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.

  Henry was friendly, knowledgeable, and knew a key sommelier that gave us a great wine tasting and education! A great start to Heidelberg.

  I purchased our tour based on the reviews I read here. Henry was having an off day, he was late, told us little history of market square where the... read more tour started. We walked to the funicular, with very little 'walking tour history' of Heidelberg. When we arrived we were unaware of the extra cost of €8 each to ride up to the castle. During this whole time there has not been an ongoing talk about the history of the city. We were consistently only asked, "Do you have any questions?" For a $108 each We expected a tour guide to provide a consistent narrative of Heidelberg history, especially since he lives there.
He was thoughtful and bought me a chocolate bar for my birthday at the castle wine tasting. 🙂
It was unfortunate that he couldn't remember my name and kept calling by the other persons name in our party of two.
I would not reccomend paying for this tour. In his words "the Free walking tours are good, during Corona." you just tip €10 after them.
That would have been good to know before hand!!! Also, we didn't go to the Old Bridge as stated in the guide. He just said he had to go pick up his daughter. Peace to you Henry.

  I recently took party in the virtual tour of Heidelberg with tour guide Henry. I found it thoroughly enjoyable whilst being very informative and interesting at the same time. It... read more was great to have a break from lockdown and explore a foreign city even if it was only online. The length of the tour was good as well as I never felt bored or was never rushed from one thing to another. Henry himself was pleasant and seemed very knowledgeable. Would recommend.
