a friend in heidelberg is the name of my service. Many guests of mine told me that this describes extremely well what I have to offer. The stops mentioned under "Itinerary" are possible destinations of our tour. I am more than happy to compose an individual tour, which is based entirely on your preferences and wishes. I was not only born in the famous historical city of Heidelberg and know the area extremely well, but also lived and worked in the US and hence speak fluent English. If you wish, I can help you with the organization of your trip ahead of time.

What a wonderful day we had with Manfred! My wife and our two friends recently enjoyed a tour of Heidelberg with Manfred during our Viking cruise. He truly sets a new bar in private touring - from proactive communication to local knowledge to customizing the tour to your liking. He took us to Heidelberg Castle and gave us a private tour with many stories about the castle. We enjoyed an excellent meal in town and had some time for shopping and exploring. What sets Manfred apart at the many little things that make a tour special - working out the details in advance so you have no worries, the personal stories about his family and friends, the willingness to make changes on the fly during the tour. Manfred's love of his home is contagious and will make you feel like you explored a beautiful place with a close friend. If anyone is considering travel to Heidelberg or the nearby areas, you cannot do better than to contact Manfred for the tour of a lifetime!

Manfred is a delightful and caring person. Our excursion, unfortunately, turned into a medical episode for my wife. Manfred, with his knowledge of the area, knew where to take her for urgent care. He devised a plan that allowed the rest of our small group to see the castle while he took my wife for care. We kept in touch via text and were able to meet later for lunch. My wife is doing much better now. I trusted Manfred with my wife’s problem and safety and he came through - Big Time!! Thank you Manfred Manfred checks all the boxes for an excellent guide - prompt, knowledgeable, professional, personable , caring and a genuine nice guy.

My family and I visited Heidelberg while pursuing my dad's genealogical research in the region. We traveled outside the city with Manfred, and I would highly recommend to anyone that you do the same. Working with Manfred allowed us to focus on our family and family history, and he deftly navigated our travels, our schedule and our gracious hosts. He was at once our tour guide, and truly, our Friend in Heidelberg!
