Excellent experience - The tour was with a girl named Shuni, a student at Heidelberg University. He gave us an excellent and enjoyable explanation.Also we were lucky to have private tour as it was only my son and I.

A day in Heidelberg, Germany with Shuni - Shuni was very informative about Heidelberg. We toured all over the old town including the university. We were there for the whole day into the evening, so our tour helped us navigate what to do for the rest of the day. She was very respectful of our time and us. Definitely recommend her if you want to learn more about the history of a beautiful town in Germany!

Wonderful Trip! Great guide Shuni - I learned a lot about Heidelberg history and our guide Shuni is so friendly and patient! She also has Interesting anecdotes to share. I recommend to do the tour before your own exploration, because after Shuni's introduction I know better about Where to go how to experience Heidelberg as a local :)

Communicative and Fun Tour - Rythyma was a friendly and enthusiastic guide who gave us a great overview of the wonderful city of Heidelberg. There were only four of us on the tour which made it seem more personal. As a student she knew a lot about the University and it was very interesting to find out some of the less well known information. She shared info about restaurants, bars and other highlights at the end of the tour and was very communicative.

Wanted more facts - Tour guide was very personable and charming however she was not as knowledgeable of Heidelbergs history, statues, etc as our guide in Frankfurt. The tour focused more on the university’s history than Heidelberg’s history.

Disappointed - Guide canceled on us even after changing time from am to pm. We shortened our visit to castle to make tour time. Hugely disappointing.
