From Frankfurt: Heidelberg & Rothenburg Daytour
Great trip!
We had a fantastic small-group day tour from Frankfurt to Heidelberg and Rothenburg! The intimate group size made the experience relaxed and personal, and our guide shared lots of interesting cultural insights along the way. Both cities offered stunning views, rich history, and plenty of charm. A perfect day trip I highly recommend! Our guide was full of history and knowledge, he was very friendly and helpful.

With the executioner's wife through Heidelberg's alleys
Fantastic guided tour with the executioner's wife
We had a fantastic guided tour with the executioner's wife in Heidelberg's old town yesterday. Grete was just great and took the whole group with him. Content-wise, a successful mix of historical information about the city and exciting stories of the executioner's wife. Sometimes a bit “unappetizing”, but for our children (10 and 12 years) it was just right, and historically sound at all times. Although we are from Heidelberg and already knew a lot about the city, we still learned a lot of new things and had a wonderful time for 90 minutes. Conclusion: We have never had such an interesting and entertaining city tour! Thanks to the executioner's wife!
