Super informative and fun tour! - Highly recommend Viktor's tour of Heidelberg! Communication beforehand was really helpful. We walked all over Heidelberg with Viktor, who is a student in the city, so he had really good tips for places to eat/drink, and interesting stories about the history of the city. This was genuinely such a fun experience despite it being rainy and cold.

Great day trip to Heidelberg! - We were only in Heidelberg for a day since we're staying in Frankfurt, and this walking tour with Viktor was a fantastic way to explore the city! Viktor was an amazing guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about Heidelberg’s rich history. We especially enjoyed wandering through the charming Old Town and learning about its important landmarks. Even though our time was short, we left feeling like we had a real connection to the city, thanks to Viktor’s insights and enthusiasm. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to make the most of a short visit!

Awesome tour with Viktor! - We’re staying in Frankfurt but decided to take a day trip to Heidelberg, and this walking tour with Viktor was awesome! As two friends exploring the city for the first time, we loved how laid-back and fun the tour was. Viktor made the history super interesting and kept the vibe really engaging, showing us all the cool spots in the Old Town. We got some great recommendations for places to grab food and drinks too. If you're looking to get the most out of a quick visit, this tour is definitely the way to go!

Nice tour - Our tour was rescheduled a little earlier than we had planned, but we made it and had a nice time. Our guide had only lived in Germany a couple of years so her knowledge was more about the university than the history of heidelberg, but was still very interesting. She was very nice.

No one there without info before - It did not take place-and it did not take place promptly and also later no notification of it. There was no one on site - but I also received the money back immediately.

The guide did not arrive, was not even aware of the booking - The tour guide had no idea that he was booked on a trip and so didn't show up. He blamed his manager and Viator, probably correct. The tour guide then spoke to me on the phone and sent me a few tips. Viator refunded me, but that's not the point - I still had no tour.
