Black Forest Tours

My fiancee and I were planning on visiting Germany and were looking for something unique to end our trip with when after some research I found Black Forest Tours. Touring the Black Forest has long been a bucket list item for me and with my 50th birthday happening my fiancee decided that this was her gift. After working with Simone on what we wanted to visit and do, she came up with a plan tailored for us. We opted for a 4 day hike/5 nights trip plan which would include hiking, visiting towns we were interested in, and schnapps fountains that I heard so much about.When we arrived in our first town at the train station, we were immediately met by a driver who took us to the first hotel: a lovely spa hotel in the mountains where the next morning we'd start our adventure. The room was relaxing with a balcony view of the small town church and village below. In our room, we found a bag filled with maps, goodies, and information from Simone Brixel detailing our next 5 days hiking.After breakfast the next morning, we started our hike through the Black Forest which was amazing. We couldn't believe the views and sights that we saw on just the first day. After a hard hike (we had small day packs and hiking poles which really helped), we arrived at the next town and the next hotel with our suitcases waiting for us in our room. The hiking was challenging but extremely fun even in the rain. The directions provided by Simone were detailed and extremely accurate and easy to follow.Each hotel was fantastic (although some were better than others) but we enjoyed them all. Each town had charm and was off the beaten path which was exactly what we were looking for. The food was excellent, the people were nice, and the experience is not to be missed.I cannot recommend Black Forest Tours enough and can't wait to head back for another experience with them.

Simone Brixel's Black Forest Tours are absolutely amazing!Simone's organizational & communication skills are astounding from the very first email response right up to the details for your departure day. So the trip was extremely well organized with more than adequate information regarding navigation and transport options if needed. The scenery on the trails was sensational, the villages beautiful and the accommodation was so much better than expected. I used the new navigation app which worked well although I did make one navigational error but that was my fault for being a bit lax. Overall the Black Forest Tour was a great multi day hike and a most worthwhile experience! Thank you Simone.kind regardsKenn

Super Service und eine tolle zusammenarbeit

Ein Erlebnis nicht nur für Wanderer, der Schwarzwald ruft

What an outstanding Tour; we highly recommend it. Simone customised an 8 night trip in 4 mediaeval towns with us in Australia. The hotels and breakfasts were excellent, and having our luggage moved between hotels was an added bonus. The Apps and booklet outlining accommodation, points of interest, multiple hikes (we always knew where we were) and recommended cafes and restaurants saved us an enormous amount of time. Thanks Simone, your organisation and communication is outstanding, and we had the best time!

Die von Simone ausgewählten Touren sind individuell und die empfohlenen Hotels und Gasthäuser liebevoll ausgesucht. So konnten wir auf unserer kleinen Rundreise die schönsten Plätze besuchen, die wir allein nie entdeckt hätten.Herzlichen Dank und eine unbedingte Empfehlung!

Our favorite tour of all of the ones we took in Europe was with Simone. She personalized our tour and was flexible to change it up on the fly when the weather changed. Simone is quick to communicate and keep in touch before and during the tour. When we come back to the Black Forest area, Simone will be the first person we contact.

My husband and I went on a black forest tour with Simone last week and had a wonderful time. The tour group consisted of only the three of us and it was perfect. Simone is kind, friendly and very knowledgeable of the area.. everything you would want in a tour leader. I have already recommended her tours to my colleagues who visit Freiburg and would encourage anyone looking for a great tour to reach out to her as well.

Black Forest Tours with Simone is truly a customized experience. Simone takes care to insure that each tour she provides is geared to the individual and what and how they want to experience the Black Forest This is not a cookie cutter tour but one that you help design.Simone has an intimate knowledge of the Black Forest area so she provides history, and insight into this large region of Germany. With our tour we were able to stop in towns and areas that I would have missed on my own or with a large group. Yes, we did see the famed Cuckoo Clocks of the Black Forest but more importantly Simone was able to provide a true Black Forest Experience.
