At Black Forest Tours we cater to English-speaking travelers who want to see the real Black Forest, as only locals can. We make sure you don’t feel like a tourist but rather like a friend who is visiting. Everyone is unique and your visit to The Black Forest will be unique too. We listen to your wants and needs, then provide options from which you can choose what to see and at a pace appropriate for you – so that you can experience The Black Forest like a local.

We work with an extensive network of locals to make your visit to the Black Forest a memorable experience. Whether you are a solo visitor or a small group, we can create a wonderful experience for you.

If you feel a bit overwhelmed planning, or running short on time to plan, have concerns about the German language, German menus and German customs, you are in good company. With Black Forest Tours you have the freedom to do your own thing while having us around to guide you when needed… READ SOME TESTIMONIALS
