A must do - The boat ride on Rhine Falls was great. Though I found the cuckoo clocks to be very expensive, the experience of visiting the Black Forest region was awesome

Amazing experience of Rhine and Black forest village - The Black forest and Rhine falls day trip from Zurich was an amazing experience. First of all, the tour operator Grey Line's kiosk was easy to locate as it was right at the beginning of the bus parking lot. The bus was good as well, so we didn't feel much tired by the end of the day. The tour guide Xia was knowledge as she explained the history and significance of both Rhine falls and the black forest village Titisee. Now coming to these 2 locations - The Rhine offers a good boating experience (separately payable additional) and gives you good photo locations. Thankfully the sky was clear on the day of our trip. The black forest village was heavenly. Titisee lake is so serene and picturesque. Toy also get a presentation about the history of cuckoo clocks that originated in that part of the world. We ended up buying a cuckoo clock as well. And we also tried the authentic black forest cake. Additional benefit - what you see on both sides of the road throughout the 2 hour journey to black forest village, is greenery and more greenery. Overall it was a day well spent. Thanks to Grey Line's tour operator for that amazing experience. PS - Do not buy any souvenirs from Rhine falls as you will find the same stuff in Titisee village (Germany), 20% cheaper.

Nice day trip - The small town we walked through was great. Really cute shops and the food was amazing. It rained the day we went but it was still a great trip. Our guide was very nice and gave details about what we were driving by.

Can only be recommended! - I was there yesterday on the Black Forest & Rheinfall tour. Although it rained all day, the trip was really great! The driver drove great and was very accommodating by helping everyone off the bus. The tour guide was also very friendly and could tell us a lot during the tour. I really recommend this tour to anyone of any age group. This tour is certainly something nice to do for families too. I will once again take part in a tour with Hans Meier Tourist AG.

Fantastic waterfalls - Are most memorable part of the trip was the Rhine Falls. Spectacular. Guide and driver did a great job of giving us information and driving through the mountains of the Black Forest. Only low point was when we stopped in the Black Forest town. Perhaps because it was October and is not a lot of people there. There was nowhere to get any real food except cake and coffee. But other than that we had a great ride home pretty much on time getting back and we enjoyed the day very much. Peter D

Up close experience - The Rhine Falls were spectacular. We really enjoyed the "cruise" up closer to the fa)s. Seeing all the clocks was also amazing. I would also recommend buying a clock here if you want one. Everyone else we have traveled too, the cost is sooo much higher.

girls trip - too much bus time for such little time to walk around and experience germany. Titisee is nothing but a tourist trap. restaurants were closed. The falls were beautiful, but that was only 1 hour of the trip

Not the best - It was rushed throughout and I could barely hear or understand what the guide was explaining and many people complained about it as well . Even at waterfall it felt we didn’t get any time and black forest was just taking us to a town in the middle and nothing much
