Heidelberg's Soul: Exclusive Private Castle & City Tour

My family had a wonderful tour of the old town and castle in Heidelberg. Our tour guide Henry was incredibly knowledgeable and kind enough to answer all of our questions from history to beer halls. He also interacted with our 4 children (ages 20, 19, 16, & 13) in areas ranging from their interests to helping them with speaking German. I believe most families would find this adventure enjoyable and Henry quite delightful.

Henry and I had a great morning walking around Heidelberg. He is super knowledgeable, interesting, and fun. He showed me everything and we had great conversations along the way. I would definitely recommend him!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Heidelberg walking tour with Henry. His engaging & relaxed style expertly introduced Heidelberg. Very enjoyable walking through the old town with Henry where the rich history to current was discussed. We recommend seeking out Henry as your guide to Heidelberg.

Henry was extremely knowledgeable about history of Heidelberg. We had family from 4 years to 69 years old, and paced the tour so everyone could easily enjoy the views and understand the importance of Heidelberg Castle. He made reservations for lunch at his favorite restaurant. The courtyard was lovely and food delicious! He included every person by asking questions and helping us relate to the German culture.

We did (2) tours with Henry -- an afternoon tour of Speyer and then a private tour of Heidelberg including the castle. Both experiences were great - we learned a lot about the overall history of the area, and each town. Visiting Speyer Cathedral was enjoyable, and then walking the main street and discussing the town and area and how the single remaining tower was saved was very interesting. Walking Heidelberg was a lot of fun, taking the cog rail to the castle and then learning about the different royalty and how the castle grew and changed over time, seeing the worlds largest wine barrel, and enjoying the magnificent view from the parapets. Would recommend as an enjoyable educational experience.

Henry was very knowledgeable and he gave a great tour of Heidelberg. He tailored his tour to suit our interests, and gave us different tour options. One couple, not in our group, who overheard him talking to us, asked him a very specific questions—and he took a moment to help them, too. We couldn’t have been happier with our tour and tour guide! We whole-heartedly recommend Henry.

If you are looking for a day trip to a quieter, less busy destination then I would definitely recommend Speyer. Our trip was fairly short notice and we lucked out finding Henry as our guide. He planned a relaxing tour of the city and lunch at a very good restaurant in the city center. He was knowledgeable about the city’s history and we toured a few nice spots. I would definitely recommend a trip with him!

We so enjoyed our day trip to Heidelberg! Our guide, Henry, knew so much about the castle we visited and walked us through the town, providing so much info about the area. He even recommended some great restaurants and historic pubs!

My husband loves history and requested a private tour of Heidelberg (our new home) for his birthday. Henry was knowledgeable, kind, and happy to answer any questions. He took us to all the hot spots and helped me execute a memorable and customized gift. We ended at a local brewery for beer and lunch- overall tour exceeded my expectations.

Henry was an amazing guide. He is super educated and a very nice person. He introduces us this area with all the attractions and interesting places. Add local stories and we enjoyed a lot of funny moments.
