5.00I would highly recommend the excellent tour to Heidelberg Castle! Our tour guide, Mike, picked us up in time and drove to the castle. During driving, he told us about German history starting from B.C. period. While in the castle, he showed us the best places to take pictures at, explained in details meaning of different buildings in the castle complex, shared interesting historical facts 🤩 Also, we had time to explore the city on our own.
Great Heidelberg experience

5.00Excellent historical narrative provided by our tour guide Andre made the 1.25 hour drive to Heidelberg go by in a blink! Andre was also a wealth of knowledge during the castle tour. We enjoyed the nearly 2 hours of free time in historic Heidelberg, browsing shops and taking photos. There were many dining options available in historic Heidelberg, so be sure to reserve at least 45 minutes to dine if you are hungry.
