Excellent value for money. I use La Vacanza Travel over and over due to exceptional service. The castle is rich in history and a must see attraction. Simple cable ride to the top makes a difference. The guide was punctual and possessed a wealth of knowledge. Guide Peter went out of his way to add on much more information especially in the tour of the old town as we were just two people on this tour

Best part of our Germany trip! Heidelberg Castle tour did not disappoint. Our tour guide Thomas was wonderful. He was on time, gave us a guided tour on the way to the castle pointing out landmarks and all the castles on the way to our destination. The van was clean with large windows and comfortable. The castle tour was thorough and not rushed and we had plenty of time to have lunch (several places to choose from) and shop. I definitely recommend this trip, you will have incredible memories. Thanks again to Thomas!

In the words of our paid tour guide, “get a train ticket from Frankfurt and explore it on your own.”
