Tour of Freiburg, Titisee, and Triberg
As is usual in our travels and being passionate about planning them at 82 years old, we always turn to our travel agent to ensure the success of the trip. Once we decided to include Strasbourg in our route of cities to visit, I found this tour of Triberg, Titisee, and Freiburg. Thus, our travel agent made the reservation for us through Abnoba Tours without imagining the extraordinary experience we were going to have. On June 17th, through a message from Daniel, he met us in front of the Strasbourg train station. And there, along with 4 other people, this tour began, one of the best we have had on our 2026 trip. Daniel, a young entrepreneur, showed us his charisma and enthusiasm for providing the tour with a wealth of unique experiences. The driver-guide, knowledgeable about the route we were going to take and speaking in Spanish and French, narrated the characteristics of each city we were going to visit. We thus arrived in Triberg, a charming city with its waterfalls, and Daniel, our faithful companion, indicated the route, walking time, all framed in his kindness and characteristic smile. One thing I highlight among Daniel's many virtues is his travel style, emphasizing the visual aspect, the contemplation of landscapes without exaggerating dates or geographical details, only what is necessary to locate us in the region and clearly describe its particularities. Titisee was the second point we reached, with the attraction of the lake and a charming village. To conclude in Freiburg, where Daniel, along with us and the other tourists, guided us through the main attractions of this magnificent city, explaining the most relevant aspects of various sites and giving us time to walk and even enjoy a delicious refreshment and a slice of apple pie at Café Gmeiner. The return to Strasbourg was peaceful, with complete knowledge of the routes, a prudent driver, and in absolute silence, as if granting us time to continue contemplating the natural beauty. Our sincere congratulations, Daniel, which add to those we offered you personally, wishing you much success in your business and encouraging other travelers to use your services to enjoy themselves from start to finish.

Lovely change of pace in the German countryside
A great day out in the countryside with a wonderful guide and driver (Peak). It was a relaxed pace with plenty of free time at each stop and magnificent views along the way. Highly recommend if you’d like a day out of the city of Strasbourg and a taste of Germany.

From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Strasbourg.
How much does From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $228 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Strasbourg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Strasbourg is not rushed.
Is From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Strasbourg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Strasbourg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Strasbourg and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Strasbourg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Strasbourg?
+
On Outty we rank every Strasbourg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Strasbourg Food Tour - A Taste of Tradition by Do Eat Better, Strasbourg: small group walking tour between history and curiosities, Colmar, Medieval Village & Castle Small Group from Strasbourg. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Strasbourg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Strasbourg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; Entrance fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Meals; Carbonated beverages; Tea and coffee; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip?
+
The driver will be waiting next to the Taxi station on the left of the central train station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for From Strasbourg: Black Forest Day Trip?
