GERMANY
The standouts.
A run-down of the 7 best heidelberg tours in Germany: what each one is really like, who runs it, and what it costs.
Cruise the Neckar in Heidelberg for 50 minutes with a free drink, passing the Old Bridge and getting great views of Heidelberg Castle.
“the boat trip was lovely. Michael was great fun. The food in the restaurant was pretty bad. The restaurant itself I found gaudy and tacky. I guess it's a personal thing.”

Walk Heidelberg with the Night Watchman, hearing medieval stories of life outside the city walls while you hit Market Square and the old bridge.

A spooky walking tour in Heidelberg with the hangman’s daughter, medieval crime stories, and a historical-costume guide for 1.5 hours.
Private VW-van tour from Heidelberg with Manfred. Flexible castles, towns and Strasbourg options, free drinks, and easy pickup for up to 5.
“Manfred was an amazing guide! He contacted me almost immediately after booking and asked what our interests are and if we needed any accommodations. The day prior to our tour I asked if we could get coffee and a pastry while we discussed what we wanted to see. Manfred was very knowledgeable about the area.…”
Glide Heidelberg on a Segway along the Neckar and up to the Philosophers’ Walk for jaw-dropping castle views and easy first-timer fun.
“Thankyou so much for our tour, we really enjoyed it. There were only 3 of us and we were taken around by the lovely guide Melanie. The Segways were easy to drive and the instructions were thorough and clear, we always felt safe and we really enjoyed driving them. It was much easier than you…”
