Itinerary
Your private tour begins in Zurich, where your driver will pick you up at your preferred location. Sit back and enjoy a scenic journey through the Swiss countryside as you travel towards the Rhine Falls.
Travel through picturesque landscape with gently rolling vineyards and charming farming villages to reach the splendid medieval Castle Laufen, settled directly above the falls. 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.
Pass by the picturesque town of Schaffhausen with its well-known Munot Fortress from the 16th century.
After your visit to the Rhine Falls and Schaffhausen, relax on the return journey to Zurich. Your driver will drop you off at your preferred location in the city, concluding your private tour.

About Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, set at the head of a clear lake with Alpine views, a medieval old town and the cabaret where Dada was born.
The Old Town spreads along both banks of the Limmat River, with narrow lanes, guild houses and church spires. The twin towers of the Grossmünster are the city's landmark, the Fraumünster has stained-glass windows by Chagall, and St Peter's Church has one of the largest clock faces in Europe. Lindenhof hill gives a peaceful view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Zurich: Lucerne, Zurich Old Town (Altstadt), Lake Zurich (Zürichsee).
