It was a very nice trip as usual Viator trips, I liked that the group were in a small Van, which make it some sort of VIP trip, our tour guide Micheal was knowledgeable and very friendly. We enjoyed the amazing views. I certainly recommend this trip as must try while you are visiting Frankfurt.
Enjoyable

Michael was a fantastic guide, providing a wealth of information and historical background about the region during the drive and at the castle. The castle was beautiful and Michael went out of his way to show us the best views and spots to take photos. This was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone traveling in Frankfurt.
Great Heidelberg Castle Tour!

Michael was a great host. It was our 2nd day in Frankfurt and still a little jet lagged from our flight from NYC but he made it so engaging that we were fully alert on the way there. He shared his knowledge about history and how it all ties back to Heidelberg's castle and the ruling monarchy at the time. We had comfortable and clean transportation both ways and Michael kept us on track and on time the whole time. This trip was worth taking but remember to ask for Michael!
