About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 349megank0 contributionsExceeded ExpectationsMy husband loves history and requested a private tour of Heidelberg (our new home) for his birthday. Henry was knowledgeable, kind, and happy to answer any questions. He took us to all the hot spots and helped me execute a memorable and customized gift. We ended at a local brewery for beer and lunch- overall tour exceeded my expectations.Written 4 November 2024
- tiffanycI5462PN0 contributionsHeidelberg with HenryMy parents and I were on a quick trip to Frankfurt and wanted a day trip to Heidelberg. We have visited that city before but I wanted to dig a little deeper. To save time/energy, I decided to research for a local guide and found Henry. He was very accommodating and was able to communicate very efficiently thru WhatsApp. Being in a foreign environment, there’s always an element of chaos and stress, but Henry eased my mind even before meeting him by being super understanding. Tour itself was informative and exciting. We booked the 2 hour tour and were craving for more. You can tell he was passionate about the history and also respectful for our inquires about Heidelberg (even the most random things like the birds in the area) made great food recommendations. We had local German food at a place he recommended and it was fantastic! Overall, it felt like strolling with an old friend. (Oh! And he’s a great photographer!) Exploring a city with a guide was a first experience for my parents and Henry exceeded their expectations as well. I especially appreciated his demeanor towards my parents as English/German is not their first language. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, even if you have visited the city before. Thank you Henry!Written 28 October 2024

- Diane C0 contributionsHeidelberg Old Town TourMy sister and I took this tour with Henry as our tour guide on short notice yesterday. First off, the company was very responsive to my changing schedule. Henry was a great guide and showed us the perspective of a local. We enjoyed his take on Old Town and the places he suggested. Highly recommend!Written 5 September 2024

- coreyg1800 contributionsSelf-guided tour!Henry is AWESOME!! We are a family of 7 and he was amazing to help us with all the logistics and directions to ride from Heidelberg to Ladenburg on a self-guided tour. He gave us all the instructions, pointed out important turns, and saved us a ton of trouble in finding our way to the sweet spot of Ladenburg! Use Henry's advice! Even if there's not room on the guided tour, or if the timing doesn't work for him or you to be in person, take the initiative and ask him to send you the details. We had a fantastic day!Written 19 August 2024

- maW6753UC0 contributionsGreat Trip to Black ForestThis was a great and amazing trip. Henry picked us up on time at our hotel, and drove us to the Black Forest region. The tour was truly spectacular. Henry provided us with really good information as to the region, history of the places we visited, stopped for photo opportunities and took us to great places for hiking and food. Henry is a great guide, very knowledgeable and I will work with him again for future trips.Written 19 May 2024

- 388camis0 contributionsWONDERFUL PRIVATE TOUR! Henry is amazing. RnWe hired Henry to take us on a private tour in the Heidelberg area. He was very friendly, on time, and extremely knowledgeable. He is well traveled, cultured, and interesting to talk to. He spent time researching all of our questions and requests ahead of time. He was happy to take photos for us, and looked out for us at every turn. We saw Heidelberg castle, the famous bridge, old town, and the University. Henry also does food tours, and has even done private guided tours into Switzerland. He is very familiar with the area. Don’t even look for any other tours while you are in Heidelberg—just email Henry.Written 4 March 2024

A quiet ride through farmlands from the HBF to Ladenburg. Learned of the Roman presence, as it was an official City of the Roman Empire. Also, this was the place where Carl Benz built his first automobile in 1884.

Henry is an excellent tour operator and we were very glad to have him as our guide. We always appreciate getting to know towns and communities from a local perspective and feel Henry has captured this ideal. Polite and accommodating. An excellent way to learn history and see the sites as if an old friend was giving you a quick tour of their town.

Being of slightly advanced years I was somewhat in trepidation about this bicycle tour fearing the strain of hills and worry of holding others back. But my concerns were totally unfounded as Henry the superb English tour guide made me fell completely at ease at all times and kept giving me encouragement and a helping hand whenever needed.
All in all a really enjoyable, thorougly recommended and first class tour - thank you Henry.

Dear Johnny,
Thanks for your review & it was a great pleasure to have you on the bicycle tour. As you now know the route is all flat so there was no need to worry about your fitness level, although I personally thought you looked in great condition. But, as you can see this tour is easily manageable for all ages and is designed to be fun for everyone.
Thanks again for joining the tour and I look forward to welcoming you on another tour some day soon.
All the very best & enjoy your trip to South America.
Warm regards,
Henry.

I work in the travel industry - I work with many vendors- and booking a bike tour with Henry him I would not recommend. He is located a big distance from town with no pick up as his web site states. Two days before, as I was traveling , he was still making changes to the reservation. The meeting point changed as did an extra charge for each bike that he decided to tack on. I do not think he had the bikes available. Then 2 days before we were to meet him the reservation was canceled and he stated in an email to me that he was no longer available too do the outing. He is new to Viator and Viator has been notified as has trip advisor. I would look elsewhere when booking any tour with hm.

Dear Gerald11,
Thankyou for your review and let me also say that it was a disappointment to me too that your tour did not take place. I was indeed well prepared for your tour and had made special checks with my bicycle supplier that he had the 10 required adult & children's bikes. I was all set to go.
But basic fact of the matter is that TripAdvisor themselves set me an e.mail 2 days before your tour informing me that it was cancelled. It was then at this point that I made alternative plans.
I am very sorry that you did not get to enjoy this tour but I am very clear that the error lies with Tripadvisor and not myself.
Ps; i fully intend to clarify this matter with Tripadvisor who I hope will provide you with further explanations as to what happened exactly.

A highlight of our trip to Heidelberg was Henry’s bike tour. It was a great activity for teens. We enjoyed seeing a small town and riding past gardens and farms in the countryside as well as fresh fruit from a local stand. A beautiful way to explore a new place as well as getting some exercise.

We arrived in Heidelberg having spent a long day traveling and Henry’s bike tour was the perfect way to stretch our legs and dust off that travel feeling... We were a little hesitant as the weather was cold and as it was December and the days were shorter however all our worries were to be soon put to sleep as this bike talk went from strength to strength. Filled with picturesque views and wonderful scenery, the highlight of the trip was the beautiful castle lit up in all its splendour (I couldn’t help but include a picture below as it was so beautiful). It was the perfect pace, we didn’t feel we were being rushed and never felt the need to hurry Henry on. Henry himself was extremely friendly and easygoing with a vast wealth of knowledge of the town and surrounding area whixh was complemented by his witty humor. I would recommend this to any keen sightseers interested in exploring a wonderful city.
All the best

The bicycle tour from Heidelberg to Ladenburg is really great! You cycle almost all the time along the river without any cars on the path and can relax totally and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful landscape. Henry even provides to make a stop for swimming in the river, my boyfriend loved it! Ladenburg is a very special quaint place, Henry can tell you interesting things about its history and show you where to get some delicious ice cream ;). Very recommendable trip!

I did this tour with some business friends. Henry Cottam was an exceptionally good tour guide. The tour was excellently prepared. Henry passed on sound knowledge in a very humorous way. Nice anecdotes loosened the tour again and again and always made for a good mood. The tour is highly recommended.
