Visit the breathtaking Black Forest region and the Rhine Falls – Europe’s largest waterfall – in one day on a tour from Zurich! The full-day trip starts with a visit to Titisee-Neustadt, a pretty town in the heart of Germany's Black Forest. Admire its star attraction, Lake Titisee, and visit the locally renowned Drubb watchmaker to see traditional German cuckoo clocks being made. Before returning to Zurich, stop at Rhine Falls to watch the waters of the Rhine River crashing down a 75-foot (23-meter) drop.

This was not a tour that I would ever recommend. We were first taken to a clock shop where we listened to a promotional speech. This took up the majority of our time in Titisee. We then rushed to shop and take photos in town. The falls were pretty but we didn’t want to get wet. Overall, the day was a disappointment.

The Rhine Falls were spectacular - particularly as they were in full force after flooding rain recent to our visit - but the Black Forest segment was disappointing, just a drive through the Forest and a visit to a tourist shopping hub where we could buy cuckoo clocks and lunch. I had anticipated some mention of the Brothers Grim and folk history, and perhaps a walk in the Forest itself. Our tour was encouraged to buy tickets on a boat at the Falls additional to the cost of the tour, but we found the views obtained by walking around and up routes provided were breathtaking, something the boat-goers didn't have time for.

The main attractions are the Cuckoo Clock making Demo at Titisee-Neustad in Germany and the Rhine Falls in Switzerland.
The stop at Titisee-Neustad is roughly 1.5 hrs, and you might be rushed if the coach got delayed enroute. Demo of the Cuckoo clock is an interesting experience, but the must-do activity here is to try to the Black Forest Cake at one of the outlets. The town otherwise has a touristy feel to it.
The second stop is at the Rhine Falls, where you can pay CHF 8 to the guide for a 15 min boat ride - this is a MUST DO to experience the Rhinefalls! The boat ride almost takes you right into the falls and is an experience worth doing.
Due to the large distances covered, one does tend to feel that more time is spent on the coach than at the attractions.
Note: Make sure to carry your passport, they will ask you for it before boarding the coach (since the coach crosses into EU)

Rhein falls was amazing, even though we didn't have cash the guide was kind enough to let us go on th boat and pay him after.

The reason I'm giving a 3 star was because the 2 stops were very rushed. In Black Forest we had an hr and a half. 30 of it was learning about Cuckoo clocks. The last hr was rushed through the stores. Didn't have time to shop and eat. The falls we were very rushed. I wish they would start the tour an hr or 2 sooner. Other than that the trip was good.

We traveled 1 1/2 hour then got off the bus we couldn’t use the washroom had to follow our guide walking so fast we lost the group and couldn’t find the clock workshop so missed that the falls were very nice but once again very difficult to keep up to the guide

This was a great tour! Even though it rained the entire day, we were still able to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy the falls. I highly recommend this tour!

Very lovely trip. However we seemed very rushed at both stops. Had no time at all to look at anything. Countryside was beautiful as it had just rained. All in all I would recommend this tour. The Rhine falls were spectacular!!

We left the bus station at 12:15 pm. We drove a couple of hours and saw some beautiful country side along the Black Forest. We arrived at Titisee in Germany about 2:00 or so. We first had a bathroom break. You will need a debit card or Euro coins. Our guide Suzanne took us to the other end of the village for a presentation of the cuckoo clock. It is mainly a sales presentation and I would just skip it because it eats up so much time. There are several shops and restaurants. Make sure you have Euros because the restaurant we ate it only took cash and would not take cards, US dollars or Swiss Franks. There is an ATM if needed. We left at 4:00 and drove an hour back into Switzerland to the Rhine Falls. We got on a small boat and went over near the falls. We did enjoy that. We got back on the bus at 6:15 and arrived back at the bus station at 7:00 pm. The tour was ok, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the cost.

The Rhine Falls were great
On the other hand Titisee is very touristic and the cuco workshop quite disapointing
