  I enjoyed very much the virtual tour. Henry quickly created a familiar atmosphere among the participants and it was almost like we were walking together with him around Heidelberg's old... read more city. The tour was very informative and, although I have been living in Heidelberg for more than 16 years, I was surprised how many corners and details I had not noticed before and how much history and information they contained. The tour was also very interactive, which helped in creating an enjoyable and sometimes also funny atmosphere. An even more powerful zoom in the camera would have allowed us to see finer details or read more easily some inscriptions but Henry then described them or read them for us. Very well done, Henry, I look forward to an in-person tour!

  It was a real pleasure meeting Henry and having him show us around Heidelberg.
His detailed knowledge of the current Town and its history enlightened us .
The Castle tour... read more with the wine tasting was a proper highlight and a big thanks too to Timo (who served the wine and added some great facts about the Castle and the local wines).
The itinerary, length of the walk and content were all just right for us .
Thanks again Henry - all the best for successful future tours .

  This walking tour was absolutely delightful.

As I am from the contiguous US, and had never been to Heidelberg, I had a lot to learn.

Finishing the tour at an eatery with local wines really enhanced the experience by adding an even more familiar and welcoming atmosphere. We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone spending time in Heidelberg.
