Itinéraire
Venez avec nous pour une excursion à Heidelberg, la vieille ville romantique et magnifique sur les rives du fleuve Neckar. Choisissez une heure de départ le matin ou l'après-midi. Nous atteindrons Heidelberg en 1h30 de route de Francfort.
Notre premier arrêt sera aux ruines du château de Heidelberg, haut au-dessus de la vallée et point de repère de la ville. Le château a été la résidence des puissants électeurs pendant une période de cinq cents ans et est une quintessence du romantisme Allemand. Nous visitons la grande cour impressionnante avec ses bâtiments résidentiels médiévaux, les magnifiques façades Renaissance et les statues plus grandes que nature du bâtiment Friedrichs et de l'imposant bâtiment Ottheinrichs. De la grande terrasse, vous profiterez d'une vue panoramique fantastique sur le Heidelberg historique. Dans les caveaux, nous vous montrons les plus grands fûts de vin en bois du monde.
La deuxième partie de notre voyage est consacrée au beau centre-ville ancien : lors d’une visite à pied dans les ruelles tortueuses jusqu’à la Porte de Karl et le Vieux Pont, la Maison des Chevaliers, toujours avec une façade Renaissance exceptionnelle, et à l’église du Saint-Esprit – pour ne citer que quelques-uns des sites importants. Heidelberg accueille également la plus ancienne université d'Allemagne. Il y aura du temps pour la séance photo et une promenade privée.
Ensuite, nous retournerons à Francfort, ce qui prend environ 1,5 heures.

Depending on the route, passengers can spend a lot of time in transportation. And with that less time remains in the attractions .
The booking is misleading and so is the itinerary. I initially booked a 9:30 am tour but changed it to 3:30 when I saw the time frame was available. As soon as our tour guide picked us up his first question was why did I book a 3:30 tour? Confused; I responded because it was available. He then went on explaining how they close @5 and he will now have to rush and has never done an evening tour in over 35 years but would make sure we got to see the castle(s). He was informative of landmarks and history on the drive up. Once we arrived, we walked through the castle gates, saw a wine cellar and went onto a balcony that looked over the city and then left. When I asked about why we didn’t see the inside, he stated that it was now closed and not included in my tour. He mentioned that we could then ride the trolley from the top of the mountain to the bottom but once he saw ppl waiting in line to get down he persuade me to just let him drive down bc he wasn’t sure how he would retrieve his car. The tour was extremely rushed and disappointing. The itinerary said 6 hour tour. 1:30 travel there, 1:30 viewing of the castle, 1:30 tour of the old town and 1:30 back. We left at 1520 and returned a little before 2000. It would be better to book directly through the castle so you know exactly what you are paying for instead of finding out after the transaction when the company I booked with could have reached out to inform me of the issues with the available time slot.
Thomas was a great guide. He was also our guide the previous day on the Rothenberg tour. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
This day trip was definitely worth it! Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and funny. We took a passenger van from Frankfurt (near the main train station) to Heidelberg for the day. It was about a 1 hour trip each way. It was a smaller tour size of 7, which was really nice. Thomas offered to take your picture at many different times during the trip, which as a solo traveler was appreciated. After visiting the castle as a group, you will get some time to explore the old town on your own and shop, get food, or wander. You return to Frankfurt around 3pm. Definitely worth the trip!
The pick-up and drop-off location was not a good place to meet. There were many homeless people who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, sleeping, loitering, and the area was very dirty just to get to the pick-up point. Our guide was very nice but soft-spoken, and it was difficult to hear him. Most of the time, we couldn't understand what he was saying. Other than that, Heidelberg and the castle were wonderful to visit, and we're glad we went. Plus, The van/coach was comfortable and air conditioned, a nice bonus to see a beautiful Castle.
A lovely day out exploring this beautiful castle and town. Our guide, Peter was brilliant and had such deep knowledge.
We saw a lot with our great guide George. He knew the details of history and architecture. He was one of the best!
Just go yourself! Easy train ride, tour is over priced. Tour guide was nice and friendly. But didn't get much history out of the tour.
Heidelberg Castle and the quaint old town is well worth a visit. It was an easy bus ride from Frankfurt and Willy our guide was very entertaining and informative. But the tour was just too short. We rushed through the castle and then had only an hour to explore the town. A full day tour would be much better.
I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this experience. The tour guide was super informative and comical. He kept us informed and entertained. The drive to Heidelberg went fairly quickly and the castle itself was absolutely beautiful. The city of Heidelberg was absolutely breathtaking - I highly recommend walking across the old bridge. I also appreciated having a little bit of free time to wander around before heading back to Frankfurt, but not so much that the afternoon dragged on as I have felt on some day trips. I had just enough time to sit in the old town Square and have a nice lunch while people watching. It was just a beautiful way to spend my Sunday. I highly recommend.!
