Black Forest, Rhine Falls - Wow - We had a new tour guide, Jasmine. She was enthusiastic, took the time in the bus to give us history of the area. The Coo coo clocks were fun, the food at the lake was great and the Rhine Falls were spectacular.

Nice Experience - Pleasant experience. The narration was to the point. The driving was a bit rough and coupled with the winding roads it made some of my family a bit nauseous. The drive was a bit long and the customs at the border was closed to get a refund back on VAT. Be prepared to not get that money back when purchasing Kucku clocks which is pretty expensive.

Cuckoo Clock Tradition - Beautiful drive through the forest. Wish the cuckoo clock demonstration had been a little longer and we had seen the actual artisans at work. The Rhine Falls were very well done and very exciting.

Great trip to Titisee Germany, and Rhine Falls - Titisee is a nice little resort town in Germany, cure and touristy. Stay away from the Cafe und Brauhaus Zur Muhle, the first big restaurant on the right heading into town. The rudest anti-tourist reception a person could get. There was no one to greet us for a table, so I found a waitress to ask if I should’ve sit to be seated, she heard us speaking English, made a face, said something rude, and went to the kitchen to hide. Oddly enough, my husband speaks German. Go down the road to the Bistro Zum See. Wonderful welcoming people and food. When you go to the Rhine Falls, take the boat. Trust me, it’s fun.

All in all we had a fine... - All in all we had a fine time. We would have loved more time in the Black Forest to hike around. We also thought the clock shop was more of seeing how they are made, like a factory. IMstead it felt like a really long drive to a clock shop that just wants you to buy a clock. While, they don't pressure you and they do give a great explanation on how the clocks are made, we were hoping for more. The boat ride at the falls was great. We are glad we did it, just wished for more.

Excursion to the Black Forest and Running Falls. - Very bad experience. Contract the tour in Castellano and without notice or explanation they said it in English.

What you hire is not real - That if they hire a guide in Spanish, such a guide in Spanish does not exist, so you do not hear about the explanations. A hoax
