We showed up… the guide did not. A call would have been nice. We waited where we were told. I messaged Viator and guide. Please refund.

Grete führte und unterhielt unsere Gruppe vorzüglich! Sie erzählte uns interessante Geschichten, auch solche zum Schmunzeln, und nun wissen wir alle, woher das „weiss der Henker“ oder „stinkreich“ kommt!

Wir hatten viel Spass mit Nachtwächterin Marie. Viel interessantes über Heidelberg, seine Geschichten, Sagen und Studierende erfahren. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Simone_H

Abwechslungsreiche und spannende Erzählung. Sehr informativ, lustig und witzig zugleich. Die Gäßchen waren gut ausgewählt, nicht zu weitläufig.

Laura_B

Hat uns sehr gefallen. Viele Details über Stadt, Berufe und das Leben früher. Unterschiedliche Stationen der Stadt angeschaut.

Silvia_P

Die Nachtwächterin hat uns das Leben eines Nachtwächters im Mittelalter auf lustige Art und Weise erklärt.

Carmen_U

"Konrad" hat sich wirklich viel Mühe gegeben und man hat einen guten Eindruck vom mittelalterlichen Heidelberg und seiner Geschichte bekommen. Man sollte den Rundgang durch die Gassen wirklich machen!

Ariana_M

Johann hat das 18. Jahrhundert für die Kinder (und natürlich auch für die Erwachsenen) lebendig gemacht. Wir haben sehr viel über die Geschichte Heidelbergs erfahren - es war informativ und kurzweilig. Hätten noch viel länger seinen Erzählungen lauschen können...

Tobias_F

Unterhaltsam und informativ. Johann hat uns einen schönen Abend beschert. Wir waren 20 Leute, bunt zusammengewürfelt.

Sebastian_P

Sehr interessante Stadtführung. Informativ und unterhaltsam rübergebracht. Viel Neues gelernt über Sprichwörter, Redensarten und warum Brezenabdrücke an der Kirchenmauer sind. Vielen Dank an "Konrad" für diesen wundervollen Abend.
