Mike was very good and organized. We loved the town of Heidelberg! Good balance of driving and walking. Lunch was best we had while visiting Germany.

Tour guide Michael Maus made it all possible starting with pickup at the airport, fabulous tour and drop off at my hotel. Michael (Maik) was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the local customs and culture. He had good answers and perspective on my many history and political questions to give me a better understanding of the area. He has lived many years in the area and his personal experiences made sightseeing authentic! Thanks Maik!

Mike was an excellent tour guide & driver. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Heidelberg Palace, Christmas Market & an authentic German lunch in a very charming restaurant. Since Mercedes Museum was closed on Thursdays, he took us to the Mannheim Christmas market which was, as he promised, so much better than Heidelberg. We learned so much from him & appreciated all his knowledge. It was a long day but a perfect tour. Mike is a nice, personable guy!

Maik, our guide was wonderful and this was such a fantastic tour to start our trip to Germany with! Maik was so knowledgeable about Heidelberg but also all places in Germany. We learned so much and he had an answer for every one of our questions. The Heidelberg castle/palace is such a great story and the guide for that portion of the tour did a great job and was quite funny. The small tram ride up was so special and lunch was great! The small town of Heidelberg is so enchanting and since the Mercedes Museum was closed we got to see another small town and enjoy a sweet treat. Overall great experience and would recommend the tour and Maik to anyone!
