Historic Heidelberg Walking Tour

5.00My family had a wonderful tour of the old town and castle in Heidelberg. Our tour guide Henry was incredibly knowledgeable and kind enough to answer all of our questions from history to beer halls. He also interacted with our 4 children (ages 20, 19, 16, & 13) in areas ranging from their interests to helping them with speaking German. I believe most families would find this adventure enjoyable and Henry quite delightful.

Fantastic Walking Tour of Heidelberg

5.00Henry was extremely knowledgeable about history of Heidelberg. We had family from 4 years to 69 years old, and paced the tour so everyone could easily enjoy the views and understand the importance of Heidelberg Castle. He made reservations for lunch at his favorite restaurant. The courtyard was lovely and food delicious! He included every person by asking questions and helping us relate to the German culture.
Enjoyable afternoons learning about Heidelberg and Speyer

5.00We did (2) tours with Henry -- an afternoon tour of Speyer and then a private tour of Heidelberg including the castle. Both experiences were great - we learned a lot about the overall history of the area, and each town. Visiting Speyer Cathedral was enjoyable, and then walking the main street and discussing the town and area and how the single remaining tower was saved was very interesting. Walking Heidelberg was a lot of fun, taking the cog rail to the castle and then learning about the different royalty and how the castle grew and changed over time, seeing the worlds largest wine barrel, and enjoying the magnificent view from the parapets. Would recommend as an enjoyable educational experience.
Wonderful Tour of Heidelberg Castle and Environs

5.00Henry was very knowledgeable and he gave a great tour of Heidelberg. He tailored his tour to suit our interests, and gave us different tour options. One couple, not in our group, who overheard him talking to us, asked him a very specific questions—and he took a moment to help them, too. We couldn’t have been happier with our tour and tour guide! We whole-heartedly recommend Henry.
Beautiful Day Trip

5.00If you are looking for a day trip to a quieter, less busy destination then I would definitely recommend Speyer. Our trip was fairly short notice and we lucked out finding Henry as our guide. He planned a relaxing tour of the city and lunch at a very good restaurant in the city center. He was knowledgeable about the city’s history and we toured a few nice spots. I would definitely recommend a trip with him!
Wonderful Day Trip!

5.00My husband loves history and requested a private tour of Heidelberg (our new home) for his birthday. Henry was knowledgeable, kind, and happy to answer any questions. He took us to all the hot spots and helped me execute a memorable and customized gift. We ended at a local brewery for beer and lunch- overall tour exceeded my expectations.
