Coach from Zurich to Rhine Falls with castle tickets. Schaffhausen’s Munot Fortress, scenic border drive, plus an optional boat cruise.

“This was a nice short half-day trip that was worth it. Rhine Falls is forceful and loud and strong. To me, it is not quite as impressive as Niagara Falls but definitely worth seeing. We paid the extra 10 francs to take the boat ride which was nice and gets you closer to the action of the falls. It was a cloudy misty day but comfortable and it felt appropriate for the adventure. There are also additional places and platforms to walk to get close to the falls also and it was fun just to watch the fury of nature up close. (There is an elevator but still many steps…”

“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,…”
