Wonderful insights and a lovely knowledgeable guide! - We really enjoyed our tour with Shuni. As a former student, she gave us a special look at Heidelberg University you can't get anywhere else. She answered all our questions and shared interesting stories that made the history come alive. A very authentic and fun experience!

Learned a lot about places in Heidelberg! - Shuni was a wonderful guide for our Heidelberg visit. Her knowledge of the city's long history is impressive, and she shared it in a friendly, easy-to-understand way. Walking with her through the old town, even in typical gray weather, was a highlight. We learned so much and had a REALLY great time!

Strongly recommended!! - I had an amazing experience on Shuni’s tour of Heidelberg University! The group was small and intimate, which allowed for a very personal experience where I felt comfortable asking plenty of questions. She was also very helpful and provided unique insights about Heidelberg University that only a former student could offer. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and fun perspective on the university and Heidelberg!!

Tour in Heidelberg - The weather was not the best. But our guide Shuni lifted our mood! She was patient and respectful. Certainly have a lot to share, especially with Heidelberg's history. It's a wonderful experience to walk through the town in it's typical weather and hundreds years of history.

My first time in Heidelberg! - We had a fantastic time on our visit to Heidelberg. It was our first time visiting the city, and attending this tour was an excellent idea, as we not only saw the main sights of the old town but also some off-the-beaten-path locations that we definitely wouldn't have seen or learned about otherwise. Heidelberg is a university town, and it was great that our guide was a student there. Highly recommended!

Great day trip to do from Barcelona - We traveled to Heidelberg to see its imposing castle, but we couldn't leave the city without learning about its history. Heidelberg, though small, is a very charming city. It has a river, mountains, a castle, and thousands of students, as it's home to a university, which, incidentally, is the oldest in Germany. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Heidelberg for the first time.
