Freiburg Self-Guided Audio Tour

Guided tours are great – but they often are booked out on your day of visit. Therefore we have launched a touring app which enables you to explore Freiburg on your own. Our self-guided audio tour of Freiburg allows you to choose the sights you want to see, skip the ones you find boring, go back to something missed. Or even pick up the tour on another day. It’s all up to you.

We show you corners in the old town tourists usually miss.

Our self-guided audio tour is not your typical city walk – instead, we try to keep our tour fun and entertaining and not overwhelm you with lots of historical data. We point out the not-to-be missed sights as well as some of backstreets only locals know about. Packed with lots of background info, local stories and recommendations on where to eat, shop and drink – you will get to know Freiburg as a local, not a tourist.

Highlights

  • See all the main sights of Freiburg and listen to background stories
  • Plenty of recommendations on where to eat, drink and shop. And the best place for a good coffee.
  • Altstadt, Bächle, Kajo, Inselhopf und Münster – we teach you some of the must-know local words while touring Freiburg
  • Climb up the cathedra’s tower for an incredible view of Freiburg
  • Hike up Schlossberg mountain to get some activity in
  • Enjoy a beer in a shady beergarden and get the best view onto Freiburg and the Black Forest

How much time do I need?

Our Freiburg Self-Guided Audio Tour is laied out as a 90 minute walking tour. Depending on how much time you spend at each stop the tour can be shorter – or longer.  For example, if you are planning on hiking up Schlossberg mountain add-on another hour. If you stop at one of the beergardens or cafes add-on additional time. You are free to skip the stops you are not interested in. And spend as much time as you’d like at the sights you like. Have a coffee in between stops. Or even lunch – it is really up to you when you want this tour to end. The minimum time needed is 90 minutes. The maximum time can be a day. Or even two.

Two Altstadt Tours

My wife and I booked two walking tours of Freiburg with Black Forest Tours since we had such a marvelous experience back in 2019 touring the Black Forest. Each tour was easy to book with the most difficult part being which of the many enticing tours to book. Simone was prompt and detailed with her responses to our emails making the process smooth as silk.

Both of our guides (Barbel for the first - a walking tour of the old town and cathedral -and Doro for the second - a food tour of the market plus other shops) were knowledgeable and engaging and made the four hours of touring the old town zip by. Each had to sidestep potential issues when a funeral at the cathedral interfered with our Monday tour and the rainy weather made finding a dry spot to have the lunch we picked out challenging.

We certainly learned a great deal on both tours. The market unit measures etched into the cathedral foundation, the stdone mason's wage protest gargoyle, the lange rote cart histories, etc. all really aded to our regular enjoyment of the Altstadt of Freiburg - a place we both really like. Whether our travels ever bring us back to Freiburg is another story but we ever do we will be sure to contact Black Forest Tours.

Excellent experience with Bärbel, our guide, who went from deep historical notes to current items. She met us in a timely manner, and was very personable and pleased to share her experiences and knowledge with us.

We visited Freiburg for a half-day and took a private tour with Black Forest Tours. Our guide, Iris, was fantastic. We learned so much about the history of Freiburg. Iris showed us some of the main sites and areas of Freiburg, but also the hidden gems. Iris was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. After our tour, we felt we could really appreciate the unique charm of Freiburg and its people. Thank you!

Annemarie was a super guide. She showed us around Freiburg, pitching it just right (our group included 4 children aged 10, 11, 13 and 14). A really enjoyable way to experience Freiburg.
