5.00Michael was a great guide who gave us a lot of history information about Germany on our drive to Heidelberg. He guided us around the castle and gave us plenty of free time to explore on our own.
Great tour and even greater guide

5.00I booked this tour last week for my partner and I while staying near Frankfurt and have to say that it was one of our favorite experiences. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about Heidelberg but German history altogether, which we absolutely loved. Both the town and the castle were breathtaking, as well as the views. If we had more time to stay in the area we would have gladly booked another tour with him as well. Highly recommend!

1.00Would have loved to have done this tour, but the night before, the tour company and Viator sent an email saying differing things: driver was sick (tour operator) tour didn’t have enough people (Viator). Sadly, because email doesn’t always download quickly when traveling internationally, we didn’t receive the emails that were sent around 8:30pm until late morning the next day. We ended up going to the meeting place and when no one showed up, we texted Viator. It was then that we were informed the tour was canceled, and our money would be refunded within 5-7 days. This was our last day in Frankfurt, so were weren’t able to take the tour on another day. What’s interesting is that in the past both tour operators and Viator have called me. I have provided my phone number in my profile, and it’s often how the tour operator and Viator have communicated with me. Why neither decided to call with such important information especially when cancelling less than 24 hours from the event is surprising.
Great experience and
