Due to low participation in the Cologne & Limburg trip, it has been changed to a tour of Baden-Baden, the Black Forest, and Strasbourg. We had an absolutely incredible experience with our tour guide, Peter. He was exceptionally friendly, endlessly patient, deeply passionate, and impressively knowledgeable. Peter’s dedication and enthusiasm made every moment of our trip not just enjoyable, but unforgettable. He gave us all the time and flexibility we needed, ensuring a stress-free and personalized experience. Truly outstanding!

Sascha, the guide is very knowledgeable about the city, and takes you by the Cathedral, old Roman ruins, the famous ‘love lock bridge’, and significant buildings in the old town, all accompanied by investing stories and facts.
