What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Zurich, Zurich
Check in for your tour at the bus parking Sihlquai. Settle aboard your luxury coach, departing central Zurich for the drive north to southern Germany.
Pass By: Schluchsee, Schluchsee, Baden-Wurttemberg
The drive lasts just over 1.5 hours, so sit back, relax and take in the postcard-perfect scenery. Pass by Lake Schluchsee, the lush green hills and woods of the Black Forest.
Stop At: Titisee-Neustadt, Titisee-Neustadt, Baden-Wurttemberg
Stop for roughly 2 hours in the picturesque town of Titisee-Neustadt, situated on the edge of Lake Titisee in the heart of the Black Forest. One of the area’s famous exports is German cuckoo clocks, so head inside Drubba – a prestigious clock producer – to see how these traditional clocks are made.
Then, spend the rest of your time in the town at leisure; stroll around Lake Titisee independently, enjoy a boat ride or perhaps visit a café to sample the region’s legendary Black Forest Gateau (activities and food at your own expense). The rich cake -- also known as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte -- is constructed as a chocolate cake, layered with cherries, whipped cream and lashings of cherry brandy.
Duration: 2 hours
Pass By: Lenzkirch, Lenzkirch, Baden-Wurttemberg
Meet your guide and travel south through the impressive spruce forests of Lenzkirch, working your way back into Switzerland.
Stop At: Rhine Falls, Rheinfallquai, Neuhausen am Rheinfall 8212 Switzerland
Head into the Upper Rhine region to stop at Rhine Falls – Europe’s largest waterfalls – and enjoy a break of roughly 45 minutes. Gaze at the water as it crashes down a drop of 75 feet (23 meters), pose for photos, and stroll around admiring the scenery.
(or take an optional boat ride)
Duration: 50 minutes
Pass By: Sihlquai, Zürich, Switzerland
Return back to Zurich and finish your tour in the city center in the evening.

Rhine falls of-course was the most interesting in this trip, but unfortunately the trip organisers give you more time in a village called Titisee, may be because they want you to buy things like Cuckoo Clock from there. The guide behaves as an agent of the shops and the restaurants in Titisee. The natural beauty of Rhine Falls is immense and the tourists should have more time there. The boat ride close to the Falls also is a fantastic experience.We enjoyed the scenic tour. We stopped at a sweet little town in the Black Forest for an authentic German lunch & great souvenir shopping. It is a fair amount of walking from the bus to the village. Some steep inclines. The cuckoo clock demonstration was ho-hum really, rushed. The Rhine Falls is ...
We enjoyed the scenic tour. We stopped at a sweet little town in the Black Forest for an authentic German lunch & great souvenir shopping. It is a fair amount of walking from the bus to the village. Some steep inclines. The cuckoo clock demonstration was ho-hum really, rushed. The Rhine Falls is something to behold! So powerful! We did not do the boat ride; we walked all the way around the falls to some overlooks that are very close to the falls. Beautiful pictures. Again, not entirely handicapped accessible, a fair bit of walking.This day trip was fantastic. Our guide and driver were top notch. The beauty of the journey to and from the Black Forest and Rhine Falls was over the top beautiful as well. I would take this trip again.

This was a good tour. If you've been to the Niagara Falls in the US these are just like it but smaller still beautiful to see. I just wish this tour included time to go see the castle on top. The falls are great but the castle would of been lovely to see. And the black forest town is boring except for the cake that was real good cake!Ramon our tour guide was great. Really interacted with tourists to make sure they all got their pictures taking . We had some of the group who didn't listen to him or have consideration of others. But Ramon made the tour great even with that. Great views

Overall, good tour to take. For Black Forest, we thought we would be walking in the Forest, but it was a tour of a town in Black Forest. So, that was slightly different than our expectation. But the German city was beautiful and it was the worth the visit. And we can see the Black Forest from the city. Tour gave you enough time to sit down and have a coffee or desert in many of outside cafés to enjoy the view and weather. One warning, some spots don’t accept credit cards. We waste ~15-20 min trying to get the cash from ATM, which kind of ruined our experience. The 2nd stop, Rhine Fall, was amazing!! Take the boat tour (~15 min). Our driver took closer to the fall (everyone got wet a bit), which was great!!! They however, need to start this little early. All the shops in the waterfall areas were closed, so just walking around the area is all we could do.
