A beautiful tour of... - A beautiful tour of Heidelberg & Rothenburg! Michael was an amazing tour guide! So knowledgable and personable. He was very attentive to all of the travelers. He gave a gift to each couple as a remembrance of the trip. We loved both cities and. the history/views of each was very different. He gave a great commentary and welcomed questions.

Incredible Day - Heidelberg and Rothenburg - Michael was extraordinary from start to finish! He is very knowledgeable and a real engaging conversationalist. He guided us through both the castle of Heidelberg and the charming town of Rothenburg. Micahel explained the facades inside the castle with enthusiasm that captivated both us and our children (10 and 7). Don’t hesitate to ask him to take photos of your group, he obviously enjoys both what he does and the historic landmarks of the tour. He suggested an authentic German restaurant in Rothenburg that had a great view of the medieval/fairytale streets. The food (and beer) were great. His vehicle could comfortably hold 7 adults and is clean. The tour lasted 9+ hours and was a fantastic way to explore this area of Germany. Michael is a real gem. He started as our tour guide and ended as part of our family.

Local culture - We had a great time visiting both places. We learned out the Local culture and took quite a few pictures. We had plenty of time to try the local food for lunch and shop for gifts. Highly recommend this tour.
