“We really enjoyed seeing the falls. We were disappointed with our tour guide other than to drive us to the fall and back and to purchase the tickets. He did not interact at all with the group and did not have any information to share or local knowledge. He did offer to take our picture at the Falls.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $154

Review of Zurich’s Rhine Falls, Chocolarium, Appenzell cheese dairy, and village tour, with honest advice on timing, value, and Sunday visits.

“The chocolate and cheese factories were already done with manufacturing in the afternoon. It wasn't worth the time or money. Maybe if they did those in the morning and we could have seen the process it would have been interesting. Overall the driver was OK, he gave information when asked but I didn't appreciate the various lectures on our time, when we were a few minutes late due to the events lines. And stating he gave us extra time that only 45min were allocated for the chocolate, 1 hour was allocated and no extra time was given except the 5 min we were tardy due to the events slowness. Also,…”

Review of Zurich’s private Rhine Falls tour, with a seasonal boat ride, Munot views, Schaffhausen, lunch time, and practical booking tips.

“Rhine Falls were spectacular ! Boat ride was exciting ! The Smilestones ( the largest indoor miniature world in Switzerland), with little miniatures, showed us/ tells stories of this country ! As for Munot Fortress in Schaffhausen, the external didn't seemed to be eye-catching, but when we climbed up the stairs along the vineyard, entered the fortress and went up to the top, the entire city came into view ! Martin, with his experience, coordinated our tour in timely schedule, so that we didn't missed out any of the highlights. We had a great, great day and many thanks to Martin for his companion !”
