Heidelberg Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Great walking tour of the castle and city. The perfect way to learn about the city and its amazing history.

Celia was an excellent guide and flexible to take us to locations of our interest. Her son Mohammed was pleasant and fun – we enjoyed having him along.

Super nice boat trip, great service, nice skippers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had a truly wonderful visit to SEA LIFE! 🐠🪼🐙 It was incredibly beautifully designed, and thanks to the many different interactive activities, it was not boring at all.I found the touch station especially great, where you could carefully touch starfish and sea urchins yourself, among other things. 🥰 That was a really beautiful experience and made the visit something special.The various feedings were also super interesting! You could learn a lot about the animals, and thanks to the design of the aquariums, you sometimes really had the feeling of being underwater yourself. 🌊🐟Overall, it was a wonderful experience – informative, varied, and at the same time really entertaining. You can tell how much attention to detail is in the entire facility. ❤️We would love to come back and can absolutely recommend a visit! 🐠✨

A really great boat tour! The trip was super relaxed, the view beautiful, and the atmosphere on board simply great. The crew was very friendly, attentive, and ensured a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, an all-around successful experience – I would do it again anytime and definitely recommend it!

From my first communication with Henry I was confident that he was the right choice! Henry put a lot of effort into creating a bespoke tour for our groups needs. He went above and beyond our expectations to ensure we saw everything we wanted to. Henry was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. The car was spotlessly clean and comfortable with great air conditioning which was much needed on a hot day! If you want a great tour of beautiful Heidelberg with a knowledgeable guide Henry is your guy!

Very pleasant tour in French with our guide Silja. The tour allows you to discover the city beyond its history by visiting different neighborhoods. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered our questions well. Easy and safe route.

We booked this journey back in time to the year 1812 because it simply fits: Regarding our expectations for entertainment. On the weekend (only in summer on Saturdays or Sundays at 11 a.m. each day) Regarding our schedule and physical capability (90 minutes with a manageable distance and little incline) Regarding the budget (approx. 32 euros is perfectly fine) And we were 100% satisfied. The executioner's wife tells anecdotes from times past with serious self-irony, so that one gladly draws parallels to some of today's occurrences and spontaneously refrains from any sentiment along the lines of "everything was definitely better in the past." Truly recommended!

A great event. We were 17 people on two boats. Beautiful and clean boats with enough space to chill. The snack platters were a delight, drinks cold with cool music. My friends were thrilled. Everything was excellent. Thanks to you, Georg, and your boat team. Keep it up!!!

The city itself is so beautiful, straight out of a fairytale. Loved our stay here, and the guide was amazing. We explored the city like locals, had fun exploring the food and the streets. The guide also suggested visiting Heidelberg Castle, which we did the next day. covered many places in short time. Best for couples. Overall, it was excellent.

Simply mega friendly and in a good mood.

We embarked on this tour to explore Heidelberg. Our knowledgeable guide, Henry, was well-versed in German history, particularly Heidelberg’s. He led us to the most captivating parts of the town, including the castle. His friendly and accommodating nature ensured that our 11-year-old son was thoroughly entertained throughout the tour. We truly appreciate his expertise and guidance.

Our tour guide, Henry, did a masterful job introducing us to Heidelberg. He kept everyone’s attention with his sense of humor and adventure.

I found Henry Cottam on the website and he was truly the very best. Without him our trip to Heidelberg would feel so lost. He was great help and an amazing man. He was overly communicative before and during the tour and we truly appreciated him as a group.

Take in every suggestion the guide has to offer. It's a great area and worth taking ia all in. Be ready to walk...

Very entertaining tour! Very informative and engaging! 10 out of 10 points! Exciting stories from the Middle Ages! It is truly worth it!!!
