First time in Heidelberg - Gunter was fabulous, very friendly and knowledgeable. Gave us a detailed tour of Heidelberg, the castle and the night life on main street.

A wonderful last minute visit to one of Germany’s most iconic cities - I booked this as a last minute trip after a conference in Frankfurt because I wanted to get out of the city and see the “REAL” Germany before heading home. This did not disappoint! A quick 1-hour drive on the Autobahn both ways with the driver and I got to see the beautiful Heidelberg Castle and the world’s largest wine barrel, as well as the bustling city center below. Our tour guide was actually sick the day of and couldn’t make it, but our driver Stefan stepped in and still provided a wonderful impromptu tour - taking photos, giving history lessons, and even telling a few jokes in between. Really enjoyed this one, and the 5 hour excursion time was easy to work into my last day’s schedule. The evening time slot also allowed for plenty of daylight to catch the views of the city from the castle balcony. Highly recommend!

Heidelberg - We explored the castle and the city. It was allot of fun! I was able to take some pictures. Also, we had a radio telling history about the castle.

Castle - We had a great day. During the drive down we learned a little about the history, had a wonderful tour of the castle and then some free time to shop. The tour guide was friendly

Fantastic time! - It was an absolutely amazing experience. The bus was comfortable, clean, and most importantly, made me feel safe as a solo traveler. The guide had impressive knowledge of not just the subject of where we were going, but also about areas along the way.

The castle was very... - The castle was very interesting, loved the town and drive. Unfortunately our tour guide was not available, so the driver did try to fill in. He was personable and supplied us with audio boxes with the entrance to the castle.

Good visit to Heidelberg - Well organized transportation. Guide Michael was extremely knowledgeable but was often difficult to hear. I Observed that other guides at Heidelberg castle either had a technology solution or gathered their groups better. Good balance of guided and unguided portions.

Disappointed visitor - The guide didn't show up, so he had his driver do the tour guide. He didn't know the history of the places we visited and didn't give clear info. about where to go, either.
