Our day with Manfred was perfect! Prior to the trip, he helped my husband and I plan an outing that included highlights of the Black Forest and the Christmas Market at Baden Baden. Manfred even included links to videos and other info that would help us enjoy our time in Heidelberg prior to and after our time with him. When the day for our tour arrived, he picked us up in Heidelberg in his comfortable and spotless car and drove us to Lake Mummelsee. The visibility was not right for the hike we had planned, but Manfred quickly pivoted to take us on a gentle hike around Lake Mummelsee which was so picturesque with the snow & ice on the trees. We enjoyed some hot cocoa after the hike and then Manfred took us to a shop so that we could purchase a cuckoo clock at a discounted price. We had lunch at an an amazing restaurant where we sampled Black Forest specialties (including black forest cake)! The Christmas Market at Baden-Baden was amazing and it was nice to be able to enjoy gluhwein knowing that Manfred would get us back safely to Heidelberg!
