Lots of walking in town. Hard if older or difficulty walking or slow. Good guide. Castle is great. Very strep
Our excursion to Baden Baden and the Black Forest was wonderful, also and above all thanks to the sympathy and expertise of our guide Thierry. Not only did he explain everything to us with great precision, but he also managed to entertain us by never making us bored en route to our destinations. Baden Baden is a delightful and famous spa resort to visit absolutely. Get Thierry to recommend the best pastry shop where you can taste the delicious black forest cake. Afterwards we headed through breathtaking landscapes to the black forest, where we stopped at the beautiful Mummelsee lake where we took an extraordinary walk around the lake itself, passing through the woods. Then, continuing, Thierry, led us through a path lined with beautiful chestnut and fern trees, passing on a bed of foliage, until we reached a tiny village almost hidden in the heart of the forest, with the ruins of an ancient and majestic monastery. Experience highly recommended. Again thanks to our fabulous guide Thierry, who made us live this wonderful day.
Our trip to Baden Baden and the Black Forest was excellent! Our guide - Jerome was extremely knowledgable so it was a great learning experience! We had plenty of time to wander ourselves to see the various places we visited and this was balanced really well with information from Jerome. A lovely day and well worth the price!
Great day trip out of France in Germany! Beautiful town and experience Black Forest ! Highly recommend!
We had one day in Germany and this was the perfect trip. Our guide Thierry was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the area and shared a lot of history and cultural norms that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. 10/10 recommend him for a tour guide. Make sure you wear comfortable clothes and good shoes for walking/hiking a little through the Black Forest. It’s a must see. Baden Baden is a quaint town with shopping and cafes. Do not go on a Sunday the shops are closed.
An enjoyable and unforgettable experience of the beautiful Black Forest. Our guide Thierry, was a great host showing us the spa town of Baden Baden, Mumelsee, and passing through the region surrounding the Black Forest. Recommended.
Baden Baden is fantastic little thermal city , really worth it , the lunch stop at lake Mummelsee is a tourist trap and a waste of 3 h . Our guide was fantastic
We went on a Sunday. Most retail shops in Baden-Baden closed. Didn't affect the tour at all. Just saw a previous review that someone would have liked to know that information. Beautiful scenery.
Thierry, our guide, was not only informative, but his sense of humor made it fun. We stopped at the key places, but also a couple places on the route that were a surprise. Overall, it was a wonderful tour. I would definitely recommend it to others.
It was a small group excursion. More relaxing , efficient. And flexible. The guide is great. He tried to meet everyone’s needs. It was a great day!
