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!
Excellent experience

5.00Shuni was very informative about Heidelberg. We toured all over the old town including the university. We were there for the whole day into the evening, so our tour helped us navigate what to do for the rest of the day. She was very respectful of our time and us. Definitely recommend her if you want to learn more about the history of a beautiful town in Germany!
Wonderful Trip! Great guide Shuni
