Our guide was a 10/10. Extremely knowledgeable and fun trip. His way of teaching us about the history and allowing us to explore and learn things on our own was perfect. We can't wait to come back!

Michael knows Heidelberg!
Jacklyn_P, October 2026
Michael is a wonderful tour guide full of knowledge, facts and a great sense of humor. He kept us on schedule and still gave us time to wander through the town. He suggested the best restaurant and you must get a sweet from Grundel’s! At the castle I could really see the difference between our tour snd how lame the others were. Glad I picked Viator and got Michael.

Heidelberg
Leena_D, October 2026
Mike the guide was in great rush, did not explain properly, did not have a mike so difficult to understand unless you are close to him. Felt rushed. There were other guides doing a better job than him. Very disappointed. Heidelberg is worth a visit but avoid this tour.
