Humorous, exciting, and informative! - The tour with our "private night watchman Konrad" was a lot of fun and educational at the same time. We had booked a tour for our circle of friends (12 people). Because of the small group, it was even more personal. Thanks again, "Konrad"!

With humor and information, transported back to those times. - We had Grete as our guide (a nickname). She was truly witty and was able to convey the many pieces of information in a well-structured manner. I would do this night watchman tour again if I visit Heidelberg again in the coming years. Totally entertaining!!

Heidelberg in the "cooler" evening twilight. - Nice, humorous "night watchman." He told beautiful anecdotes and also provided good dining tips.
