Review of Heidelberg’s 2-hour bus and castle tour, with city history, castle grounds, the Great Tun, funicular ride, price, and practical tips.

“Annette und Siegfried waren zwei wunderbar sympathische Reisebegleiter mit Herz und Leidenschaft für Sightseeing und Schlösser. Sehr informativ, sehenswert und definitiv jeden Cent wert. Absolute Empfehlung! Als kleiner Tipp für diejenigen, die (wie ich) zum ersten Mal nach Heidelberg reisen: Parken am besten im Parkhaus am Karlsplatz. Parkplätze sind nämlich eine kleine Rarität - wie es dieses Schmuckstück von Reiseerlebnis ist. :)”
