They didn't show. Super disappointing :( ! Sending a cancellation notice would have been the very least! I was waiting for almost half an hour with 4 other people. We tried to call and we messaged on fb - no reply.

The tour was great! I had the chance to walk around the city with Halina, who was lively and enthusiastic, sharing historical and fun facts about Heidelberg. I highly recommend going with her—she usually leads the tours on Saturdays and Sundays. 🌷😉

Our Tour Guide was knowledgeable and charming. We are delighted to have gotten to know Deena (sp?). The pace was comfortable and she has now set us all up for success as we continue to explore Heidelberg. Far above expectations!
