Pushkar Jayant – India

Stein am Rhine is beautiful and should not be missed, ofcourse Rhine falls everyone does it. Well managed compact 5 hour tour. Excellent guide Rudolf with all his experience and commentary makes it even more merrier. Loved the experience.

Our guide Francesca was excellent. She made the tour so interesting. She was very informative.. She recommended we take the boat trip and that was the best part of the tour.

Full description

Travel out of Zürich for a scenic tour through dramatic natural landscapes and historic landmarks. Come across quaint villages and vast vineyards, and take the lift to the Rhine Falls.
Depart Zürich and journey towards the Swiss/German border of northern Switzerland. Travel through a beautiful wine-growing region of charming farming villages and picturesque landscapes en route to Laufen.

See the splendid medieval castle of Schloss Laufen and the mighty Rhine Falls and experience Europe's biggest waterfall. Get unique views from the panoramic lift and discover what it looks like when an average of 700,000 liters of water per second plunges into the basin below.
If you are feeling adventurous, take the optional boat ride and experience the falls from below. Continue via Schaffhausen with its famous Munot Fortress. Soak up the views of the gently rolling vineyards and farming villages en route to Stein am Rhein.
Upon arrival, learn about the well-preserved old town during a stroll. See distinctive medieval buildings such as the church and former monastery of St. George's Abbey.
Look at the half-timber frame townhouses, along with the city gates and towers, the Town Hall, and the Armory. Admire the delicate wooden window frames of many of the buildings and marvel at their exceptional frescoes.

The falls and the boat ride were fabulous. And the historic town we visited was amazing. Our guide Virgilia told lots of stories about the paintings on the buildings. The countryside was beautiful.
