Heidelberg Castle Tour and Christmas Markets

Our tour guide and driver Michael was extremely knowledgeable and provided an extensive history of Europe on the drive to Heidelberg. Once at Heidelberg Castle we had some free time for photos then a tour of the ruins, the apothecary museum which was fascinating and the giant wine barrel. After the Castle we were dropped off in the old town close to the Christmas markets. We found some delicious food at the market and then walked around the old town which is lovely. We went to a cafe with a great cake and biscuit shop for a cup of hot chocolate and apple strudel. All in all an excellent day out full of interesting information and architecture.
Worth the day out.

The tour was excellent! Michael gave us a detailed history lesson, which helped us understand so well what we are seeing. He was friendly and an excellent communicator. Also, an excellent driver. He was also kind enough to arrange for the fog lifting and even a bit of sunshine.
