Bike & Hike – St Peter’s Way

I highly recommend using Simone & Black Forest Tours. I hiked solo for 3 consecutive days and had zero issues the entire time. Simone has a great system & program start to finish that really takes away the stresses of it all. She had my all my lodging locked down with no check-in problems as they were expecting me. My luggage transfers were always there waiting for me. The inns themselves were nice and so were all the people at each place. The hike in The Black Forest was awesome and the app she creates for your hike is fool proof - pretty much impossible to get lost. Simone was also very responsive to any questions I had. I honesty cannot think of any negative feedback to give - just a wonderful experience. Again, I strongly recommend going with Simone and her company Black Forest Tours.

Our experience on the St Peters way was absolutely amazing. From the first day of communicating with Simone, the whole process was clear and smooth. The app made navigating really easy and gave us a sense of safety when in doubt. For travellers who are looking for adventures and the feeling of freedom, without the worries of planning, we highly recommend Black Forest tours. The hike is gorgeous and we really enjoyed the scenic landscape views as well as the diversity of the forest. All in all, the whole tour exceeded our expectations.

We had a fantastic experience on our self-guided walking tour of the Black Forest (St Peter's Trail). The tour was extremely well-organized; we had a booklet with detailed historical and practical information about the towns we'd be visiting, as well as maps of our hikes. Black Forest Tours also has an app, which we downloaded and used to guide us on the trails. I highly recommend using the app, we always knew where we were and, if we veered off the trail, we could see where we were in relationship to it and were quickly able to get back on track. The staff moved our luggage to the next hotel while we hiked, so when we arrived our belongings were waiting for us. All the hotels where we stayed were excellent. The rooms were stylish and comfortable and the bathrooms had all the desirable modern amenities. All our hotels had restaurants on-site, and the food and service were excellent. My husband and I were extremely pleased with our experience and would highly recommend Black Forest Hikes.

This Black Forest Tour trip with a three day hike in the forest was much more than we expected. Simone was so helpful in putting together the material which was available online and in our hotel room when we arrived the first day.
The selection of the hotels and places to stop were excellent, along with a comprehensive guide (printed and in an APP). My sister and I walked the three-day St. Peter's Way trail and it was wonderful. We used both the printed guide and the GPS APP and we were never lost or confused along the way. Simone pointed out some highlights to watch for, and we did, taking advantage of her expertise. Yes it did sprinkle a little one of the days on the hike (last day), but otherwise, the weather was bright and sunny and we were so lucky to have that.
The hotel staff at each hotel were very welcoming and charming, noting that we were with Black Forest Tours. It made us feel special and our luggage arrived each day at the next hotel without any problems.

We appreciated all the support that Simone provided, even though we did not have to use any emergency numbers that she gave us. As older women, one over 70, the walk was an absolute delight and within our means - we did use trekking poles which were recommended for anyone doing the hike.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone, young or old - we truly felt like we were in the Fairy Tale land of the German Folk Stories.
And Simone's comprehensive detailed guides (printed and online with GPS) gave us the gift of traveling in confidence with no worries.

From Day 1 when my sister and I checked into our hotel, going through the maps/book in our welcome bag to the very end of our walk into Freiburg, our expectations were fully met. We enjoyed every step along the way. I found the book extremely helpful in guiding us along the path and I literally carried it in my hand the entire time. That along with the App, which we used to confirm our exact location whenever there was the slightest doubt, kept us from ever getting lost. All of the hotels and staff were wonderful to deal with, very kind and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and dinners at the hotels in Hinterzarten and Sonne Hotel were delicious! A very memorable walk!
