Unforgettable!
No four star review from us, strictly five star all the way. Manfred is the quintessential professional with a personal flair! From doing advanced research into our genealogical trip, to acting as interpreter, Manfred helped facilitate a trip I have been waiting to do for years. From navigating back roads in small villages and acting as liaison with townspeople and museum curators to finding great places to eat, he made our trip more than anything I could have dreamed of. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Thank you Manfred!

Fabulous Guide
We had a fabulous day touring wine country with Manfred! He was so kind, knowledgeable and informative and took great care of us. Not only did he make sure that we had the best experience possible during our tour, but reached out to us afterward to make sure we were able to navigate our travels safely the following day. We wished we could have taken him with us to guide the rest of our vacation. He truly made us feel as though we had a friend in Heidelberg.

Super scavenger hunt 😊

Heidelberg Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour

Super scavenger hunt 😊
I booked the scavenger hunt for my friend's bachelorette party to bridge the time between two scheduled activities. I thought it was very good that you can download the app a day in advance and are completely flexible with your time. We took a break halfway through and finished the scavenger hunt after dinner. I had been to Heidelberg 3 times before, but I hadn't seen some places at all and now I also have background knowledge on every sight. We thought it was great and will do it again in other cities. 😊

Great Guide
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!

With the executioner’s wife through Heidelberg’s alleys
Peter K, Aug 2026
Entertaining journey through time with insights into a social structure that is not so far away at all.
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!

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.

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.
