Greetings from the Black Forest in Germany! My name is Simone and I am a native German (native Black Forest girl that is). After living in San Francisco for more than 15 years working for various tech companies I returned to the Black Forest and settled in Freiburg. After the hectic work-centric lifestyle in the U.S., it took a while to adjust to the laid-back lifestyle of Germany. But now I am again accustomed to sitting in a beer garden discussing the weather and other important things in life. When I returned home to The Black Forest, I met many English speaking visitors who had difficulty finding their way around. That’s because a large part of The Black Forest is inaccessible to non-Germans as a result of the blow-back from mass-tourism. The locals have become a bit resistant to tourism, but I have come to see that as a good thing. The gems remain well hidden. So instead of “just-a-tour”, I offer unique English-speaking Black Forest experiences, as only locals can. We make sure you blend in like a friend who is visiting. Everyone is unique and your visit to The Black Forest will be unique too. We listen to your wants and needs, then provide options from which you can choose what to see and at a pace appropriate for you – so that you can experience The Black Forest like a local.  We offer experiences that are custom-tailored to you – worry-free, hassle-free and (if desired) non-touristy. Our goal is not another budget tour, but rather to create an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience that is priceless.
