Reisroute
Ga met ons mee voor een excursie naar Heidelberg, de romantische en prachtige oude stad aan de oevers van de rivier de Neckar. Kies een ochtend of middag vertrektijd. We bereiken Heidelberg in 1,5 uur rijden van Frankfurt.
Onze eerste stop is bij de Heidelberg Castle ruines hoog boven de vallei en bezienswaardigheid van de stad. Het kasteel is al vijfhonderd jaar de residentie van de machtige keurvorsten en is een belichaming van de Duitse romantiek. We bezoeken de grote, indrukwekkende binnenplaats met zijn middeleeuwse woongebouwen, de prachtige renaissancegevels en de levensgrote beelden van het Friedrichsgebouw en het imposante Ottheinrichsgebouw. Vanaf het grote terras geniet u van een fantastisch panorama uitzicht over het historische Heidelberg. In de kelderkluizen tonen wij u de grootste houten wijnvaten ter wereld.
Het tweede deel van onze reis staat in het teken van het prachtige oude stadscentrum : op een wandeltocht door de kromme steegjes naar Karlspoort en de Oude Brug, het Ridderhuis, opnieuw met een opvallende Renaissancegevel, en naar de Kerk van de Heilige Geest – om maar enkele belangrijke bezienswaardigheden te noemen. Heidelberg huisvest ook de oudste universiteit van Duitsland. Er is tijd voor fotoshoots en een privé wandeling.
Daarna rijden we terug naar Frankfurt wat ongeveer 1,5 uur duurt

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.!
The actual experience exceeded expectations. Sites were amazing, guide gave abundance of information with humor. Delightful.
