Stable chill paddle. A bit difficult to find meetup as we could not see it from the direction we drove in but good communication on phone to get us back on track. Comfortable stable kayaks.

We had the pleasure of paddling along the beautiful Neckar river for 2 hours. It was raining a little bit, but the rain only made the tour more memorable. It was so calming and a fantastic experience. Ludger is a very helpful guide and nice guy. Highly recommended!

Ludger and Christine were wonderful at communicating with us prior to the trip. I took my 14 year old daughter and we just had the best time! Ludger did a fantastic job of mixing German (for the Germans and Argentinians) with English (for us Americans) throughout the instructions and along the trip as he told many interesting stories about the buildings and spaces we saw from the river.
We even had a chance to swim in the river!
This was a great trip for anyone who enjoys kayaking, seeing a town from a different location, or taking a fun adventure!

Our tour Guide Ludger was super nice and helpful! It was our first time going and he showed us techniques to use. The views were amazing!

Very friendly, accommodating when we arrived 10 minutes late. Pitched the tour for our group. Such a friendly team. Taught my teens some kayaking techniques too and didn’t mind them splashing each other

Ludger was an absolutely wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable in the area, very patient and friendly. My wife was very scared of the water to start with, but Ludger took the time to patiently explain and reassure her and we ended up having a great time. Definitely worth the visit and will be back for more.

An excellent couple of hours out on the river! My husband and I had such a great time with Ludger and really enjoyed the stories he told us of the city and its history. We would recommend this trip for anyone: beginners, experienced kayakers, families, solo travelers, etc.! We felt very safe at all times and were so glad to experience Heidelberg in a way that most tourists don't get to. We will definitely be back to do this again! (In the summer, scheduling for the morning is better as it gets deceivingly hot in the afternoons!) Thank you again, Ludger!

Sehr schöne Tour, gut voran informiert und sehr angenehm geführt, Infos zur Paddeltechnik und Sehenswürdigkeiten genau im richtigen Maß; sehr gute stabile Kajaks mit gutem Fahrverhalten. Und dann auch noch einen Bilderbuchtage erwischt. Perfekt!

We had booked the kayak tour for a company outing with 20 people. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by Ludger, the tour guide. He then led us to the boats on the Neckar. After a short instruction, we were off. Even for those who were inexperienced, there were no problems and it was great fun. Ludger's support was great and uncomplicated.
We would book the tour again at any time and can recommend it without reservations!
