Knowledgeable guide! Great private tour! - Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable and kept the tour going for the entire two hours! The private element allowed for an intimate experience with a more personal touch to the tour. Would recommend!

Heidelberg Castle full of experiences and a fascinating tour with Sarah - Sarah impressed us right from the start with her warm manner and her extensive knowledge of the history of the castle and the region. She told us about the castle's beginnings in the 13th century, the different architectural styles it has undergone over the centuries and the historical figures who have lived there. The stories about the destruction and reconstruction that the castle has undergone were particularly fascinating. We learnt much more about the castle than we could have imagined. We can only highly recommend Sarah and will certainly choose her to accompany us again on another visit to Heidelberg.
