Essential walking tour of Heidelberg!
Mar 2020 • Solo
Travelling alone it is always great and meet a guide that can show you particular points of the city is something that it always worth. Henry is very kind and know about history of the city, details, points of interest that I share with him. My visit to Heidelberg was not complete if I could not book that walking tour. Hope return next time and do other options of tour. Really reliable!

Great Tour with Henry
Dec 2019 • Couples
My wife and I arrived in Heidelberg the day prior so we explored a good bit of old town and the castle on our own. When we met with Henry the morning of our tour, we were the only two on the tour. We discussed what we had seen with Henry, he altered his plan and gave us a unique tour of old town. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out things that we missed on our own.
While in Germany we went on many guided tours, but Henry was by far the best tour guide. If you are looking for an excellent tour in a great town, then we recommend going on a tour with Henry.

Great tour in Heildenberg!!!
Nov 2019 • Business
I was in Heidelberg on 26th November with my guests from Philippines and they really enjoyed the walking tour throughout Old Town. Our guide Mr.Henry patient guide and very talented i would say, gave us very interesting information regarding Heidelberg.
We mostly enjoyed walking in the student square and my guests felt proud as exactly in that square is a honorable plaque of Philippines national hero José Rizal.
I would strongly recommend Heidelberg as it is really highlights city in that region.
A big thank you to our guide Henry!!

We had a great experience with Henry, who provided interesting details of the city, its institutions, its people and even a couple of shops, which otherwise would not be apparent just strolling the city on our own.

Jul 2019 • Family
While traveling through Germany, we stopped in Heidelberg and got a great tour. The 11 year old loved all the facts and dates and while my 15 year old was initially skeptical, she warmed up after a while with Henry’s tailored tidbits of information and fun manner. We learned a lot and had fun too, and learned history and where good gelato was!

Day out in Heidelberg Castle
Jun 2019 • Couples
Day out in Heidelberg Castle from Böblingen. We bought baden württemberg ticket prices 30€. This ticket valid for 9:30am to till 12:00 night. Travel distance from Böblingen to Heidelberg was nearly 2-3hr. From Heidelberg bahnhof ost to Rathaus we travelled by bus no.20. After that we bought tram tickets included Castle entry tickets. Cost pp 8€. In 5 minutes we were there in Castle Station. It was a wonderful trip. You can see all views in my photos.

What is the difference in the 2 and 3 hour tour? Does the tour include entry to Schloss Heidelberg? Thank you!
Henry C
Heidelberg, Germany122 contributions
Hello Cyndy,
Thanks for your enquiry. Usually the tours do not include entry into the Castle itself, although we learn all about it from the outside & visit the amazing Castle garden. However entry into the Castle can easily be arranged if you ask for it in advance.
During the pandemic the Castle was closed and it‘s opening remains very changeable so it‘s not 100% certain that I can guarantee entry.
It would be a pleasure to show you around beautiful Heidelberg any time.
Warmly yours,
Henry.

We are a family of four on our way to Heidelburg and contemplate booking a guided tour of the old town tomorrow. Will it be possible to adjust the level so that the youngest (8 years) member of the family also will find it interesting?
Kind regards,

My wife and I are thinking of booking the tour. She is about 8 months pregnant so would there be any issues with the tour? I read about the 333 steps, so this might be something a bit too much but would rely on your expertise.
Henry C
Heidelberg, Germany122 contributions
Yes, of course i can accommodate your pregnant wife - no problem at all. Indeed there’s a funicular railway up to the Castle which avoids the need for any steps at all.
When were you thinking of coming to Heidelberg?
Warmly yours,
Henry.

Hi Henry
We would like to take one of your 3 hour tours on the 20/12 and just wondering what time do they start. Also do you take tours in all kinds of weather being that it will be winter and also how long do we spend inside the castle during the tour.
Thank you and looking forward to being there.

Hello Leah,
Thanks for your enquiry. Yes,I'd be very happy to give you a Heidelberg Old Town & Castle tour on that day. Generally the tours start every hour from 09.00 to 15.00. However on that particular day it would suit me better to start at 09.00 or 10.00, if that works for you(?)
We usually spend about 1 hr in the Castle, but longer, or shorter, is also possible if you prefer. And, yes, the tours run whatever the weather.
Looking forward to meeting you in beautiful Heidelberg.
Warmly yours,
Henry.

Is this tour only outside or does it include an inside tour of the Heidelberg castle?
Henry C

Hi Olivia,
On the 3 hr tour yes we go inside the Castle , but on the 2 hr tour we see it from the outside with the option to go inside after the tour if you like.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Warmly yours,
Henry.
