We had an outstanding day with Manfred. Our tour far exceeded our expectations. Manfred is highly knowledgeable and we were able to see and learn so much. We didn’t feel rushed, we got to see and try things we didn’t expect based on his recommendations, which truly heightened our experience. Besides the Heidelberg castle and historic Old City, the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens is a must visit! Add it to your list. Weinheim is another small, stunning city we got to visit. If you have time, even for a coffee, it’s worth the trip! I highly recommend you book an experience with Manfred for your next trip. He even made sure we had a great time before/after our tour with recommendations. Just like the name says, it truly felt like a day with a friend in Heidelberg.

We just returned from 13 days in Europe and our day with Mannfred in Heidelberg was our absolute favorite! He was waiting for us at our agreed upon location, and Mannfred couldn’t have been more entertaining, informative, and flexible. At the end of our day, we said goodbye to our friend, and thanked him for the most unforgettable day! Our little group just loved Mannfred!

Manfred was very personible. The accodations were great. We took a little getting start because he does not have defined tour. He will take you to what you would like to see. We ended up going to Schwetzingen Palace and Gardens and then a nice tour of the town on the way back. We did not tour the palace, but did explore the gardens and property. This was one of my wife's and her sister's favorite stop on our 3 week trip. I would highly recommend tour the gardens

We recently had an 8-10-hour layover in Frankfurt and decided to make the most of our time by visiting Heidelberg. Thanks to our exceptional tour guide, Manfred! the entire experience was smooth, enjoyable, and worry-free. From the moment we stepped off the plane, Manfred was there to pick us up with a warm smile and a clear plan for the day. The pick-up from the airport was punctual, and the vehicle was comfortable, clean, and spacious, making for a relaxing drive to Heidelberg. Once we arrived, Manfred showcased a deep knowledge of Heidelberg’s history, culture, and hidden gems. They tailored the tour to our interests, ensuring we saw all the major sights like Heidelberg Castle, and the Old Town, and even had time for a leisurely walk along the Philosophers’ Walk. What stood out was Manfred's ability to share fascinating stories and historical facts that brought the city to life, all while keeping an eye on the clock to ensure we stayed on schedule. Throughout the tour, Manfred was incredibly attentive, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He even took care of the small details, like recommending the best spots for photos, arranging a quick but delicious lunch, and ensuring we had enough time to explore without feeling rushed. The drop-off back at Frankfurt Airport was equally seamless. Manfred made sure we arrived with plenty of time to catch our next flight, allowing us to relax and reflect on what had been a truly wonderful experience. Manfred ( A friend in Heidelberg) made our layover in Frankfurt an absolute pleasure. If you're considering a layover tour of Heidelberg, we highly recommend Manfred for an unforgettable and hassle-free experience.
