5.00The weather was not the best. But our guide Shuni lifted our mood! She was patient and respectful. Certainly have a lot to share, especially with Heidelberg's history. It's a wonderful experience to walk through the town in it's typical weather and hundreds years of history.

5.00We had a fantastic time on our visit to Heidelberg. It was our first time visiting the city, and attending this tour was an excellent idea, as we not only saw the main sights of the old town but also some off-the-beaten-path locations that we definitely wouldn't have seen or learned about otherwise. Heidelberg is a university town, and it was great that our guide was a student there. Highly recommended!
Great day trip to do from Barcelona

5.00We traveled to Heidelberg to see its imposing castle, but we couldn't leave the city without learning about its history. Heidelberg, though small, is a very charming city. It has a river, mountains, a castle, and thousands of students, as it's home to a university, which, incidentally, is the oldest in Germany. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Heidelberg for the first time.
Fantastic Tour

5.00We had a great morning with our guide Rythyma! We were running a bit late, but we contacted her and she waited for us. The other members of our tour didn't show up, so she was our personal guide! She is a University student, and was knowledgeable and very informative and friendly! We were very satisfied and would highly recommend this tour!

5.00I enjoyed so much!! I knew nothing about Heidelberg even though I lived here for a while. This time I actually learned the stories and builded connection with the city. I also read the trace of middle age people on the walls, this experience gave me the feeling of the weight of time and history! My guide Shuni is so good at engaging me with emotion! I enjoyed the experience!
