Great quick tour of North Switzerland - This is a great quick trip to see the Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein. Definitely worth the trip. I think the highlight of the tour is Stein am Rhein. It is a very nice medieval town.

Wonderful half day trip - Reasonable prices. Adequate time to explore Rhine Falls and Stein. Guided tour was informative and helpful. Clear instructions were given then everything was smooth. Boat ride was necessary to see the falls closely. The water level of the fall was more than normal level that may be caused by previous rain. Beautiful and glorious views. Rhein was little charming town with comfortable atmosphere. That was wonderful half day trip.

Good 👍🙈 - Both Rhine falls and Stein were beautiful, definitely worth it. Although not as good compared to Mount Titlis - if you have to choose between the two, go with mount titlis anyday.

Great falls and cute town - The trip was great and the guide Natalia was wonderful. The driver drove us fine and safe but he was very rude. He threw our property we left on the seat while at the falls in the trash without our knowledge. Without this incident we would give it 5 stars.
