Gorgeous medieval city!

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide Victor walked us through the beautiful streets of Heidelberg, a wonderful German city located near Frankfurt. We were there for a day only so this tour was exactly what we needed. Would recommend!

Awesome city!

Published on Feb, 2025

From all the cities I been until now in Germany, Heidelberg is the most beautiful and interesting one. This place has beautiful architecture, a river, mountains, a university and even a castle. What else you can ask for. This tour met my all my expectations and I definitely learnt a lot!

Super informative and fun tour!

Highly recommend Viktor's tour of Heidelberg! Communication beforehand was really helpful. We walked all over Heidelberg with Viktor, who is a student in the city, so he had really good tips for places to eat/drink, and interesting stories about the history of the city. This was genuinely such a fun experience despite it being rainy and cold.

Great day trip to Heidelberg!

We were only in Heidelberg for a day since we're staying in Frankfurt, and this walking tour with Viktor was a fantastic way to explore the city! Viktor was an amazing guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about Heidelberg’s rich history. We especially enjoyed wandering through the charming Old Town and learning about its important landmarks. Even though our time was short, we left feeling like we had a real connection to the city, thanks to Viktor’s insights and enthusiasm. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to make the most of a short visit!

Awesome tour with Viktor!

We’re staying in Frankfurt but decided to take a day trip to Heidelberg, and this walking tour with Viktor was awesome! As two friends exploring the city for the first time, we loved how laid-back and fun the tour was. Viktor made the history super interesting and kept the vibe really engaging, showing us all the cool spots in the Old Town. We got some great recommendations for places to grab food and drinks too. If you're looking to get the most out of a quick visit, this tour is definitely the way to go!
