Nightwatchman tour - informative and entertaining - Night watchman Konrad had immediately "taken control" of the group and captivated it. We learned a lot of historical information from the time when night watchmen still existed and were shown the contrast with the present time. And the whole thing entertaining, entertainingly humorous and educationally tied up and spiced up with the Heidelberg local themes and sights.
A successful evening!

Baden, the most beautiful country in … - Not only "Heidelberg newbies" learn a lot of facts about the city's history, which was told in a very entertaining way by Marius, the night watchman. Our heads were a little buzzing with so much history.
To our delight, we spontaneously sang the Baden song on our 3 km long tour :-)
Many thanks to Marius, who bravely led us through the rain and who now knows why I asked him his name ;-)

No show guide - We showed up… the guide did not.
A call would have been nice.
We waited where we were told. I messaged Viator and guide.
Please refund.
