Great Tour of Heidelberg Castle! - Great tour with Gunter as our guide. He shared all of the history of the Heidelberg Castle and was very pleasant the entire day. Everyone should see this place if you are in the area for sure!

A must do tour especially... - A must do tour especially if you like earlier German history. Also, Frankfurt is nice, but there’s so much German influence that comes from the surrounding region (as explained by our awesome tour guide)

Perfection! - Our Tour Guide Michael was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful, and really made the Tour one to remember for a lifetime! At one point, I lost my phone in Heidelberg Castle and he jumped in and saved not just the tour but my entire European vacation by finding it, and the tour continued perfectly on time. I am a major history buff, and found his references and deep knowledge to be what set this Tour apart from the rest. Mikhael is a master!

I loved hearing about the... - I loved hearing about the history of the region and the castle, but was pretty disappointed that the city tour portion was just being dropped in the town square and told “okay meet back here in an hour.” Heidelberg is SUCH a beautiful city and I wish I had been shown some of the best spots. If the castle is the only “tour” portion, it shouldn’t be called a city tour since we weren’t given a tour of the city itself.
