Highlights

A beautiful, short stroll on the Belvedere panoramic trail takes you to the viewing platform right above the falls where you feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters.
Delight in unique views of Europe’s biggest waterfalls from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700’000 liters of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below. Take an optional boat ride (summer only) close to the falls. Visit the Historama at the patriarchal castle to learn more about the interesting history of this unique place.

We love our driver/guide Nuno L! - We are a family of 13 members travelled from the USA, Taiwan & Romania, and we took a private tour with Nuno L from Zurich. Nuno is very thoughtful, responsive and agile to take care of our needs for our customized private tour. We have a mix of children and elderly- which is hard to manage everyone, however, we all enjoy our time and we would book him again for a private tour when we return Switzerland.

Amazing tour! - We had an amazing time on our tour to Rhinefalls. Our tour guide Diego was very knowledgeable and made the tour really enjoyable for my entire family. He took us to a few other fun stops along the way and gave us a very good introduction to Switzerland on our first day here. Would definitely recommend!!

Breathtaking - Well worth a visit and be certain to purchase a boat ticket for $7 Swiss Francs. Very safe, just remain seated as there will be a mist to take place. May wish to wear an outer jacket. Bring camera. Boat ride offers great camera opportunities. Stunningly beautiful but keep in mind this is the only falls we've ever seen.
