I don't recommend this tour. The bus was fine on the way there, and our tour guide was funny while we were driving, but once we got to Heidelberg Castle, he was of little value other than corralling everyone to be on time. He told us very little and when I asked a few questions of things I remembered from my childhood I lived there for a few years as a child, he literally said it sounds like I already know the stories. We toured the Pharmacy on our own, but never got to see the inside of the castle! No direction that we were not going to be able to either. The bus broke down after we got to the town square so we had to walk up to the castle too many people to wait for the cable car. That was a really tough hike and it was really hot. They gave us sandwiches for the tour, which were disgusting, we didn't eat them. And to top it off, I wanted to get a water color of the castle to bring home, but there was no time after because we had to get to the bus. Which of course we stood waiting for for 30 minutes. Pretty sure I could've shopped in those 30 minutes. To me, this was a waste of time and money.
