A great day out in the Black Forest

5.00Had a great day out in the Black Forest and Rhine Falls made all the more special by our tour guide, Urs. His knowledge of the regions that we visited was excellent and he explained things in great detail whilst being entertaining at the same time. He was very attentive and nothing was too much bother for him. I don't think that he'd mind me saying that for a gentleman of his age he is a dynamo and his communication skills with several different nationalities was very impressive. If you're lucky enough to get Urs as your tour guide in the future then you've struck gold.
What a breathtaking...

5.00The trip was good. The feedback is for this feedback form. This feedback form is too long. the "Next" button is not enabled to allow going to the next page until at least 100 letters are typed. That seems unnecessary.

4.00Great trip, but be prepared for a long day on winding roads. Sit in the front of the bus if prone to being bus sick. Nice way to check off two items from your bucket list. Good driver/good guide.
