Bought tickets for this Saturday, the 16th. Still says “pending.” Can someone from the tour contact me to confirm that we are good to come?

  My friend and I spent the Columbus Day weekend in Heidelberg. We opted to take a walking tour of Heidelberg with Henry. The tour included five wine tastings. Originally, we... read more were going to do the visit to the winery; however, we had to sculpt a new version of the tour since the winery was hosting a festival. As there were only two of us, Henry took great care of us with a private and informative tour. He took us to back streets with unque views of the castle and into an Asian garden, which was lovely. He provided some great history of this amazing city. As for the wine tasting, we took the first two in the Karlplatz, where there was a mini wine festival going on. Here, we were joined by an adorable Spanish child, who simply sat down at our table. Her mother joined us too so we stopped the tour, enjoyed two glasses of dry white wine, one from the Weingut Clauer, practiced our Spanish, and adapted. Later, Henry took us to Schnookeloch, where we enjoyed our last three tastings. This is the oldest student bar in Heidelberg. Here, we had the one Portuguese rosé and two of the reds (the Dornfelder and the Spätburgunder) they offered. We also explored this historic bar, restaurant, and hotel. Lots of history here...if only these walls could talk. I Ioved the hats of the fraternities, the woodwork in the lights, and an old poem about the Bruckenaffe. While we didn't eat anything, the wine and service were great. Henry also gave us recommendations on other things to do and places to eat. We immediately took his advice and ordered some onion cake and new wine at the Café Grundel. I definitely will use his tour when I return here with my wife.

Our guide was Henry Cottam. He is a rare blend of knowledge, flexibility and good humor with fastidious attention to our needs. We also toured down the Rhine River and far as the famous German Corner and a private guided tour of the only undamaged 11th century castle on the Rhine. Henry extended our tour to the edge of the Black Forest to the famous spa city of Baden Baden. Frankly, we felt like were were strolling in another era with a special type of tranquility and beauty.

Henry also went the extra mile for us by ensuring that we caught our train to Paris, including helping us with our copious baggage to board the correct train. He is a rare guide.
