Things to do in Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg: The Best Private Tours

October 2, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Fairytale villages, thermal baths, casinos and pine and birch-blanketed mountains beckon travelers to southwestern Germany's Black Forest. Scenic drives and train trips showcase the best of the area. Skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, boating and ice-skating are popular activities. Baden-Baden's Roman-Irish baths, 19th-century performance hall, casino and fresco-adorned Pump Room are much visited. Gothic masterpiece Freiburg Cathedral and its famous Boys' Choir also draw visitors.

Our initial tour was planned in May, for our Honeymoon, unfortunately this was cancelled due to corona virus. We rescheduled our trip to March 2021. We contacted Ophorus to re-arrange. Michelle was completely understanding and moved our booking, without any extra fees or hassle. She responded extremely quickly, for which we was most grateful. Unfortunately, our honeymoon was cancelled on us for a second time, so we reached out to Michelle again to ask for a refund. Once again, we received a very quick reply, which was great. I work for a small business so understand the importance of cash for small businesses, but once again there was no hassle, and our refund has been processed. I cannot be thankful enough. When the travel restrictions ease, we will certainly be re-booking with Ophorus, there customer service has been excellent. There has been no language barrier issues, the English has been excellent. I wish everyone who reads this review to book with Ophorus. Going by my experience so far they will not be disappointed. Many thanks to Ophorus from us during these difficult times. I wish you well.

Once you are there you don't need a car, everything is within walking distance. They call Baden Baden a spa town, but it's much more, yes there are plenty of spa's to relax in but the scenery and local walking paths are amazing, if you're a hiker there are so many trail options to choose from. You can hike from the centre of town to the top of the Merkur Mountain in an hour where you'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the town and surrounding countryside. Baden Baden is the most chilled out town I've ever been to. It has a host of wonderful restaurants, cafe's and Ice cream parlours, everything from Pizza to fine dinning at the Wintergarden in Brenners Hotel.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

Martin was our tour guide for this day trip to Baden Baden and the Black Forest. Extremely scenic drive and beautiful city. A day well spent - would recommend staying back a night in the city to take in all it has to offer. Martin made all the efforts to make this tour memorable by making sure we covered all the important experiences. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone - do ask for Martin while booking.
