Traveler Tips
- "The boatride at Rhine Falls is also cash-only and is definitely worth it for the photo opp and the chance to be outdoors on the water." See review
- "as far as black forest goes, if one is really interested in buying a cukoo clock, which by itself is a master piece, one must go there." See review
- "Definitely choose the boat ride at Rhine Falls, waterfall is breath taking." See review

The pre- trip communication was excellent including a Whatsapp chat option to raise queries. Payment was processed as indicated. The Black Forest trip was awesome- although the cake was pretty average…the showstopper was the Rhine Falls experience. Hailed as the biggest falls in Europe, it pales in comparison to Niagra Falls and Victoria Falls but the close up boat ride and the picturesque backdrop make it special! Highly recommended. Laura our guide and Armando the tour driver were superb!
Lots of fun

Raymond, the tour guide, was friendly and made sure his guests had fun during the tour. The boat ride to the Rhine falls was fun and Raymond was kind enough to offer to take pictures of each of his guests when the boat got close to the falls. He made sure we all had memorable pictures. The Black Forest tour was very good. , i.e. driving through the winding route of the forest. Enjoyed this tour a lot. Highly recommend it.
Excellent tour experience

Last minute cancellation
Natalie_H
, Aug 2020
Tour was cancelled last minute. I got a full refund but I had already gone all the way to Zurich for the tour to only find out it was cancelled upon arrival. They said they tried to call me the day before but I had no calls or emails about the cancellation. I ended up going to the Rhine Falls on my own... took the train from
Zurich HB. However since I actually never got to do the tour, I have nothing to give feedback on.
Response from Host , Aug 2020
Dear Natalie we regret that the tour became cancelled but honestly we contacted you on the given contact phone number several times and left twice a message on Natalie's answering machine. The evening before and in the morning. It would not have changed the situation but at least you would have been prepared about the it. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you still had an enjoyable visit to Europe's largest falls - The Rhine Falls. best regards / Madeleine

Ok tour if you just wanna visit Black Forest from Zurich and you're pressed for time. I enjoyed the Rhine Falls experience however, I felt that a big chunk of the time was spent for the shopping. Our tour guide Ana did not give us any background about the places we will visit. She was more enthusiastic about bringing the group to the place where the clock demo would be held.
Just a tip, if you are not into cuckoo clocks, do not follow the tour guide in the place where the clock demo will be head. Skip it and just explore the place on your own. You will know where to meet the group when it's time to leave the place anyway. The back forest cake is a must try.

Worth neither the money nor the time.

To go by boat near the Rhine Falls was an interesting experience. However not included, but for an extra expense. The next stop, at the Titlii sea i Germany, offered only a street with tourist items. And no visit to a factory that makes the clocks that makes the town an attraction. Only a lady at a counter, who in five minutes explained how these clocks are made. Moreover, the guide on the tour was mostly silent, she had not much information to offer, so the trip (which lasted many hours in a mini-bus) was utterly boring. Worst of all was the driver, an old man who probably has made the trip a hundred times, and who drove terribly fast in the mountains, sick-sacking as he now and again ran over on the opposite file. He was not even fully concentrated on his driving, since he was continuously talking to the guide (who sat in a seat next to him). It was a terribly frightening experience, and one that really made me angry since he "had my life in his hands". I was not the only passenger who reacted. Others too drew sights of relief when we finally reached Zürich again. "We made it!", one of them exclaimed as the bus stopped. I particularly want to point out this part of the tour. As Your guest, one is not paying for being frightened for one's life. As a compensation, Viator ought actually to give us all our money back.

Visit to the sites were beautiful, but the guide was rather boring. Having been on many tours like this, we usually have guides who explain and have things to say along the way. Expect a quiet journey with some information along the way and you will be left on your own to figure out and guide yourself at the sites.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
