Review of a private Heidelberg tour with Manfred in a luxury VW van, covering custom routes, local sights, castles, wine towns, and airport pickup.

“We were able to visit both Heidelberg and Spyer the same day. Manfred knows Heidelberg really welll. He took us to the Philosophers’ Walk (a special request from me), the Heidelberg Castle, the Old Town, and a nice restaurant for lunch. We then proceeded to visit the Speer Cathedral. The whole experience was excellent because of Manfredis knowledge. The van was spacious and very comfortable.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 316 reviews · 2 hours · from $44

Review of Heidelberg’s 2-hour bus and castle tour, with practical tips on price, weather, German guides, funicular, and what to expect.

“Annette und Siegfried waren zwei wunderbar sympathische Reisebegleiter mit Herz und Leidenschaft für Sightseeing und Schlösser. Sehr informativ, sehenswert und definitiv jeden Cent wert. Absolute Empfehlung! Als kleiner Tipp für diejenigen, die (wie ich) zum ersten Mal nach Heidelberg reisen: Parken am besten im Parkhaus am Karlsplatz. Parkplätze sind nämlich eine kleine Rarität - wie es dieses Schmuckstück von Reiseerlebnis ist. :)”
