Our trip from Frankfurt to Heidelberg was quite a treat! The scenery on the way there was beautiful! The castle ruins were fun to learn about. Lunch at an authentic German restaurant was delicious! And the Benz Museum, open on the Saturday we booked, had an extensive display of beautifully restored antique cars and not just Mercedes. Maik makes the trip informative and entertaining! It’s obvious that he enjoys his work! It’s very convenient and stress-free to be picked up from the hotel and then dropped back off at the end of the day!

Tour guide Michael Maus made it all possible starting with pickup at the airport, fabulous tour and drop off at my hotel. Michael (Maik) was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the local customs and culture. He had good answers and perspective on my many history and political questions to give me a better understanding of the area. He has lived many years in the area and his personal experiences made sightseeing authentic! Thanks Maik!
