Throughout the tour, you will have an opportunity to discover the region's sights, history, and culture.

You’ll witness the awe-inspiring views from a glass panoramic elevator which takes you much closer to the Falls for an unforgettable experience.

The Rhine Falls is around 15,000 years old. Due to the traditionally formed border between different countries, Rhine was an inspiration for lots of impressive man-made structures, including many castles. However, for the most part, its natural charm overshadows such architectural works. On the 1st August, the Swiss National Holiday sees astonishing firework shows in the sky above Rhine Falls.

Take in the amazing scenery and fresh, clean fresh air, while taking photos of this fabulous natural spectacle from the viewing platforms. In the summer season, you’ll have the additional opportunity to take a roundtrip boat ride to the middle of the Rhine waterfalls. This is operated daily from April to October, payable directly.

When you’ve digested the scenery and atmosphere, it’s time to take the trip home through the historic Schaffhausen Town. Take a backward glance at the painted facades of the houses, fascinating abbeys and picturesque vineyards.

Right in the upper section of the town, you will have the chance to see the unique circular Munot Fortress, an eye-catching monument dating back to the 16th century. It attracts tourists from across the globe and hosts many events throughout the year.

Once you’ve soaked in the culture, your driver will deliver you safely back to your original meeting point in Zurich.
