The Amazing Rhine Falls

Rhine Falls was beautiful but we didn’t have much time taking pictures. Our guide was kind of fast and in a hurry, and the walk was not too easy for a person with knee problem

Rhine Falls

A very pleasant tour on a hot August morning. Guide was excellent. Surprised that water wasn’t included, but they sell it to you.

The amount of steps!!! We had to stop a couple of times to catch our breath as we are 70 and 75 years old

Fantastic Tour with an Excellent Guide

We had a great experience last Saturday with our guide, Adolfo. He was entertaining and shared lots of interesting facts about Switzerland throughout the tour. The Rhine Falls were spectacular, and we also really enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
