2.00Trip included a visit to Black, Forest and Rhine Falls. The guide was mediocre not really interested in answering questions. Bus was too hot bus driver didn’t know how to adjust the temperature microphone didn’t work well.

1.00Scariest bus driver I have ever seen. Not sure what his deal was but Oye Vie. The tour guide was nice but did not provide us with much history or background or information The one good thing he did was scold the driver for his driving but it didn’t help much as he still almost cut a car off, turned on a red light cutting off a tram and a car Sorry the bus ride was so bad it was hard to enjoy the rest
Lived Rhine Falls; Titisee not-so-much.

4.00The excursion was enjoyable because of my ancestral roots to the region. I particularly enjoyed the Rhine Falls boat ride and the guide worked hard to make it enjoyable. However, the guide over-sells the Titisee and Black Forest region, as what we see isn’t as dense as legend has it, and the double-decker bus is too full of people for the cuckoo clock store demo to be effective. Oh, and the driver nearly ruined the trip for all of us with his aggressive driving on curved roads….. I got a little car sick and bumped my head once on the seat in front of me.
