Sarah was an excellent guide! She met me at my hotel (Hollander Hof), and we set out on a tour of the Alte Stadt. I lived in the area in grade school, so I had been on many field trips to the old city, but there was so much I had learned. Sarah did a fantastic job filling in my knowledge gaps and suggesting things to see and places to visit. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Heidelberg and its long history.

Sarah was wonderful! Incredibly knowledgable and patient with all of our questions. She was also flexible in adjusting time as we were about 20 minutes behind schedule ourselves. She showed us the highlights but also some "hidden treasures" for those how are curious about history. Would highly recommend!

Tolle Führung! Viele Informationen, historische Fakten und auch kleinere Fun Facts. Die Zeit verging im Flug und ich hatte viel Spaß! Obwohl wir am Abend gestartet sind und es dunkel war habe ich viel spannendes gesehen und es ist nochmal ein anderes Flair! (Vor allem die Altstadt im Advent!)
