Full description

Explore the picturesque and green city of Freiburg during a wonderful walking tour through the old town.

See the famous Freiburger Bächle, the small waterways along the streets and alleys, and the contorted alleys called Gässle, as well as many of the colorful Rheinkiesel-mosaics, which give the city its distinctive atmosphere.

Head to Minster Square with its beautiful community centers and secular buildings and see the traditional farmers' market (in the morning) as well as many cafés and pubs called Beizen. Start your tour at the town hall square, where your guide will be waiting for you. From the beginning, you will see this square boasts numerous historic buildings.

From there, continue across the Kaiser-Joseph-Street, the former grand boulevard of medieval Freiburg, and head towards the Freiburg Minster, the cultural center of the historical old town and an exceptional example of medieval Gothic. Discover the bizarrely shaped gargoyles, the delicate steeple, and the colorful farmers' market on Minster Square. Explore some of the historic sights around the impressive cathedral.

See the historic department store, the Alte Wache, the Haus zum schönen Eck and many more. Continue along the Konviktstraßen, one of the most beautiful alleys in Freiburg, until you get to the Handwerkerviertel.

Beatrice was very friendly and considerate. She took us on a tour of the sights and streets around the Munster and Rathaus area and shared some interesting details and stories. The tour proceeded at a leisurely pace and would be particularly ideal for older visitors.

Iris is a wonderful guide. Her energy is contagious and she’s an excellent storyteller. Our train arrived late but she was very accommodating and let us catch up with the tour. We didn’t know anything about Freiburg before, but everything we learned on the tour made us fall in love with it.

Sehr abwechslungsreiche, interessante und kurzweilige Führung durch die Freiburger Altstadt. Guide Iris hat die Gruppe sehr kompetent, engagiert und sympathisch begleitet. Gruppengröße mit ca. 30 Personen allerdings recht groß; trotzdem: absolute Empfehlung !!!
