Very good city tour. We were in Heidelberg and spontaneously decided to take part in a city tour. The two guides, both students, were able to tell us a lot about the most exciting places in Heidelberg and gave us a nice insight into the history and the present of the city. I would book the city tour again and again. Highly recommended.

Excellent, good value for money! So much to see and learn about, and a good route, very easy to use, would recommend!

The tour is great for getting a first impression of the city and you get the opportunity to do a little shopping 😄

Apart from the constant rain, the tour was very interesting and pleasant.

- really great city tour with a great guide, it was great fun! :)
