It's been my pleasure & privilege to travel & live all over the world (teaching in Asia for 4 yrs, dog-mushing in Alaska). As a Traveller I always wanted to have authentic experiences to really connect with & feel into my new whereabouts. Now I offer my customers the same - alive & fresh tours where you truly engage & connect with this new part of the world. I choose only Hotels, Restaurants, Wineries or sites which I have personally enjoyed. So, you experience only the best places & attractions really worth seeing. I have a great love for Heidelberg and proudly say it is, "The most beautiful city in Germany". I also love to meet new people - what better way to spend time with new friends than strolling around Heidelberg's delightful old town, exploring it's famous castle or making a short tour to a local beauty spot. On the Heidelberg tours you can get acquainted with; - the special 'Old Town' - it's quaint streets and many old buildings - learn about the city's long history and destructive invasion by the French in 1693. - Find out about it's famous University, founded in 1386 - enjoy hearing the many stories and events that have shaped the city. - admire the main churches of the town and possibly even climb the tower of one to enjoy a panoramic view of the city. - the largest absinthe shop in the world with a tasting (optional!) - be inspired by the beauty and history of the Castle and it's expansive garden. - discover the best ice-cream in town! Or maybe you prefer; - to visit one of Europes most sumptuous and diverse gardens in Schwetzingen - to take a leisurely cycle tour away from the crowds through the green and serene local countryside. - or venture a bit further afield to the legendary Black Forest or explore the delights of Alsace, France, just one hour away. - have a wine tour in the German wine regions of The Pfalz, Hessische Bergstrasse, Baden or the amazing 180 km long 'Route du Vin' in Alsace, France. - or visit a top sporting occasion; Bundesliga Football at local Hoffenheim or ice-hockey at the Mannheim Eagles. I am very flexible and always willing to customize any tour for you that meets your individual requirements. I look forward to meeting you, giving you a tour to fondly remember and showing you why time spent in Heidelberg and the surrounding area is time very well spent. See you soon.

Our tour will begin in the centre of Heidelberg where we will pick up the bicycles. We will then leisurely cycle along the banks of the River Neckar and through the mode through the famously fertile Neuenheimer Fields(observe the amazing fruit and vegetables) before rejoining the River. We then continue along the River, perhaps seeing a stork or two, until we arrive at the deeply peaceful town of Ladenburg. Ladenburg is one of the oldest towns in Germany. Once it was an important Roman settlement, leaving it with an interesting selection of well preserved ruins. The market square, with it's 500 year old timber frame houses, is a good stop for refreshments. For the athletic we continue on another 10 km to the pretty town of Weinheim where another interesting old town and a wonderful Corsican restaurant awaits us. Half day or full day tours possible. All the cycling is on specially designated cycle paths and the cycling in the countryside is on rural cycle paths with no car traffic = maximum peace.
Collect rental bikes from the Bike Shop in the Centre of Town. Ride along excellent cycle paths away from the city into the peace and quiet of the beautiful surrounding countryside. After 45 mins arrive in the pretty town of Ladenberg - home to many Roman ruins and a quaint old town. Take a short walking tour of the Town. Enjoy a relaxing coffee in a nice local cafe. Return to Heidelberg.
