Beautiful Falls
TV_R, Jun 2024
Nice guide and her assistant with good knowledge. Spent enough time. Nice bus ride and good boat ride. Excellent tour.
2 tours - 1 day
Katherine_D, Jun 2024
The Rhine falls was a great experience. The falls were magnificent from the viewing platforms, especially the one down the bottom, however the best experience was from the optional boat ride - I highly recommend. Manual was a fantastic guide. Please note there are quite a few steps! After the Rhine falls experience I was a bit tired when it came time for the Best of Zurich tour. Thankfully for me most of the tour was on the bus. There were a few off the bus photo opportunities and the day ended with a short walk through the old town. Great way to see the city if you are short on time. Cristina was very informative.
This trip need some improvement in itinerary
Anuj_W, May 2024
While Rhine fall visit was excellent a two hour break before city tour killed the experience. It should have been properly explained in the itinerary that there will be a gap of 2 hrs . Ideally it should be a continuous trip. Tough overall not a bad experience.

Definitely see Rhine Falls!
Piera_B, May 2024
The falls were great to see, must definitely do a boat ride. City part was OK, did get to see Lake Zurich which was best part of tour.
Good guide. Nice fall.s....
YRM_A, Sep 2023
Good guide. Nice fall.s. Fully secured entertainment. No need to tell Swiss follow the watch. Evening tour should have more time to do the walking tour.
fun tour that covers a lot of ground!
Isabella_C, Jul 2023
really fun tour! the boat ride at the rhine falls was so worth it! (we had to pay our guide in cash for this experience so make sure you have swiss franks or euros so you dont have to pull it from the atm when you get there) the best of zurich city tour was also great. mostly by bus with some pit stops along the way, wchih was perfect becuase it was a long day and sitting on the bus was nice, we covered a lot of ground! we didnt do the boat cruise afterwards but in retrospect I wish we had overall great all day experience!

Fun trip to Rhine Falls

This was a great experience. We had so much fun. The falls are beautiful and our guide was very informative. We took some amazing pictures .

Chameli_P, May 2023
We spent a lovely half day at the Rheinfalls. The falls are really spectacular and we enjoyed even more by taking one of the boat tours very close to the falls! Our guide was awesome, she explained all the details regarding the falls. Ours was a small group but she still was able to arrange the boat trip for us! We took the Zurich city tour in the second half of the day! The tour gave us a great overview of the city! They pointed out landmarks to explore after the tour. The bus was nice and comfortable! All in all a great two in one tour combo!!

Zurich Tours
Elizabeth_E, May 2023
Rhine Falls were beautiful, rushing waters flowing. We did the boat ride and got a close up experience. The City tour showed much of the old city, river front, neighborhoods and churches. The guides did a great job!
Best thing I did from Zurich
Vee_G, Aug 2022
This experience was perfect and I am so glad I did this on my first day in Zurich. The waterfall was amazing and I did not feel the boat tour was oversold as other reviewers noted. It is totally worth the extra fee to go right to the waterfall and you even get a little wet. The city tour after a lunch break capped off the day and you experience a city completely differently once you get an educated explanation of it. Highly recommend this even if you only have one day in Zurich.

Very poorly organized!!!
Apryl_P, Oct 2021
The trip to Rhein Falls was beautiful. We hiked all the way down to the boat dock only for it to be unavailable-this was very disappointing. My mom has knee problems and had to hike all the way back up. Our guide had good info but the people on the bust talked throughout her talk so it was very hard to hear. The tour guide for the drive around Zurich was informative, however, she had to give info in German and English and many times we missed the sight by the time she told us about it in English. We also spent the first 25 minutes of the tour in traffic. The mask policy wasn’t enforced on the bus-Trudy, our guide, really needed to do a check to make sure people had their masks on. The walking part of the tour was so disorganized that we left midway without her even noticing.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Dear Apryl, Thank you very much for your detailed feedback on our Rhine Falls & Best of Zurich City tour and for choosing Best of Switzerland Tours. We are truly sorry to hear that the organization of the tour did not meet your expectations. While there are usually boat trips running at the Rhine Falls, the boat operator switched to the low season timetable just on the day of your visit. Unfortunately, this information does not seem to have reached the tour guide in time, for which we sincerely apologize. Also, we are very grateful to you for pointing out the shortcomings in compliance with our safety concept. Both guests and tour guides are required to wear masks on the bus, which corresponds to the current rules for public transport. We have followed up your feedback with your tour guide Trudy to ensure that no similar incidents will occur in the future and that we can guarantee the health and safety of all our guests. We hope that you enjoyed a wonderful stay in Zurich and would be very happy to welcome you back on tour with us soon! Best regards, Amanda from Best of Switzerland Tours
Brilliant tour with the best Switzerland
Xin_Tong, Sep 2021
I did this tour as I thought value what you pay was very good. I had tour guider, his name is Konrad Peter, he was very good, and knowledgable. We talked all way when we went Rheinfall. He took me around and did an extra excusion for wineland village, that was very nice of him. I enjoyed the tour very much. Thank Konrad, you was the best. I also like to thank the best Switzerland tour for running this tour for me as a solo booking of this tour.

Biggest waste of time and money...
Bianca A, Apr 2018
Biggest waste of time and money! This tour could have been done independently! Tour guide and bus driver was very nice and knowledgeable but the Rhine Falls are NOTHING to rave about. Its only called the biggest waterfall because its wide! There is nothing special about this place. Then what angered me off even more is that while on the bus, the tour guide tells us we can do an optional boat ride. My husband and I were the only two who didnt opt to do it. She was convincing everyone that the views fronm the boat are wonderful and its an amazing experience and going on and on about it. It was 10 Swiss francs per person. Since we were the only two left out, we decided to just do it. Well, let me tell u, the dam boat went in a small circle and close to the waterfall but it was suchhhhhh a joke! Again, it was on,y great cuz you literally went by the waterfall! Dont book this tour, save your money and do something else!
it is very nice trip , the view is...

ndignadice, Nov 2017
Rhine Falls not worth if weather is bad, book on the day you wish to go by going on their Coach terminal, City tour okey if you don’t have much time in Zurich
We had a great time on this tour...
christopher_yue, Oct 2017
We had a great time on this tour, given we were only in Zurich for a couple of days. The trip to the Rhine Falls was excellent, and we would definitely recommend doing the optional boat trip, as it takes you extremely close to the water fall.
