Rhine Falls & Schaffhausen Private Rail Tour

7 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Ride by train through the Swiss countryside to discover Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall, nestled on the border between Switzerland and Germany.

At the Rhine Falls, you will take a boat to get as close to the falls as possible. You can also take in the views from the cliff-top platforms at Castle Laufen, a medieval castle that overlooks the waterfall. A tour through the castle rounds out your time at the Rhine Falls before touring the medieval old town of Schaffhausen, famous for its ornate painted buildings, bay windows, and frescoes.

Your journey runs on the Swiss rail network, which is comfortable and clean, and the best way to see the most beautiful sides of Switzerland without having to deal with crowded tourist buses or highway traffic. With your private guide taking care of tickets and connections, and pointing out the best photo opportunities, all you have to do is enjoy the ride.

A stop for lunch at an authentic Swiss restaurant is included.
