    We decided to book the guided tour of the water features and we didn't regret it. First we went to the Hercules, from where you have a wonderful view of Kassel. Then we went from top to bottom to the individual stations of the water features. There were explanations of the historical background at each point. The guide did a really great job and it was never boring. She also led us along paths that were off the beaten track and showed us and explained things that we would never have seen/learned without a guide. With the ticket we were then able to go to Wilhelmshöhe Palace and we could use the bus (line 23) to get back to the car park at the Hercules visitor center. It is definitely worth seeing the water features, but you should be a good walker and wear sturdy shoes. If you go to Kassel, you shouldn't miss this event.

    We received a very entertaining and interesting guided tour of the city and the next day a very special tour of the water games in the mountain park. We were away with a group and can only mention our guide with praise. Mrs. Claudia Panetta-Möller has always informed us with great wit and charm. There can be no talk of a boring city/mountain park tour here. Thank you for these lovely and very informative hours. Time passed far too fast.
