walking around switzerland - The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall in German), also known as Schaffhausen Falls, are the largest waterfalls in Europe. They are located in the upper part of the River Rhine, a short distance from the city of Schaffhausen in the north of Switzerland, near the German border.

You could do better - This tour is definitely not worth the money-We were surprised when we found out our “private tour” was just us with a guide escorting us on public transportation - we literally paid 1000 to take an hour ride on the crowded train to see 75 ft falls . Our guide was nice but provided barely any historical context . The castle was not open and it just felt like 90percent of the tour we were killing time . We could easily have done this without a guide and learned more The falls were pretty
