Great Experience - We had an amazing trip to Heidelberg with Michael. The conversation throughout the trip was wonderful. He shared his incredible knowledge of the area history with us. He has also had vast travel experience throughout the world that gave us the opportunity to discuss many topics and relate many items back to medieval Germany. He also gave us great food and wine recommendations! We highly recommend booking a trip with Michael.

Great time visiting Heidelberg - It was a great day with beautiful weather. A little on the warm side if you stood in the sun too long but with an occasional breeze to help cool off. The drive to/from was comfortable in a nice vehicle. Our tour guide Mike was very informative and efficient with getting us to where we needed to be at each leg of the trip. He is easy to chat with. Lots of walking. You will enjoy this trip.

Tour Germany with a World Guide - This was my first time to Germany. I was very interested in seeing some towns, learning background and history. I’m glad that I found Maik! I initially booked a tour of Heidelberg. I worked with him in advance as I had an extra day in Germany. I wanted advice on where to visit and he recommended Rothenburg. I’m glad that I took his advice and booked that tour too. I enjoyed both tours very much! I have traveled a lot and toured many places around the world. I was looking for a local expert and found a world expert! He has been to more places around the world than anyone I have ever met! I learned so much about Germany during both tours and places around the world! I consider Maik more like a friendly companion than a tour guide. We had great discussions on both days that made the travel time to these towns move quickly. I highly recommend Maik if you are looking for someone with a wealth of knowledge, great discussions and memories!

Best of luck - If you’re really into history then this is good for you. I had two teenagers who were talking quietly in the back seat when our guide told them to shut up I’m talking. The first half of the day nobody was allowed to talk as he wanted to tell us his story. While actually a nice guy he insisted we remain silent the first half of the day. I am a very patient person however at his favorite restaurant I wanted to browse the menu and was actually told I needed to wait until he said I could look. I’m 67 and as well as the others we were treated like we were children. He got better after lunch. Myself it was a terrible experience
