What to do and see in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Wurttemberg: The Best Sightseeing Tours

February 22, 2022 Velvet Mowry

The city of Freiburg im Breisgau sits austerely on the edge of the Black Forest. Home to one of Germany’s oldest universities and a Gothic sandstone cathedral, it’s a hub for academics and medieval history buffs. Chug German suds at a local brewery, then hop a cable car up Schauinsland mountain, where astounding views and a solar observatory await.

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.

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.

Chris has organized amazing trip around central Switerland for our VIP family of 5. He paid attention to every detail and was extremely helpful. Without him, planning this trip could be very problematic. He also made a surprise for girls' birthdays offering them customized chocolate. He is also very knowledgeable and kind person. Highly recommended!
