Informative tour of Heidelberg and the Castle. Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable about all the dates and places. Would recommend the Private Tour, you get to ask questions that are of interest to you. Heidelberg is a beautiful town well worth exploring

Daniela was a fabulous tour guide. She showed us all around the beautiful city that she is so proud to call home. From the streets of the university, the funicular ride to the castle, the views, the church visits and walk to the bridge, all were fabulous. She provided special dinning and shopping ideas and took time to get to know our family.

Ralph took us on an excellent tour of the castle and the surrounding old town, ensuring we learned the rather incredible history of each. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and sensitive to the needs of our group of 4 adults, on a rather cold day. There was a story around every corner, and his tour brought Heidelberg to life for us.

Monika was a very knowledgeable and pleasant guide. The tour focused on churches and religions more than we were expecting
Peter_B, Sep 2024
Our tour guide had a wonderful and thorough knowledge base of so much of the historic details. Highly recommend! It's easy to just walk around and look at stuff, but the experience is so much fuller with all the context and history behind it.
