We had a great time exploring Heidelberg even though it was freezing. It was cool to have some additional pieces of history provided as we tried to find different landmarks. Our brains weren’t functioning well in the cold and the riddles were frustrating at times but the app lets you skip that part if you want. Overall it was a fun way to see things that we would have probably missed.

Top. Well-prepared tour, with a night watchman who carries out his job seriously and yet with a lot of wit. Unfortunately I can't give myself more than 5 stars because he deserves more. Thank you Mr. night watchman for the great tour.

We were shown around the city by a very personable night watchman. He gave us all sorts of interesting information about life and the buildings in the district that cannot be read anywhere else

The tour was very informative and lively without being overloaded with numbers. In addition, I was very happy about the problem-free refund in cash for a surplus ticket for private reasons!!!

Very simple and practical. The stories are short and to the point. Very good for exploring the city.
