Baden, the most beautiful country in … - Not only "Heidelberg newbies" learn a lot of facts about the city's history, which was told in a very entertaining way by Marius, the night watchman. Our heads were a little buzzing with so much history. To our delight, we spontaneously sang the Baden song on our 3 km long tour :-) Many thanks to Marius, who bravely led us through the rain and who now knows why I asked him his name ;-)

No show guide - We showed up… the guide did not. A call would have been nice. We waited where we were told. I messaged Viator and guide. Please refund.
