I went on this short Zurich City Tour With Rhine Falls with my family, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our journey began in Marthalen and took us to the Rhine Waterfalls, a sight to behold. Then we visited St. Peter's Church, the Swiss National Museum, the Grossmunster and Fraumunster churches, Lake Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and many other sights. The Thrillophilia crew did an excellent job organizing a well-planned trip.

If you’re looking for a good sightseeing package, I’d suggest going with this one. The tour took us to some of the city’s best churches and museums, along with the village of Marthalen. Of course, the highlight of the whole experience was the tour to Rhine Falls, Europe’s most beautiful waterfall. Thanks to Thrillophilia for the wonderful experiences.

This place was definitely one of the hidden wonders of my trip to Zurich. I was in the city for a short time, and this trip made it extremely memorable, as I got to explore the region of the Rhine falls, with attractions like the Laufen castle, the Bahnhofstrasse street and other places. All credit goes to Thrillophilia for arranging such an amazing trip. Looking forward to more such deals.

Found Thrillophilia on the top of my search list and gathered all the information that I required to make my day outing perfect.

Had never heard of this hidden gem of a place before! The trip, despite being short, covered the best of the features in that region- Laufen castle, Rhine falls, and even the famed Bahnhofstrasse street, which is said to be the Swiss counterpart of Avenue 5! Also, The view of the Rhine falls will remain etched in my memory as a wonderful souvenir from Switzerland!

One of the best experiences in Switzerland so far! Thanks for the lovely arrangement. It is the best and most cost-effective day trip for someone who wants an off-beat experience in Switzerland with a well-arranged itinerary. Laufen Castle and Rhine falls have my heart! The Laufen castle is so underrated! The medieval artifacts from this castle are such a big reminder of the extravagance of the nobility! And the view of the Rhine falls from the castle is lovely!

If you are in Zurich even for a single day in summer, I would recommend you to take this trip! I saw the majestic Laufen castle and the massive expanse of the waterfall! And the cogwheel ride offers a panoramic view of the whole place! Just one suggestion from my personal experinence is that make sure you reach the pickup point on time else you might miss your coach and believe me it's not like India where 9 am means 10 am :p
