Informative and Beautiful! - The views were absolutely breathtaking, and some of the best photos from our entire trip through Germany, France, and Switzerland came from this tour! We really enjoyed spending time with Daniela and learning more about her beautiful country. Although the rain put a slight damper on the day, Daniela went above and beyond to make the most of it. We ended the tour sharing a bottle of wine overlooking the castle—such a memorable and fun experience!

The tour of the old town... - The tour of the old town and castle was wonderful! Sylvia was a kind and informative tour guide who went out of her way to engage with our kids and make the history of the city and castle appealing to them, telling stories that interested even our 6 year old. A great time. Highly recommended!

Ralph brought Heidelberg to life for us - 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.

Must see! - As with most all castles, a must see and visit adventure. Put your walking shoes on, you'll need them! Lots of cobblestones and the the castle itself will take your breath away. You'll also see the world's "largest wine barrel"... go with a guide to get all the stories behind the history...ie; the windows, etc.
