Journey from Zurich to see the Rhine Falls and historical Stein am Rhein on this 5-hour sightseeing trip by air-conditioned coach. Travel northward through vine-coated hills to the Swiss-German border.

Continue to Stein am Rhein and enjoy a walking tour through the Old Town, passing the fresco-covered houses and other medieval landmarks. You will meet in Central Zurich, but your tour includes also optional Zurich airport pickup and drop-off, ideal if you're short on time.
