Excellent time! It was our guides first day and he did an excellent job! The driver ( a guide) and himself went above and beyond to give us a great experience! I recommend this for a quick trip to the waterfall and I definitley think its worth seeing. Take the boat ride and walk up the island, just do it! Follow me @travelstorieswithchristina on youtube/fb/instagram for cool stories and tips when travelling all over the world!

What a wonderful tour with #bestofswitzerlandtours! It was a lovely bus ride to the falls, and then a great boat ride up close to the falls! What fun! Marcela was our guide and absolutely the best guide I’ve ever had on a tour, very knowledgeable, but knew when to quietly let us enjoy the scenery as we drove to the falls. She was cheerful, direct, and funny without wanting to be the center of attention as some guides tend to do. Excellent experience that I highly recommend! And take the 15 minute boat ride, it’s worth it!
