Not as great as described!

I was very disappointed with this trip. The visit to see how cuckoo clocks were made was simply a 5 minute hold up and point to an example of clocks demonstration . A very brief ( we laser cut and attach the parts onto a shell) description was given, then we were told to shop. Thank goodness an extremely high priced ($28. for cake slice and a coke) location was pointed to enjoy while waiting for the time to pass. Rhine falls was also underwhelming, but that was due to lack of water.

Raymond was very thorough and kept us fully engaged. The tour was excellent. Black Forest duration could've been further increased, it was most relaxing.

Europes largest waterfall Rhine River

We only drove past the Black Forest area no stopping or hiking in it not sure what I expected but kind of false advertising? First stop a tourist area for cucumber clocks o was bored though lake Titisee was nice 30 minutes there would have been fine The Rhine River waterfall in Schaffhausen was very nice beautiful and scenery along way was nice ! Our guide Beatrice very informative and helpful
