Enjoy an hour here to see an exhibition, admire panoramic views from the glass elevator, or walk to the viewpoints above and around the falls to thrill at their roar and power.

Bus location is quit easy to find. Public transit is the least expensive way to get to the bus terminal. Our taxi ride was costly. We really enjoyed the scenic ride to the falls. The Rhine falls are really beautiful.... not huge.. but still beautiful. Lots of stairs to climb at the falls. The town of Stein am Rhein is picturesque and lovely. I would recommend this tour to others. It is relaxing and easy going.

Switzerland has so many wonderful and beautiful natural scenery. This tour highlighted one that is little known but well worth the time taken.

This tour was well worth the cost. Our guide was very informative and kept up commentary on the local surroundings. On the drive to the falls he explained about where we were going and what we would be seeing. At Rhine Falls he first led us down to the boat so that we could take a ride up close to the cascading falls. We then were given ample time on our own to explore the falls from the multiple vantage points. We then boarded the bus for a short trip to Stein am Rhein, a medieval village. Again we were given an hour or so to explore the town on our own. The sights included stunning frescoes on many timber frame houses. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Rhine Falls was beautiful, don't expect Niagra, but the photo platforms well done and a lift from river level back up to bus level. Stein am Rhein was a beautiful quintessential 14 - 17th century town. about a 2 block long wide inviting area, all comfortable shops. wish we could have stayed longer. Tour particulars, as bus, guide, pick up an drop off very well gone. We'll take more from Viator
