Are entrance tickets included in the price?

Entrance tickets to the attractions (such as boat rides at Rhine Falls or castle entries) are not included in our base price. This gives you complete flexibility to choose only the activities you want to experience during your walk.

Rhine Falls & Medieval Stein am Rhein Private Day Tour

Published by MySwissTransfer Editorial Team • Switzerland Excursion Guide

Discover two of Northern Switzerland’s most magnificent treasures in a single, unforgettable day trip. This exclusive private excursion takes you from the roaring, majestic waters of the Rhine Falls—the largest waterfall in Europe—to the fairy-tale streets of Stein am Rhein, a beautifully preserved medieval gem renowned for its vibrant, hand-painted frescoes and rich Swiss heritage.

Your journey begins with the raw power of nature. At the Rhine Falls, spanning 150 meters wide and 23 meters high, you will witness hundreds of thousands of liters of water crashing down every single second. Visitors can enjoy panoramic walking paths, view the dramatic rock formations standing proud in the middle of the river, or take optional boat tours that bring you thrillingly close to the thundering base of the falls.

Just a short, scenic drive along the river brings you to a completely different era: Stein am Rhein. Located where Lake Constance narrows back into the Rhine River, this ancient town is a living museum. The magical town square (Rathausplatz) features striking half-timbered houses boasting intricately detailed, colorful historical murals. It is the perfect place to step back into the Middle Ages, enjoy a relaxing coffee, and explore unique architecture at your own relaxed pace.
