Black Forest Day Tour

Excellent full-day tour of the Black Forest in November 2023. Henry is a fine gentleman and a wonderful tour guide. His tour of the Black Forest was expertly arranged. We drove and hiked through a variety of locations - forests, streams, lakes, waterfalls, villages - all with beautiful views. Henry is quite knowledgeable about this part of the world and was a great companion. Highly recommend this tour!

We really enjoyed our day! Henry was fantastic! Did a little hike, got some pretty pictures in the forest. Some wine tasting, a great lunch, and saw a few of the small villages in the Black Forest area! Also got some good advice from Henry for spending our evening in Heidelberg!
Only recommendation- spend more than a day in the area!

If you want to see the best of the Black Forest with the best tour guide, then you should book this tour! Henry is extremely knowledgeable of the area. The views are spectacular! First, we stopped and hiked in the cool, peaceful Black Forest to a waterfall. Then we went to a large lake and saw cuckoo clocks made from trees of the Black Forest and hiked to the highest point of the Forest over-looking the Rhine Valley. After the hike, we had a delicious lunch and dessert (traditional sspatzle, maultaschen and Black Forest cake- lunch not included in tour price).

We thought Henry was great. Starting off with a walking tour in Heidelberg, we got to know the city very well. And had ample time to see the castle and walked the grounds at our leisure. He was very knowledgeable of all things seen that day, including the Black Forest. He took us a good time to avoid crowds and made sure we had time to do the things we wanted to (Black Forest cake, wineries). We were comfortable enough with him where we could call him friend. Highly recommend. He loves Elvis.

My sister, dad and I did the Black Forest tour with Henry. Hands down the best day of our whole trip!! Henry was very knowledgeable about the forest, areas, and everything in between! He was able to answer every question we threw at him!! He didn’t care that my sister and I stopped to take photos of everything!! We hiked to the top of a mountain where we could see France in the distance!! Henry took us to lunch, let us shop, went to a vineyard (yummyyy!), and got to see the beautiful little town of Baden-Baden. He even dropped us off at the train station and went inside with us to help us get the correct tickets (we didn’t know German well at all lol)!! I would do this tour every week if I could!! 10000/10 recommend!!!

My husband and I were traveling to the Black Forest area for the first time and didn't know where to start or what all to see. I contacted Henry and he created an itinerary for us based on my very basic input. The day was well structured with some beautiful hiking through the forest in the morning, a traditional local lunch, more sweeping mountaintop hiking, and a stop at a local black forest village and winery for a tasting. Henry is a history aficionado and knew so many facts about the area and where we had stayed beforehand (Baden-Baden), and was an incredibly thoughtful guide and host for the day. We've been on several day tours on other vacations, but this was by far the best and served as a very memorable experience for our first time in Germany. I cannot recommend Henry's services enough!

I just want to say thank you to Henry for a very entertaining and informative trip. Henry certainly knows the territory and his very english gentlemanly manner was a delight. Highly recommended.
