We had a wonderful time in Heidelberg with Manfred. We took the train from Stuttgart, and Manfred picked us up at the station. Fortunately, Manfred brought along umbrellas for all 5 of us, as it started to rain as soon as we arrived. We spent the morning touring the castle (and the Pharmacy museum, which was a treat for my son who is a Pharmacist!) and then went into the town (Altstadt) for shopping and lunch. There weren’t many restaurants open on off-season Mondays, so keep that in mind if you have options for which days of the week to tour. We found a lovely Italian place, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. After treating us to ice cream, Manfred dropped us off at the shortcut to Philosopher’s Path, where we took a rigorous walk up and down the other side of the river. The views were gorgeous and well-worth the exercise. Manfred picked us up at the end of our walk and dropped us off for dinner at a charming restaurant not too far from the train station. Before catching the train, we stopped at a rooftop bar in the Atlantic Hotel offering great drinks and lovely views of Heidelberg. The McCann family highly recommends booking a tour with Manfred. He goes above and beyond to make your visit to Heidelberg exceptional! Thank you, Manfred!
