very safe, and he took care of everything, . He was able to speak effectively to our somewhat diverse group effectively and interestingly. He loves this country and loves this job, seemingly not tiring of visits the same places or telling the same stories. He knows history, religion, architecture, geography, and more. Highly recommended!!

Thomas was the BEST! He planned a perfect day (even though we booked last minute) and catered to our every ask. In addition to being very knowledgeable, he was warm and kind. We will definitely book him again!

My 10 year old daughter and I had a great time with Thomas. He took us to three castles, a village with houses from the 17th century, a formed walled city, a fortress, and of course the Rhine Falls. This is my third trip with one of my daughters and choosing a private guide rather than a group tour was definitely the correct decision. My daughter's review "amazing guide, good sense of humor, great explanations". Definitely memories that will stay with us for a long time.

Your Zurich tour itinerary

This enchanting morning tour takes you on a scenic route to Northern Switzerland and shows you the stunning Rhine Falls! See the medieval Castle Laufen, settled directly above the falls and feel the roar and vibration of Europe's biggest waterfalls from the panoramic trails and viewing platforms. Drive through a picturesque landscape with gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages to reach the splendid medieval Castle Laufen! Enjoy approx. one hour leisure time at the mighty Rhine Falls, one of Switzerland's major attractions. Delight in unique views of Europe's biggest waterfalls from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700'000 litres of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below. A beautiful, short stroll on the Belvedere panoramic trail takes you to the viewing platform right above the falls where you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters. Feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters on an optional boat ride (summer only) close to the falls.
