What to expect
Combine two of Switzerland's popular tours and get the best of Zurich city plus get to see the massive Rhine Falls up close. Drive through gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages to the splendid Laufen Castle for the first highlight of the day: the mighty Rhine Falls, Europe’s biggest waterfall! Enjoy time at leisure to take a short stroll on the Belvedere panoramic trail to a viewing platform right above the falls, where you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters. Delight in unique views from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700,000 litres of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below. Top off your visit with an optional boat ride (summer only) to get as close to the falls as possible – a truly memorable experience! On the return journey, you pass the picturesque town of Schaffhausen with its towering Munot Fortress from the 16th century. Continue through Germany for a short stretch before you arrive back in the city centre of Zurich. In the afternoon, explore Zurich on a classic city tour past the castle-like Swiss National Museum, the luxurious shopping avenue Bahnhofstrasse and Zurich's renowned financial district. Enjoy a magnificent view of crystal-clear Lake Zurich during a photo stop at Enge harbour. Continue along the lake, passing the grand Opera House and the university quarter with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and the University of Zurich. Tour distinguished districts with stately mansions from glorious times past and convince yourself of the high standard of living on the threshold of the popular Zürichberg recreational area. After a short glimpse of the city, the lake and the snow-covered Alps, you drive past the Kunsthaus art museum down to the charming Old Town. Follow your tour guide on a guided stroll past imposing guild houses and Zurich’s emblematic churches before ending the tour with a scenic drive along the picturesque Limmatquai to the Sihlquai Coach Terminal.

Must-see tour! The river is so cold and a sight to behold! The river park has a nice souvenir shop where we got an amazing coo-coo clock!
It was beautiful and a great place to be at. We managed to catch the waterfall which was awesome.
The tour guide is knowledgeable and friendly! Get to know a lot of information that we would need possibly know of if we tour on our own.
The view and experience we got here was surreal. You can almost touch the fall from one of the platforms. We were lucky enough to see a rainbow when we visited. 🌈🌈🌈
