Full description

The call of the night watchman rang out every hour in the streets of the former electoral residence on the Neckar. And now it sounds again: During the tours of the Heidelberg night watchman.

The tour starts at the Market Square, by the Hercules Fountain. You'll pass by the City Hall, Holy Spirit Church, and Palais Prinz Carl (former Grand Hotel, one of the most beautiful wedding locations in the region).

Walk along small historic streets like Burgweg and Kanzleigasse until you reach Karl Square from where you can enjoy the best view of the world-known ruins of the old castle.

Pass by many old historic buildings like Palais Boisseree, Science academy, Schmitthenner House, and many more.

The guide will share entertaining stories about the sites and things that one experienced in the nocturnal streets of Heidelberg, the history of the city, its streets and squares, its local originals, and personalities.

Die Tour war locker, kurzweilig und informativ. Obwohl wir nach einem ganzen Tag Sightseeing in der Stadt und einem guten Abendessen eine gewisse Schwerfälligkeit an den Tag gelegt haben, hat unser Guide es geschafft uns zu fesseln. Wir sagen danke und würden die Tour wieder buchen.

Unsere weibliche Nachtwächterin stellte sich mit "Konrad" vor und nahm unsere Gruppe ab dann gedanklich ins vormittelalterliche Heidelberg mit. Im historischen Kostüm und mit schauspielerischem Talent fesselte sie uns an verschiedenen Orten mit tollen Geschichten. Man merkte ihr sowohl das profunde Wissen, als auch die Begeisterung für das was sie vortrug an. Uns hat es ausgesprochen gut gefallen und erhält somit eine klare Empfehlung.

Wir hatten eine Nachtwächterin ☺️ Es war eine tolle Tour zu dritt. Im Februar etwas frostig, also wirklich gut warm anziehen, da man immer länger auf der Stelle steht. Wir waren begeistert von der freundlichen lustigen Art der Nachtwächterin und werden in jeder anderen Stadt wieder so eine Tour machen.
