Great day trip to Heidelberg! - We were only in Heidelberg for a day since we're staying in Frankfurt, and this walking tour with Viktor was a fantastic way to explore the city! Viktor was an amazing guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about Heidelberg’s rich history. We especially enjoyed wandering through the charming Old Town and learning about its important landmarks. Even though our time was short, we left feeling like we had a real connection to the city, thanks to Viktor’s insights and enthusiasm. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to make the most of a short visit!

Awesome tour with Viktor! - We’re staying in Frankfurt but decided to take a day trip to Heidelberg, and this walking tour with Viktor was awesome! As two friends exploring the city for the first time, we loved how laid-back and fun the tour was. Viktor made the history super interesting and kept the vibe really engaging, showing us all the cool spots in the Old Town. We got some great recommendations for places to grab food and drinks too. If you're looking to get the most out of a quick visit, this tour is definitely the way to go!

Walking tour through the Old Town! - I arrived in Chania this morning, and the walking tour through the Old Town was the perfect way to get to know the city! The narrow streets, charming old buildings, and beautiful harbor were absolutely stunning. Our guide was fantastic, sharing fascinating stories about the city’s history and the mix of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek influences that shaped its architecture. It was the best way to dive into Chania’s rich culture and atmosphere on my first day here. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this beautiful place!

Nice tour - I found the tour rather interesting. Viktor was very informative and very personable. It was raining and he told us he has an alternative route if we weren’t dressed for the rain.

Rainy day tour in Heidelberg - The guide was so nice and a joy to spend time with, even in the rain. It started to pour down and he took us to the university and let us see interesting books on display. He is a credit to your tour company. I think his name is Victor. Lovely rainy day in Heidelberg.

History, culture, and natural beauty all in one place - I have had a wonderful experience on my recent visit to this city. The place is incredible, with spectacular views and a cozy atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help with anything we needed. The facilities were clean and well maintained which made our stay even more comfortable. Plus, the location is perfect for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying the local culture. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience.

A tour of Old Town Hidelbergh - We visited the Jesuit church in Old Town where the organist was tuning the 4000 pipe organ. A member of our group convinced the gentleman to play something for us on the organ. He finally relented and escorted us up to the organ loft where he treated us to a magnificent experience. Our own private concert.

The guide did not arrive, was not even aware of the booking - The tour guide had no idea that he was booked on a trip and so didn't show up. He blamed his manager and Viator, probably correct. The tour guide then spoke to me on the phone and sent me a few tips. Viator refunded me, but that's not the point - I still had no tour.

So disappointing. - Our guide did not show. What more is there to say. Really a disappointment. And really no way to contact anyone. Hmmm. What will you do about it?

Poor communication - Tried to contact the tour operator to let them know we would be late. They didn’t bother to respond and we had no way of meeting up with them later which we could have easily done considering it was a walking tour. Better to just explore this town on your own. We did and it was perfect.
