Michael gives a 5 star experience - Michael was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history and meaning of each detail at the castle. I ended up extending the tour to also include Rothenburg, which was a long drive (2hr each way) definitely worth it to see a well preserved historical town that was not decimated in world war 2. To do Rothenberg you do give up seeing the sites in the city of Heidelberg city (15 min vs 1.5 hr), but Rothenberg was much more lively and vibrant (we had 2 hr to explore). The van was comfortable for the long journey and very clean. A 5-star experience with Michael!

Un "must do" desde Frankfurt - Excellent tour, highly recommended. The very prepared guide, made the trip very pleasant. The only thing, very little time in the city, either you know or you will eat. I would give about 2 hours more to the tour, or cut the time to visit the castle and give more free time in the center.

Excellent tour! - Michael and Stefan worked as a team. Each took 7 passengers on two vans. Michael is an energetic tour guide, who provides lots of historical and general information. The scenery and narrative were excellent!

Great experience - Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and friendly. More time at the castle and village would be required to fully appreciate the area. Definitely recommend.

Loved this tour - Great tour and history lesson on the Castle. The town was quaint with cobblestone streets and the bridge over the river offered amazing views of the castle.

Highly recommend the amazing tour to Heidelberg Castle and the city - you will not be disappointed! - Despite the gray day, Michael provided a master class of historical and cultural information as we made our way from downtown Frankfurt to Heidelberg for a visit to the castle and the beautiful city below. After a super-comfortable ride, we arrived to spectacular views in every direction: from within the castle grounds, to the sights from above the city, to the lovely streets and alleyways of old Heidelberg itself. It was a beautiful day!

Partial Heidelberg Castle tour - Was disappointed with the tour. You can only see the exterior of the castle and the apothecary rooms. The tour guide I assume is not allowed to take the group inside.
