5.00Great tour with Mike. Very knowledgeable and personable. He was also flexible to customize the tour. I highly recommend this tour.
A great experience to get away from Frankfurt for a day!

4.00It’s a very full day of touring but very worthwhile. Heidelberg is a beautiful city not to be missed. Most of the time is spent at the palace. The lunch place we went to was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend. Unfortunately, no free time to wander around the town on our own, which would’ve been nice. But considering we also go to another palace and the Mercedes Museum. It would not have been feasible. Our guide Mike was very well informed. His knowledge on the history past and present was invaluable. Although his views on women based on his comments and jokes, seem to be a little misogynistic. Nothing that would make me not take another tour with him but enough that by the end my husband and I were getting mildly annoyed. Overall, I would recommend this as a great day to get away from Frankfurt
Best Schnitzel in town

5.00What an awesome experience we had with Mike M. The castle was awesome, the Mercedes museum was interesting but lunch was the best Schnitzel in Germany! They also had the best Heffevizen as well.
One of the highlights of our trip!

5.00We had the best time on our tour with Maik! He was very knowledgeable about the sights, and he provided interesting information throughout the tour. It was so nice not having to worry about travel or prearranging tours/tickets. He had everything ready to go and made the experience seamless. We really enjoyed his lunch recommendation. He was very accommodating in picking us up from our hotel and making sure we were taken care of. We loved our tour and highly recommend it!
Highly recommend for a visit.

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, informative tour!

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.
