        Heidelberg Old Town Tour
        My sister and I took this tour with Henry as our tour guide on short notice yesterday. First off, the company was very responsive to my changing schedule. Henry was a great guide and showed us the perspective of a local. We enjoyed his take on Old Town and the places he suggested. Highly recommend!

        Interesting and Informative
        Informative tour through Heidelberg with a native English speaking guide. Henry is friendly and informative and knows the history of the city and the castle.

        Self-guided tour!
        Henry is AWESOME!! We are a family of 7 and he was amazing to help us with all the logistics and directions to ride from Heidelberg to Ladenburg on a self-guided tour. He gave us all the instructions, pointed out important turns, and saved us a ton of trouble in finding our way to the sweet spot of Ladenburg! Use Henry's advice! Even if there's not room on the guided tour, or if the timing doesn't work for him or you to be in person, take the initiative and ask him to send you the details. We had a fantastic day!

        Excellent!
        Our guide was Bela, and she was very knowledgeable of both the city and the history! She normally does tours for the cruise ships, so we were lucky to get a private tour.

        Great Trip to Black Forest
        This was a great and amazing trip. Henry picked us up on time at our hotel, and drove us to the Black Forest region. The tour was truly spectacular. Henry provided us with really good information as to the region, history of the places we visited, stopped for photo opportunities and took us to great places for hiking and food. Henry is a great guide, very knowledgeable and I will work with him again for future trips.

        Great way to spend the day with a local and history!
        Henry was a delight from the first impression (reaching out via what’s app to confirm) to checking in after our trip was done! We loved the history side of the tour and he brought along graphics to make it come to life! It was a great afternoon that included wine tasting that was a great highlight! Recommend his tours AA++

        Neils was a friendly and highly informative guide and curtailed the tour according to our area of interest - historic/political/social etc. We would definitely recommend him and this tour of the old city.

        The Path Less Traveled in Heidelberg…
        Henry was a phenomenal guide and made our tour a memorable experience. He took us throughout the surrounding area of Heidelberg and gave us a great deal of historical insights along the way. Thanks, Henry! We look forward to doing it again soon!

        Enjoyable walking tour.
        We enjoyed our walking tour with Henry around the historic old town. He was a great storyteller and engaged well with our 7-year old daughter, patiently answering all her questions.

        Black Forest Tour with Henry
        Our recent tour in the Black Forest with Henry was exceptional. Henry's expertise in helping to create a unique and personalized experience truly stood out. From snowy hikes to delightful dining experiences and engaging conversations, our small group had a wonderful day. The blend of nature, food, and camaraderie made this tour memorable. I highly recommend Henry for an unforgettable adventure in Germany's beautiful landscapes.

        Exzellent tour guide with profound knowledge
        Historical connections were explained excellently, using deeply rooted knowledge. Very kind and accurate tour guide for people who are the first time in Heidelberg. Recommending very fine restaurants in the city, we tried at least one und were overwhelmed by the cuisine. 5 points of 5!!! Thanks to Ekki!!!

        Heidelberg tour worth taking.
        Dr Daniel Vuynovich was our guide. He is an American/German resident. His tour mixed current local and historical fact. He pointed out things you would miss if you were wandering around yourself. Very personable guy and guide. Booked him through Get your guide.

        Excellent tour of the Black Forest
        Excellent full-day tour of the Black Forest in November 2023. Henry is a fine gentleman and a wonderful tour guide. His tour of the Black Forest was expertly arranged. We drove and hiked through a variety of locations - forests, streams, lakes, waterfalls, villages - all with beautiful views. Henry is quite knowledgeable about this part of the world and was a great companion. Highly recommend this tour!

      We hired Henry to take us on a private tour in the Heidelberg area. He was very friendly, on time, and extremely knowledgeable. He is well traveled, cultured, and interesting to talk to. He spent time researching all of our questions and requests ahead of time. He was happy to take photos for us, and looked out for us at every turn.
      We saw Heidelberg castle, the famous bridge, old town, and the University. Henry also does food tours, and has even done private guided tours into Switzerland. He is very familiar with the area.
      Don’t even look for any other tours while you
      are in Heidelberg—just email Henry.

      Hi Cami, Thanks a lot for your kind review. It was indeed a pleasure to meet you both and help you out on the trail of tracing your ancestors. That was the first time I have given a tour of Sandhausen and was fun for me to learn more about its rich & varied history. I will certainly forward on to you any interesting information I come across in the future about your hometown of 300 years ago. Wishing you all the best with the rest of your European adventure. Warm wishes, Henry.

      Our day touring Heidelberg with Henry was exactly what we had hoped for. He was quick to read us & geared our day to what we wanted to see. We felt as if we met up with an old friend & toured his hometown. We appreciated the local vibe. We HIGHLY recommend booking with Henry. You will not be disappointed!

      Henry takes small tours which are original, stimulating, challenging (he asks questions!) and really opens the way to loving Heidelberg.. and wanting to explore more of it. Took us the second day on a driving tour of the Neckar to two local villages.. both were wonderful insights. I truly recommend.

      Henry Cottam gave me a really first class and extremely detailed and interesting tour of this wonderful old city steeped in history. His knowledge was great - especially since he is not a German - but his excellent command of the language clearly helped in dealing with the officials and local restaurants and hotels. English being his native language made it a real pleasure to listen to and understand the massive amount there is to learn about Heidelberg and the surrounding countryside. I thoroughly recommend his tour of this city.

      Henry was such a delight that we booked 2 guided tours with him, the first in Old Heidelberg & the next day we rebooked for a drive with him along the Neckar River to a village nearby to see 4 Castles. That morning we joined 2 lovely British ladies we’d already met due to Henry knowing we all were staying at the same hotel which was very nice too. It was an outdoor motor tour & quite interesting. Henry is well versed in German history and culture. He was very personable, knows the best local restaurants & bakeries and was a good communicator. Henry is British & has lived & worked in Heidelberg more than ten years so he definitely knows the area & all the interesting places anyone would want to see. We highly recommended Henry to guide your tour of choice while visiting beautiful Heidelberg!

      WOW! Words just can't describe how awesome Henry's Heidelberg Private Tour was! He captured so much history from the early beginnings, focusing on the incredible architecture of the Castle, the homes, and buildings, taking time to step inside some of the most beautiful churches in the world, and sharing the most interesting details right down to what's behind the University fraternity "!" were all part of this amazing 2 hour tour. Henry's warm and engaging personality topped off with a bit of humor as we strolled along the cobblestone streets and on the shore of the Neckar River resulted in our truly ranking Heidelberg as one of the most spectacular cities in Germany! Thank you, Henry, for making our time together one of the highlights of our entire German trip! Just wishing we could give you and your tour more than a 5 Star rating!
