2 Hours Private Guided Walking Tour of Freiburg
Overview
On and around Freiburg we discover the charm of both the capital of the Black Forest and the city of sustainable tourism. We learn about the legend of the Swabian merchant who fell in love with the city and proposed to buy it. With good reason because he was fascinated to see the typical Bächle, the beautiful and imposing Münster cathedral, with the Gothic tower defined as the most beautiful in Christianity? We admire the mosaic decorations of the sidewalks and the splendid bay windows of the buildings. But that's not all, we walk through enchanting narrow streets and elegant shops. The tour allows you to discover the medieval city, the birth of the free municipality, its historical development up to the present day: today it is the city of sustainability and green economy.

Vittoria ha accompagnato il nostro gruppo alla scoperta di Friburgo. Ha organizzato per noi un Tour bilingue in italiano e tedesco ed ha inserito elementi per una visita guidata con bambini. I piccoli del gruppo hanno ricevuto una cartellina con diverse attività da svolgere nei punti in cui ci siamo fermati per ascoltare le spiegazioni. È stato il tour perfetto, creato su misura per noi. A tutti è rimasto un ottimo ricordo della gita!
