It didn’t take long for my wife and I to realize we hit the traveler’s jackpot with Henry from Henry Heidelberg Tours.
We’ve had many private guides and highly recommend spending the $ to make the most of your trip, and Henry was not only worth every Euro, but one of the very best we’ve had anywhere and THE BEST in Germany.
He is knowledgeable and bright, but has an easy, comfortable way about him. He not only informed us of the local history and culture, but shared many laughs and stories with us giving us a most enjoyable 1/2 day with him.
He also kindly walked us in several local establishments to give us a glimpse; plus, he even helped set our reservation for dinner later that night at the Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg. We enjoyed the traditional German meal, drinks, and atmosphere at a very reasonable price.
Henry toured us through all the major tourist sites, but also escorted us into a number of behind the scenes locales that helped us better understand and appreciate Heidelberg. These were simply places we never would have found on our own.
We highly recommend the highly knowledgeable and personable Henry for tours in Heidelberg or anywhere else he will take a group.

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!

Henry set is up with a Heidelberg University graduate student named Marian. He was great. We learned a lot about Heidelberg and European history. Just as interesting, it was wonderful to chat with a German student and find out about his life. Very good experience.

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.

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!!

Our business team had such a great time touring Old Town Heidelberg with Henry and Olga! Both were very gracious hosts and we really appreciated not only the many informative details of the various historical landmarks, but also the fun facts sprinkled in. Heidelberg is a beautiful city with very kind and friendly residents, of which we feel were highlighted during our tour. Henry and Olga took us through not only the main streets, but also some of the back streets in order to ensure we saw specific sights. The highlight of our tour was the Castle and its wine tasting - such an incredible way to relax and absorb the castle surrounding us. Additionally, Henry was able to provide, on very short notice, a private tour to the Schwetzingen Gardens & Ladenburg with a trip to the Carl Benz Car Museum. A most enjoyable, unexpected adventure! Arranging our tour with Henry was such a pleasant and seamless process. He kept in continual communication with me from abroad to make sure that upon our arrival, he was providing exactly what we were anticipating - he came through with flying colors! Definitely recommend Henry for any anticipated tours in that area and beyond. He will not disappoint and will most definitely help you create new, lifelong memories!

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.

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.

Admission to the Castle( & student prison) is not included, however access to all other attractions on the tour are included.
I look forward to bringing the history of Heidelberg to life for you.
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.
