John led an informative and friendly tour through Freiburb. The weather was sometimes challenging, but he took it in good stride and knew where we could seek cover to continue the tour and learning more about the city. Was well worth it to get a lot of details I would not have otherwise known.

“Normal ”
El guía no fue muy agradable conmigo ya que llegué tarde porque me confundí de hora. Pero es que luego al terminar me dijo que cancelara la reserva o le costaría a él 3€. Todo muy extraño. Porque la gente pagó 12€ por adelantado. Finalmente le di 10€ y me dejó tranquila pero no fue muy educado que digamos

“Very worthy tour”
Very complete tour with John, which has an interesting American background, about the history surrounding the iconic buildings of the city. Unfortunately, many of the participants felt they could take advantage of the concept "free tour" and be a little disrespectful towards the guide and even left bad tips at end despite the good quality of the experience
Sebastian Palacios (English)

“Nice way to get around the main sights”
Organisation was timely and helpful. The tour covered the main points with some fun facts along the way. Hit the spot for me, would have got lost without John and would have walked past several points of interest none the wiser. Would recommend

“Friendly Tour Guide, less cohesive tour ”
John was a polite and really friendly tour guide with great (native) English. I would gladly recommend him as a tour guide.
I wish the content of the tour was more cohesive, or told a unified story of Freiburg. I felt like this tour we were just seeing some sights, sharing some fun facts and recommendations for where to go after the tour.
John Fisher (English)
2024-01-06 11:35:54
“Interesting overview ”
Requesting to pay after tour does not suit the idea of a free walking tour.
But besides this it was a nice and interesting tour to get an idea of the history of Freiburg.

“Freiburg Free Walking Tour”
John is a fantastic guide for Freiburg. He has a subtle art of humor. I can definitely recommend the tour. You will get to know the central area of the old city, shopping places, confectionery etc. I wish that there was more storytelling involved in respect to the most important events that shaped the city. But all in all it is quite exciting for people visiting it for the first time and for native English speakers.

“Uncomfortable”
I don't usually leave reviews, but unfortunately the tour yesterday made me very uncomfortable. John seemed to know some basic information about Freiburg, but he clearly memorized a script. If someone asked a question he told us to wait until he was finished speaking. He was friendly enough to me, but was extremely rude to another guest - to the point that it also made me unconfortable.
Honestly extremely unprofessional.
