What people are saying about Freiburg

This tour exceeded my expectations. The group size was small -- only seven of us total, including myself and my husband. This allowed us to set our own pace and sort of "vote" on what we wanted to prioritize or do. As our guide, Didier, told us at the beginning "This is not the sort of tour where you have to run after the man with the little flag". He encouraged us to wander and explore a little. He did a great job giving us plenty of good information without over-talking, and was always knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had. The place we had lunch was tasty, affordable, and down-to-earth. It had vegetarian options as well that were still regional and featured local cuisine. I have no complaints. Didier honestly went above and beyond to ensure that we all had a great day.

Φτάσαμε και παρκάραμε πολύ εύκολα. Πολύ όμορφο πάρκο. Η καθε γωνιά του και κάτι διαφορετικό. Πολλά σόου που εντυπωσιάζουν τα παιδιά. Μεγάλη ευκολία τα τρενάκια που σε κάνουν βόλτα μέσα στο πάρκο ειδικά αργά το απογευμα που εχεις κουραστει απ τις βολτες και βρισκεσαι μακρια απο την εξοδο του παρκου.

Awesome so informative and brought the horror of the experience of the persecution to life - very well done and impressive depth of information

Didier our tour guide has been really nice and helpful. Was an interesting tour over three states. During Christmas time even better!

Great day spent at Europa Park, enjoying the site and most of its attractions
