My parents were visiting Germany for the first time so we decided to spend the day with Black Forest Tours. Simone was... so knowledgeable and was able to share so many insights into the history and current events of the area. The tour also allowed us to see so many unique places in one day without having to deal with the hassle of figuring out the logistics of how to get from point A to point B while hiking in a foreign country. We would definitely recommend her and would love to go back to the beautiful Black Forest area in the future!read more

My friend and I went on a private tour with Simone this week. We knew the Black Forest was on our must do list of... activities but were overwhelmed by the possibilities and hiking options. Taking this tour was the best decision we made for our trip. Not only did we luck out with perfect weather, but we had the perfect tour and felt completely satisfied with the experience. from waterfalls and hikes to coo coo clocks and black forest centric foods, we covered it all within a few hours. After the tour Simone gave us recommendations for places to go in Freiburg (check out the Freierling Brewery) and also gave us tips for the rest of our European trip, which I have to say were extraordinary recommendations. Do this tour and hope for Simone it's worth every penny.read more

Hello Simone, My wife and I would like to thank you for arranging our tour for us. We really appreciate your... professionalism while dealing with our changing plans and patience you had shown through endless email conversations. In the end you gave us a tour my family enjoyed thoroughly. In addition, please convey our gratitude to driver Manne who is absolutely fabulous. He is resourceful, informative and very helpful. My wife and I had interesting conversation with him throughout the tour about history of Black Forest and various local traditions. He never seemed annoyed with my questions, though I tried my best ;) We are already planning to visit Black Forest in few years time for a leisurely vacation and needless to say, I will be contacting you. Thanks againread more

Simone provided us with all kind of information,... maps & brochures to help us, she was always ready to answer our questions anytime and she even helped us explore Freibourg-im- breisgau (that we wanted to discover on our own) by giving us maps and documents! We will definitely be back to the magnificent BF!! ❤️ (S.Abinader)read more

Our tour with Simone was just brilliant! Simone is such an easy going person, the kind of person that you actually... consider a friend by the end of the day. She was super knowledgeable and made the day about us and what we wanted to see and do. She was also great for offering advice about lots of different things. We will definitely be doing another tour when we return as we know it will be worth it!! Could not recommend Simone and her tour company more - just perfect :)read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Simone. When planning our trip we were overwhelmed with all of the choices of what... to do and where to go in the Black Forest. We found Black Forest Tours and opted for the 8 hour tour, and we were not disappointed! She took us to see both the world's widest and largest cuckoo clocks, the Triberg waterfall, castle ruins, and a beautiful town. Along the way we learned so much about German history and culture. We tried Black Forest Ham and spaghetti ice cream, and she gave us a heads up about a local wine festival to attend once the tour was over which was a lot of fun. There is no way we would have gotten this much value over even a week on our own, and the tour felt customized to everything we had hoped to see. We highly recommend Black Forest Tours!read more

My fiancee and I were planning on visiting Germany and were looking for something unique to end our trip with when... after some research I found Black Forest Tours. Touring the Black Forest has long been a bucket list item for me and with my 50th birthday happening my fiancee decided that this was her gift. After working with Simone on what we wanted to visit and do, she came up with a plan tailored for us. We opted for a 4 day hike/5 nights trip plan which would include hiking, visiting towns we were interested in, and schnapps fountains that I heard so much about. When we arrived in our first town at the train station, we were immediately met by a driver who took us to the first hotel: a lovely spa hotel in the mountains where the next morning we'd start our adventure. The room was relaxing with a balcony view of the small town church and village below. In our room, we found a bag filled with maps, goodies, and information from Simone Brixel detailing our next 5 days hiking. After breakfast the next morning, we started our hike through the Black Forest which was amazing. We couldn't believe the views and sights that we saw on just the first day. After a hard hike (we had small day packs and hiking poles which really helped), we arrived at the next town and the next hotel with our suitcases waiting for us in our room. The hiking was challenging but extremely fun even in the rain. The directions provided by Simone were detailed and extremely accurate and easy to follow. Each hotel was fantastic (although some were better than others) but we enjoyed them all. Each town had charm and was off the beaten path which was exactly what we were looking for. The food was excellent, the people were nice, and the experience is not to be missed. I cannot recommend Black Forest Tours enough and can't wait to head back for another experience with them.read more

Our favorite tour of all of the ones we took in Europe was with Simone. She personalized our tour and was flexible to... change it up on the fly when the weather changed. Simone is quick to communicate and keep in touch before and during the tour. When we come back to the Black Forest area, Simone will be the first person we contact.read more

Well organized tour with excellent hotels and scenery. I have completed all the hikes including bonus routes and it is... not harder than moderate difficulty. There are a lot of places to stop by to get food or rest also wells along the path to refill with water. Both the Red Deer and the Complete Black Forest hikes are highly recommended to do.read more

Black Forest Tours prepared an amazing trip for us - very detailed trail maps with lots of 'extras' and info about the... area. They also booked great hotels and each day our luggage was transferred without any issue (and usually waiting for us in our room). I HIGHLY recommend booking your next trip to the Black Forest with them!read more

When planning our trip to Germany, my mom and I knew we wanted to see the Black Forest. Of course, we didn’t know all... that the Black Forest could offer and really wasn’t sure what to do with our time there. Upon booking our tour with Black Forest Tours, we still weren’t completely sure what to see and do. However, Simone listened to our interests and made the perfect day. We saw parts of the Black Forest we would never see on a major tour bus with a lot of people. Like visiting a small farmers grocers where we got to taste local fruits and schnapps! We also visited a small locally owned mill where we had the opportunity to taste some delicious Black Forest Ham. And, of course, we visited a quaint town with the best cake! Simone catered the entire day to us and made us feel comfortable the whole time. It was a huge relief having someone that was very familiar with the area and language. We never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Simone has spent a lot of time in the U.S and understands the cultural differences that come with traveling to a new country you aren’t familiar with. She even went over and beyond a normal tour guide and helped us navigate the rest of our time in Europe, not just The Black Forest. I recommend anyone traveling to the Black Forest area of Germany to book a tour with the Black Forest Tours. You will not regret visiting the beautiful area and having a knowledgeable tour guide by your side!read more

So excited to write this review. The Black Forest has always intrigued me, so I knew I must visit. I found Simone’s... website Black Forest Tours late in my travel planning stage. Between her and I, we finally found a date that worked. And I am so happy we did! I was on a European adventure for over three weeks, and the Black Forest tour is definitely one of the top highlights. Simone is the perfect travel hostess who knows the area! We had such a fun time, it was almost like traveling with my BFF! She took me to some amazing sites; beautiful churches, a working farm, authentic German shops, a gorgeous waterfall, a hidden lake, fantastic “the hills are alive” scenic lookouts, sampling of yummy cake, and searching for the perfect cuckoo clock!...I now have my favorite hanging in my home. Would highly recommend Simone and her Black Forest Tour!!read more

I decided to do just the 5 hour drive only tour . Must say that one can definitely do it on your own for far less than... what I paid. Just my laziness to not do any homework. One can easily hire a car from freiburg and drive to the points of interest if you goggle it..very pleasant driver and excellent route but not worth paying so much. One can do it on their own for less than the amount i paid. Am sure the guided tour must by a better option.read more

I toured the Black Forest with my husband and 2 children (ages 10 and 11) and had a fantastic time! Simone was very... accommodating, adjusting the tour to what we were interested in.

I hope to be able to return to this beautiful area to do more hiking and exploring and will definitely contact Simone again!!read more

I could live in The Black Forest area. Thank you Simone.read more

Highly recommend touring with Simone and Black Forest Tours. It was difficult to find a tour operator offering winter... tours in the area, everone seems closed until spring. We also were looking for a last-minute tour. But nothing was a problem once we got in touch with Black Forest Tours - Simone was responsive and we were set up in no time to tour the Black Forest on a guided tour. I don't think we could have done it on our own considering the weather - you really need a local person who knows how to get away from all the traffic jams and road closures due to snow. Thanks Simone for a wonderful day! We will be back to tour some more - but probably in summer next time!read more

I am so glad I booked this tour with Simone to see the Black Forest. This visit was very important to me and I only had... one day to see everything I wanted to. There was no way I could have seen all that I did that was so specific to what I really wanted to experience while I was here and more than I ever expected! Simone has such extensive knowledge of this area, the history and current day and I learnt so much. Simone really cares that you get the absolute most out of every minute of your time in the area and made everything so easy! I would recommend these tours to anyone wanting the very best the Black Forest has to offer and I can't wait to visit again to see more!! read more

Your travel guide surpassed all expectations. I cant recommend your tours enough. They are so refreshingly different... from the guide book that "recommends everything". Your guide was spot on for us. No wasted time seeing boring stuff or time spent lost trying to find our way. We thought we had enough time to see the area, but after taking your tour, we realize how much more there is to see. We plan to return. The level of detail of your guide, a lot to read, but it helped us plan some delightful side-trips as well as getting us places we would have never found on our own. Thanks for that. Absolutely worth more than you charge!read more
