Interesting tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide - Our guide provided a structured but also flexible tour of several neighborhoods in Heidelberg. It was a great time, and we covered a lot of ground! While there was a structured tour plan, there was also flexibility built in to address the specific interests of our group. I absolutely recommend Bike Romance Heidelberg for a fun and interesting tour of Heidelberg!

Interesting and informative bike tour - Felix is a great guide! He told us interesting facts about modern and old Heidelberg. He made sure the group was safe and nobody was left behind. He was friendly and open to answering our questions and providing recommendations for places to eat / go in the city. The tour was on a hot day and he made sure to check in with us. There were some inclines but definitely manageable even for infrequent bike riders and about the same amount of fun downhills coasting with beautiful views! Definitely recommend booking with him.

Best tour ever - Completed the tour with Felix this morning. I was hesitant, because it has been 30+ years since I rode a bike and my endurance isn’t the best-
Felix was terrific and the pace was great.
I got to see parts of Heidelberg I would never have known about or seen otherwise, as well as part of the old town.
Felix is very knowledgeable and thoroughly enjoyable. Very professional from start to finish.
Thank you Felix!

Morning tour of Heidelberg - Excellent tour. Felix was both friendly and knowledgeable. Bikes were virtually new, and we went to all the most interesting parts of Heidelberg. Highlight of my trip to the town so far. Don’t miss out ~ sign up for a tour. (Met some really nice people too).

A Fantastic Introduction to Heidelberg! - This biking tour was the perfect way to get an overview of Heidelberg. We started on the modern side of the city, where a U.S. Army base was located for 50 years, and ended in the beautiful Old Town where most of the tourists hang out. It was a great mix of history and sightseeing. The pace was super comfortable, and we had a few water breaks along the way.
Biking through the city gave me a real sense of its layout, character, and beauty. I really enjoyed this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Heidelberg for the first time!

Great commitment - unforgettable tour - We met as a family with 3 generations aged 25-88. Felix has gone out of his way to integrate a rickshaw into his bike ride so that the grandparents can be there. It was great!
Very interesting were Felix's stories about the new developments in Heidelberg with very nice tours also the new development areas of the city.
Great tour and an absolute highlight for our family. Grandma & grandpa were very happy that they could participate.
Thank you!!

Exceeded all expectations! - We did this tour on a sunny afternoon and I didn't know HOW much fun it was going to be. Discovering all the districts on a bike has so much charme. You're much faster going around and our guide was super knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions, tailored the tour to our interests in the moment and had a great balance between facts and anecdotes that made the time pass super fast. We did the tour in English and his English was impeccable! Thanks so much again!
