Overview

Quotes Logo Rhine Falls Coach Tour from Zurich lets travelers see the Rhine Falls, the biggest waterfall in Europe! This trip takes you through Northern Switzerland's wine country, with its pretty villages and views, close to Germany. You'll get to see Laufen Castle, a medieval castle, before reaching the amazing Rhine Falls.

You get a whole hour to look at the falls and take pictures. In the summer, you can even take a boat ride to get super close (this costs extra and depends on if it's available). Because the tour doesn't take too long, it's easy to fit into a busy day.

This tour includes seeing Laufen Castle, a history show, a guide who speaks many languages, a comfy bus with air conditioning, and a visit to Rhine Falls. The company also works to balance out its carbon footprint. It does not include picking you up or dropping you off at your hotel, the boat ride (about CHF 10 for adults and CHF 5 for kids, paid there), food and drinks or tips. Quotes Logo
