We had the buschig ourselves on a very cold day. It was a great way to get an overview of the city. I learned a lot and should have done this a long time ago. My guest really enjoyed it too.

The castle was amazing! I was a little skeptical as it states ruins but it is magical! The town is great too! Definitely a must see!

It works very well , the language is very easy to select and they show you the best of Frankfurt . Highly recommended.

Peter was a fantastic guide, and Heidelberg was everything I imagined it would be!

Good explanation of the points approached, comfortable seats
