The falls are beautiful, pay the extra 10CHF to take the boat ride, it was worth it. Views are great and the colors when I went (autumn) were fantastic as well.

We had a great time learning about the history of the country on the ride to the falls. I am hearing impaired and have to read lips in addition to wearing my hearing aids and Olga went above and beyond to help me. I will never forget it. The boat ride, the view of the falls, and the museum were great. It was definitely a fantastic trip and I would do it again without hesitation.

Checkin was smooth and easy. During the ride to the falls our tour guide was providing lots of information on switzerland and the falls. We had plenty of time to see the falls and walk around on our on. We also did the boat ride which cost about 12 chf extra. It last about 15 mi minutes. The boat ride was worth it in our opinion. We also briefly went through an old town as well. We had fun and would recommend the tour.

What an amazing waterfall, beautiful and powerful place. We did the add extra boat ride up to the face of the falls which was amazing. Loved watching the view from the bus and enjoyed listening to the guide informative commentary about the area and history of your surroundings.

We loved this tour. The guide was awesome. Bus Driver too. My only suggestion would be to let others know how many stairs are involved in climbing to the bottom and back to the top.

The trip is very pastorale. The guide provides plenty of anecdotal information. The part with the boat is nice, not too rocky, but there is some getting wet (light spray), and it should be clear. Lots of free time after the boat. Not clear why the trip back is through Germany.

The Rhine Falls tour was fabulous. We had a great tour guide (Andrea) who explained many things on the ride to and from the falls. The Rhine Falls was very beautiful and great to see. If time permits take the boat tours, even if it’s for only 15 minutes. Worth it to see the falls from a different angel.

Both the experiences to Mountain Titlis and the Rhine Falls were amazing. Nature in all its glory. Thank you God.

It was a great half day tour enjoyed it. Recommend if you only have a short stay in Zurich also drove through some old towns and into Germany on the return trip.
