  Felix our tour guide was awesome, his knowledge was most insightful as we toured the city , we discussed many topics on the history of Heidelberg and abroad, our 2 1/2 hour tour turned into 3, highly recommend this for quick overview of the city without taking up the whole day

• 5Insightful Bike Tour

  We would highly recommend this experience. It was such a wonderful way to gain a greater understanding about the history of Heidelberg and, going forward, the innovative ways that it is trying to adapt to the pressures of a growing population. Being able to cycle from the suburbs along cycle paths into the Old Town and back, gave us an insight into how the locals get around. The ride was easy on comfortable bikes, with regular stops for commentary. With thanks to Felix, we came away with a greater understanding of the history of, and life in Heidelberg.

• 5The Perfect Way to See Heidelberg by Bike!

  What a fantastic way to experience Heidelberg! We absolutely loved this bike tour. It was such a fun and enjoyable way to explore different parts of the city, see areas we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and learn so much along the way. Our host was amazing … incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and engaging, and really made the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Heidelberg and a brilliant way to see the city. Highly recommend!

• 5This is a really nice...

  This is a really nice tour of Heidelberg with a bike ride that is perfectly suitable for people who just ride bikes casually without being pro cyclists. 😉 My husband and I pretty much just ride bikes on vacation and it was just fine for us. The tour guide (I believe this name is Felix) is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and he was very patient with all the questions from our small tour group. ☺️ The bikes are nice and well-maintained and they also have a bathroom at their headquarters/meeting point, which was helpful for me because we had already been walking around for a few hours before we started the tour. 😉 Highly recommend this tour!

• 510/10 Experience — One of the Best Ways to See Heidelberg!

  What an amazing experience! Our bike tour through Heidelberg was easily a 10/10 and one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was fantastic, friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. We rode through both historic Old Heidelberg and the more modern parts of the city, and he did an excellent job explaining the history, culture, landmarks, and how Heidelberg has changed over the years. The pace was perfect, the route was beautiful, and we felt like we were able to see and learn so much more of Heidelberg than we would have on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Heidelberg! We would absolutely do it again the next time we’re in the city. 🇩🇪🚲

About Heidelberg

Heidelberg is a university town on the Neckar in south-west Germany, with a ruined red-sandstone castle, an old stone bridge and a long main street.

Heidelberg sits where the Neckar leaves its wooded valley and enters the Rhine plain in Baden-Württemberg. The castle above the old town, built in red sandstone and left half ruined by French armies in the 1690s and a lightning strike in 1764, holds the Great Tun, a barrel that can hold over 200,000 litres of wine. The Old Bridge, with its twin-towered gate, crosses the river, and the Hauptstrasse runs for over a kilometre through the pedestrian old town.
