Excellent tour of Heidelberg with a guide who was fascinating. He was knowledgeable and spoke specifically about questions I had about the History of Germany.

I jokingly told Henry that he is the greatest tour guide in Old Town, Heidelberg! In reality, he is one of the best tour guides that I have encountered because of his knowledge and also his sense of humor. He made the tour interactive by asking questions and connecting us to what was familiar to us (Jose Rizal! Flowers of Heidelberg!), that the tour was rich not only because of the beautiful sites but also because of the narratives he told. Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours with Henry and would recommend his tour!

Seeing the spot where Martin Luther stood was for me the highlight of this tour. The guide, Henry was knowledgeable and cool.

Neils was a friendly and highly informative guide and curtailed the tour according to our area of interest - historic/political/social etc. We would definitely recommend him and this tour of the old city.

We enjoyed our walking tour with Henry around the historic old town. He was a great storyteller and engaged well with our 7-year old daughter, patiently answering all her questions.

Ekki is a great and unique guide, and could deliver more than we expected! Heidelberg is full of history, not just a historical place to visit.

Historical connections were explained excellently, using deeply rooted knowledge. Very kind and accurate tour guide for people who are the first time in Heidelberg. Recommending very fine restaurants in the city, we tried at least one und were overwhelmed by the cuisine. 5 points of 5!!! Thanks to Ekki!!!

Dr Daniel Vuynovich was our guide. He is an American/German resident. His tour mixed current local and historical fact. He pointed out things you would miss if you were wandering around yourself. Very personable guy and guide. Booked him through Get your guide.
