Great tour of Heidelberg and the Schloss!! - Anne was an amazing tour guide!! She is extremely knowledgeable about everything Heidelberg. She was extremely pleasant and we had a excellent time with her learning about the castle, old town, and everything in between. I would take this tour again in a heartbeat and would definitely ask for Anne to be my tour guide. Thank you Anne and Viator!

Exceptional Tour of a Beautiful City - Our group of 8 had an amazing private tour of Heidelberg with our guide Ekki. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the information he shared far exceeded our expectations. This tour was a highlight of our two week trip to Germany.

Non-stop storytelling - Ekke was great - his knowledge of historical and political history was extensive. He did a wonderful job of giving context for places and people. Ekke’s language skills are also great - German, English and French. He’s kind and caring.

Interesting historical tour - Interesting and informative tour highlighting the contributions of key historical figures to Heidelberg's evolution. The inside of the castle is a must to fully appreciate past grandeur and historical context.

Not worth it - Paid $322 for a two hour walking tour that included a visit to the castle. The tour only lasted a little over an hour and we had to pay an additional $18 euro to visit the cancel once there. Definitely not worth the money
