Excellent tour with interesting, engaging commentary.

Excellent: interesting details about the city, told in an easy-to-understand way, just the right length (90 minutes), not too fast and not too slow. Recommended!

A morning tour would have been even better. But our guide did an excellent job despite the sun and heat.

We really enjoyed the tour (as well as the city of Freiburg), thanks in large part to the knowledgeable and professional guide, Ms. Forestier.
