“We had an outstanding day with Manfred. Our tour far exceeded our expectations. Manfred is highly knowledgeable and we were able to see and learn so much. We didn’t feel rushed, we got to see and try things we didn’t expect based on his recommendations, which truly heightened our experience. Besides the Heidelberg castle and historic Old City, the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens is a must visit! Add it to your list. Weinheim is another small, stunning city we got to visit. If you have time, even for a coffee, it’s worth the trip! I highly recommend you book an experience with Manfred for your next trip. He even made sure…”
