Many thanks to Simone for our amazing experience in the Black Forest! From making our hotel reservations, setting up a private walking tour of Freiburg (Barbel is a terrific and very knowledgeable guide), a full day private tour of the Black Forest by Simone herself, and setting up car transportation for us to Basel, Simone is simply phenomenal and absolutely wants her clients to have the best experience possible! Simone, many thanks for sharing your love of the area, showing us how the locals "live", the great conversations, and your patience (especially in our indecision on which cuckoo clock to buy!). We will visit the Black Forest area again and look forward to our next tour with you!

If you are wondering if you should splurge on this tour, the answer is absolutely YES! After a month-long European vacation filled with dozens of tours, every member of our family agrees that our day with Black Forest Tours was far and away our favorite. Why? Because this company has something that we have never seen anywhere else. They LOVE this area, they are extremely knowledgeable, and they truly CARE deeply about creating a unique experience that you will never forget. We were treated like family from the start. This might sound overstated, but it's not. Days before the tour, we received a survey asking about our interests. Simone responded with ideas based on our answers and curated the perfect day for us. We went hiking, saw waterfalls, went on an amazingly terrifying bridge, rode the best toboggan coaster, and sampled the most amazing foods, all while our guide was getting to know each member of our family. The experience was one that immediately became one of our greatest life memories. What was really shocking was that, after reading through other reviews, I realized that our experience was so different from everyone else's and yet they all loved it. This company truly listens to what you want and knows enough about the area to focus on the parts that you might enjoy most (although I do not think you can go wrong there!). In a world where people seem to be going through the motions and looking for the next instagram photo-op, this was a truly authentic experience with people who are passionate about showing you the best of this incredible area. In a perfect world, this is what all tours would be like. We can't wait to go back!

This was the perfect way to experience the black forest region. Simone was amazing at really tailoring the experience to what we wanted to see and do and then also included hidden gems we would have never known about. We were able to stop in multiple towns and experience so much food that was unique to the area. She even knew about a wine festival that was happening in Freiburg and recommended we check it out, and we had a blast!

I went on the Black Forest Tour by car starting in Freiburg, and it was an amazing experience! The tour was very personalized, making us feel like we were visiting friends. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, showing us hidden gems and beautiful spots only locals know about. The flexibility in the itinerary was great, and we could customize our tour to match our interests. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Black Forest in a unique and authentic way.
