    Heidelberg Castle full of experiences and a fascinating tour with Sarah
    Sarah impressed us right from the start with her warm manner and her extensive knowledge of the history of the castle and the region. She told us about the castle's beginnings in the 13th century, the different architectural styles it has undergone over the centuries and the historical figures who have lived there. The stories about the destruction and reconstruction that the castle has undergone were particularly fascinating. We learnt much more about the castle than we could have imagined. We can only highly recommend Sarah and will certainly choose her to accompany us again on another visit to Heidelberg.

    Highly recommend.
    Really fantastic tour. We arrived knowing very little of Heidelberg and Sarah, our guide, filled us with so much information. She is very knowledgeable of this city and expertly shared information about this city and its history. Sarah was able to tell us stories of Heidelberg one does not find in a tour book. We learned a ton. This tour was the highlight of our stay in Heidelberg. Highly recommend!!!

    City tour
    Sarah guided me in a snowy Sunday through the city and the exceptional castle of Heidelberg. I can only say she is so pleasant and informative that time passes by without noticing it. She did not just mentioned names and dates that no one can remember at the end but the most important: she connects all the facts and bring them to life by relate them to our modern time. She is the reason someone should visit Heidelberg.

    Beautiful city
    We took the guided tour of Heidelberg Castle by ETS travel booked through Expedia. This was a half day tour, we started at 9:30am and were back by 3:00pm. This tour was in English language, guide was excellent, she guided us through the each step, and was very knowledgeable. Problem we had was that she soft spoken and I had a hard time hearing her and her German Accent. Over all tour was great.

Sarah was wonderful! Incredibly knowledgable and patient with all of our questions. She was also flexible in adjusting time as we were about 20 minutes behind schedule ourselves. She showed us the highlights but also some "hidden treasures" for those how are curious about history.
Would highly recommend!

Our September Heidelberg walking tour with Sarah was a pleasure! Her nuanced knowledge of history and her so enthusiastic and yet thoughtful teacher ways made us appreciate the already lovely sites even more. A great guide. An apt photographer also. Thank you, Sarah!

We woukd have loved to get inside the Catholic churches, tho we understand our 4:30 pm walk made that near impossible. Heidelberg is lovely, no wonder our national hero Jose Rizal wrote the poem “Las Flores Del Heidelberg” over a century ago.

Beautiful city ,quite historical and full of interest, which I would not have understood without the information I received from my guide. She was efficient, pleasant, humorous, and presented everything through her perspective, which made the tour a bit more personal. I was very pleased. It was exactly what I wanted.

Sarah's city tour in Heidelberg was very informative and entertaining. Our tour guide offered a unique combination of professionalism and enjoyment which allowed us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the city and its historical background. So if you're in Heidelberg, don't miss out on a magical experience with an English-speaking guide who checks all the boxes!

This is such a great and informational tour. We live an hour away and often bring visiting family and friends to Heidelberg so I’ve done multiple tours here and this one was the best. The castle is not a part of this tour but you still get plenty of information about the castle and all you need for going and seeing the castle on your own later. Definitely recommend!

This was a very knowledgable tour of history. We went through the dark ages up to after s the second war. I found it interesting how big part religious and war between katholic and protestant had on Heidelberg.
