5.00Heidelberg Castle and Palace was excellent and a must visit when in Germany. This was a personalized trip and Mike our driver cum guide promptly picked us at our Hotel, and drove us to Heidelberg. Along the way he gave us a lot of info on the place. Tx to Mike's reco, we enjoyed the German food and the icecream thereafter. Book the funicular train on line to avoid long wait times. We also visited the Benz musuem in Mannheim. This was the factory where it all started, later moved to Stuttgart. Good information for car enthusiasts
One of the best tours ever

5.00Maik was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had!! He was on time to pick me up - explained our day before we started our journey and was super knowledgeable and personable He shared a wealth of knowledge about each location, site, town, city and the country. I felt very safe with his driving, well fed from his food recommendations, and would rate this experience once of the best
Top notch experience!

5.00This private tour might have been the highlight of our two week trip to Europe. Michael made sure that we saw everything that was of interest to us. He was able to give us so much history as we drove. We loved having lunch with Michael in a German restaurant. They know him there because he frequents the restaurant with guests. Michael went above and beyond to enter our experience was amazing!!!
Great Experience

5.00We 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

5.00It 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.
