The history was great and I enjoyed seeing the historic buildings and learning more about this beautiful city. However, I felt a uncomfortable with the guide. The tour included myself and one other woman. We both had difficulty finding our guide although we were in front of the designated meeting location. When we did connect with the guide, I felt he chastised me for not being in the exact location he was to start the tour. Not a good way to start this tour. The guide talked about his personal life A LOT and made some comments that were unconfutable for someone from the opposite sex. I feel I would have enjoyed this tour much more if I had a different guide.suesA9586QT

Great town to stay in and day trip from. Freiburg em Breisgau is a great modern city with a small town feel. Stay close to Old Town and the Market Square. The beer garden is a short hike up the hill to capture a wonderful view of the valley and the city. Highly recommend!

A sarcastic guide who spoke as much about himself than the city. And a good degree of bluffing. 2 people turned up and were charged half what we paid through trip advisor.
