Wonderful tour. John is excellent. My only regret is I did not do this on my first day in the city. Found places I had not found on my own and the knowledge he had was enlightening. Time well spent!

I booked the tour for our first day in Freiburg, we turned up a little early, but no tour guide. I checked my phone and the confirmation email was there, sent 3 days earlier, confirming the location, the language of the guide (English) and giving a description of the guide. I sent a text to the phone number and was called a little later by John who explained that he doesn't work Monday's or Tuesday's - they are his days off. He offered to cancel his plans and give us the tour later that day - but after some discussion we agreed to join his Wednesday tour. He then sent a conformation text with his actual description (different from Viator's) The tour follows a route around the old city of Freiburg, John is interested in history and knows all the names and dates, understands the history of the city and had anecdotes to go with most of the buildings. His tour answered many if not all of the questions we had had going round by ourselves two days earlier and included optional extensions should we be interested in other parts of the city also. John is a knowledgeable guide who has a clear affection for his adoptive city. Viator however appears to be incompetent - offering dates that should not have been offered. I do not know that I would book through Viator again.

The Tour guide gave me a fast reply even though I booked this tour one day before very late in the evening. Unfortunately there was a big parade on the day of the guide, so we were not able to complete it. I received part of the expense back.

The guide had to cancel due to illness. He notified us the night before. I will need a full refund. Please credit my card. Thank you, Stephanie

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!

Outstanding tour, if you want to start you stay in Freiburg, do this trip. Gave us a great overview.

Lisa_W

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.

Friendly and very knowledgeable American tour guide, with a passionate interest in history of the city. Very helpful in relation to advice for my stay in Freiburg. Good value for money for the 1.5hour duration.
