From the owner: 170 kilomètres de vignobles à découvrir Cette route qui s'étend entre Mulhouse et Strasbourg offre…read morenon seulement des paysages magnifiques, mais aussi la visite d'une soixantaine de villages typiques et bien sûr la dégustation des vins produits dans la région. Parmi les lieux les plus touristiques, citons Riquewihr, Kaysesberg, mais aussi Guebwiller et son couvent des Dominicains, sans oublier Colmar. Ces villages, qui ont su conserver leur charme d'antan avec des ruelles piétonnes, les balcons fleuris de géraniums, les maisons à colombages, gagnent réellement à être visités en dehors des périodes et des heures d'affluence. Privilégiez le printemps qui peut être très ensoleillé, ou l'automne où les vendanges et le vin nouveau donnent un attrait supplémentaire. Autour de Noël, ces villages revêtent leur habit de lumière et si le froid et la neige vous effraient, soyez assurés de vous réchauffer avec le vin chaud et les Braedele proposés dans tous les marchés de Noël. Pour découvrir tous

We were able to stop by the office and chat with her and came away very impressed by her integrity and honesty. She was unable to guarantee a guide would be available and provide us with a 100% satisfactory experience so she made the decision not to book our tour. While we were obviously disappointed we respected her decision to not take our money and provide anything less than her ideal of what her company represents. Her concern was for both our and her guides mutual benefit. She was very warm and helpful in suggesting alternatives we could enjoy and self tour by train. Based on our experience with Simone I would absolutely not hesitate to book a tour with Black Forest Tours if we were to return to Freiburg. I am sure it would be an experience that we would cherish forever.

I found Simone through surfing the web and am so glad I did. She's wonderful, caring, and really made sure we had a great time. We instantly connected with her (she used to work around our neighborhood in the States) as if we've known her forever. One thing we really appreciated is that she didn't mind us using our new car instead of hers, which is how she normally conducts her tours. We learned a lot about the Black Forest as Simone is very knowledgeable about its history and the various backstories surrounding it. Every place she took us had a story that's rich and inspiring! There's still so much to see and the next time we visit, we'll make sure to get in touch with Simone again. Not only did we fully enjoy her tour, we also made a new friend. You rock, Simone! Thanks for making memories with us. We hope to see you again soon!!!

Walking tour of Zurich? How about a free 2 hour walking tour of Zurich? Now you're talking…read more Met at 11am on a Monday when all the museums were closed, at the Credit Suisse in the Paradeplatz, one of the world's most expensive and exclusive shopping areas. Must have been at least 100 people there. Fortunately about 20 peeled off for the Spanish speaking tour. Julian was our guide, a great story teller with an abundance of jokes. At the Fraumünster church, we discovered tiny hieroglyphics carved into the stones. This was to keep track of which artisan packed which stones into the structure, for pay purposes. We stop by a statue of a burgermeister, condemned to death not for killing dogs, but for raising taxes! We wander through St Peter Church - one of the four main churches in Zurich whose clock face is the largest in all of Europe; We check out the restaurant where famous painters as Picasso, Chagall, Giacometti paid for their food with their own paintings. The restaurant owners sold the paintings right away, instead of keeping them until they appreciated in value. Next, we check out the house where Lenin was living before returning to Russia, leading the 1917 revolution. We go along the Limmatquai with many buildings dating from the days of the rich Guilds that governed Zurich. We wander through the Lindenhof and Roman Baths - the historical site of a Roman castle situated on a hillside, with great views of Old Town. Did you know that Albert Einstein and 20 Nobel Prize winners were students at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology? At the end of the 2 hour free tour Julian poses with a group for Facebook picture under "Free walk Zurich", passes out postcards with the logo, and collects tips, once again at the Paradeplatz. With 100 people, and an average of CHF3 per tip per person, Julian is a walking piggy bank, and takes no chances with his travel bag, now heavy with CHF bills. He walks only a few steps to make an in person deposit at the nearest bank! Or does he keep part of the stash hidden from the authorities?

We only had 1 full day in Zurich so we wanted to get the most out of it. We actually ended up doing 2 Free Walking Tours Zurich. The old Zurich tour and the Zurich West tour. We had such a blast getting to know more about such a beautiful city. The Old Zurich tour was much more crowded. Our guide was amazing. Explained a lot and told us great stories about the city. She even recommended a place for lunch which was delicious. The Zurich West tour was good, but not as great as the morning tour. Our guide was knowledgeable but we didn't feel like we learned as much. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Zurich

There were two stops, ten-minutes at Hafen Enge Kiosk, on Lake Zurich, and 15-minutes at the Fraumunster Church, which gave plenty of time to see the Marc Chagall windows. I enjoyed the tour. Tour narration is available in eight languages, including English -- each person using a personal headset -- and audio worked flawlessly. The bus -- built to resemble a trolly car -- was comfortable and clean, the windows were spotless, and were open wide because it was a warm day. Our driver, Walter, did a good job operating the audio and driving the bus, but was flat otherwise. To be fair to Walter, it is hard to have flair when the bus is filled with strangers, speaking several different languages, as well as contending with Zurich Old Town traffic. The ticket booth is located at, and all tours depart from, the SihlquaiI Bus Terminal, located 200 meters behind the Zurich main train station. Five Stars.
