Wonderful Rhine Falls and Stein ‘Em!

Wonderful tour! Monica was a great tour guide who gave us a lot of valuable information. The Rhine Falls tour was nice and relaxing. Stein em is a beautiful medieval village, and Monica brought to life the story behind the frescoes which adorned the houses. Highly recommended!

Great tour!

I really enjoyed this tour and thought it was a great value for the experience. Matthew was great - super informative, clear and knowledgeable. This is a beautiful part of Switzerland to visit and the tour is only half a day and conveniently starts in the early afternoon which allows for a non-rushed morning. I did the boat cruise, as did just about everyone else in my group, and I recommend it.
