Explore the Black Forest and Freiburg on a Private Day Trip from Colmar

Embark on a full‑day private tour from Colmar to the Black Forest and the lively university city of Freiburg, travelling in comfort with your own English‑speaking local guide. From the moment you are collected at your hotel in Colmar, relax in a spacious Mercedes minivan reserved just for your group, with plenty of room and clear commentary as you drive across the Rhine into Germany.

Travel in Comfort and Style

Your day unfolds in a modern, air‑conditioned Mercedes minivan, offering comfortable seating and excellent visibility for every guest, so you can sit back and enjoy the scenery while your guide handles the driving and shares stories about Alsace and the Black Forest.

Discover Freiburg, Gateway to the Black Forest

Leaving Alsace, you follow a scenic route to Freiburg im Breisgau, a medieval university town on the edge of the Black Forest. With your guide, stroll the cobbled Old Town, admire the Gothic spire of the Freiburg Minster and see the famous Bächle, the shallow water channels that run along the pavements. After the guided walk, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace, browse shops or sample local specialties in one of the cafés or traditional restaurants.

Scenic Drive through the Black Forest

In the afternoon, your route continues into the Black Forest, a vast wooded mountain range whose dark pine‑clad slopes inspired many Brothers Grimm fairytales. As you follow one of the region’s panoramic roads, you pass through storybook villages and along tranquil lakes, with photo stops to capture sweeping views and, if you wish, to taste regional treats such as Black Forest cake or smoked ham.

The Magic and Flavours of the Black Forest

Along the way, learn how the area became famous for its handcrafted cuckoo clocks, and hear the legends that still cling to its deep forests. If you are a wine enthusiast, your guide can help arrange an optional wine tasting at a selected local winery, giving you the chance to sample German wines alongside the sweet specialties of the region.

Return to Colmar

As the afternoon light softens over the hills, you sit back in the minivan for the relaxing drive back across the Rhine. Your guide returns you to your accommodation in Colmar, with a camera full of photos and a richer sense of the landscapes, flavours and stories that link Alsace with the Black Forest.
