About this tour
A full-day private excursion across the Franco-German border into two contrasting landscapes. Start in Freiburg's Gothic heart—wander its narrow lanes, spot the soaring minster, and browse independent shops—then drive through the Black Forest's rolling terrain of dense pine woods and quiet villages. Your guide navigates; you set the pace. Nine hours total from Strasbourg, with hotel collection and drop-off included.
Highlights
- Freiburg's Gothic minster and cobbled old town on foot
- Timber-framed houses and stream-fed plazas
- Scenic Black Forest drive past pine forests and farmland
- Lunch break in Freiburg at your leisure
- Private minivan with professional guide
- Maximum 8 people for personal attention
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Strasbourg hotel and driven southeast into Germany. Once in Freiburg, your guide walks you through the medieval core—pointing out architectural details and local history—before releasing you for two hours to eat, browse independently, or simply sit. Then it's back to the minivan for a leisurely drive through the Black Forest, stopping at scenic viewpoints and passing through villages that look much as they did centuries ago. The route is deliberately slow-paced; this isn't a dash between checkboxes.
