Nice tour, interesting facts told in an entertaining way and with humor. Highly recommended. Many thanks to night watchman Johann!
The tour with our "private night watchman Konrad" was a lot of fun and educational at the same time. We had booked a tour for our circle of friends (12 people). Because of the small group, it was even more personal. Thanks again, "Konrad"!
The young night watchman led the tour in an amusing and informative way. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Heidelberg's history and the time went by quickly.
Great tour. Punctual and well organized. With halberd and lantern and in costume. Very informative, entertaining, and amusing! Highly recommended. Thanks
The tour was very informative and entertaining. Even as a Heidelberg local, you learn a lot! Gladly again.
Very entertaining and educational. We really enjoyed walking through the alleys with the night watchman. I can only recommend it.
Nice, humorous "night watchman." He told beautiful anecdotes and also provided good dining tips.
A very impressive and informative journey through Heidelberg and its history. We enjoyed it very much. We can only recommend it.
Worth visiting since you not only get to know about history and culture of the city but you travel back in time.
We had Grete as our guide (a nickname). She was truly witty and was able to convey the many pieces of information in a well-structured manner. I would do this night watchman tour again if I visit Heidelberg again in the coming years. Totally entertaining!!
