Heidelberg and Speyer are two of Germany's oldest cities. Their location near the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar Rivers has been the site of agricultural settlements since Neolithic Times, making this a truly ancient place! Learn more about the two cities and the surrounding region on a private Heidelberg tour with a knowledgeable local guide.

Heidelberg's historic centre is beautiful and easily walkable; strolling on foot is the best way to explore its Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture. In nearby Speyer, your guide will be sure you have ample time to explore the city's great Cathedral, and the picturesque Town Gate, once part of Speyer's medieval fortifications. The surrounding Neckar Valley is home to some of Germany's most romantic castles and riverside towns, such as Ladenburg and Weinheim.

Your guide is keen to customize a private Heidelberg tour that reflects exactly what you hope to see and do during your time in this enchanting part of Germany.

The Wonderful Gardens are one of the lesser known jewels of the area. The wonderful and expansive garden is an inspiration all year round.
