Sobre esta atividade

Deixe Frankfurt e viaje sudoeste até Heidelberg na região norte de Baden-Württemberg - aproximadamente à uma hora de distância. A romântica cidade talvez seja mais bem conhecida pelo Castelo de Heidelberg, um vasto conjunto de ruínas que se erguem acima do centro medieval. Conhecido como "o Schloss" pelos habitantes locais, o castelo é uma fortaleza de conto de fadas por excelência com arquitetura estilo gótico-renascentista, terreno luxuoso e vistas de parar o coração.
Entre e explore as ruínas com o seu guia, caminhando pelo grande pátio e ao longo do terraço. Aproveite as paisagens deslumbrantes e, em seguida, admire alguns dos artefatos do castelo, como o barril de vinho de Heidelberg, que dizem ser o maior do mundo.
Depois da excursão pelo castelo, desça a colina, e estique as pernas em uma excursão a pé da cidade velha, vendo atrações como a Ponte Velha, o portão Karlstor do século 18 e a Igreja do Espírito Santo. Ouça sobre a reputação de prestígio da Heidelberg como uma cidade universitária, e aprenda sobre a vida do dia-a-dia na cidade conforme passeia. Conforme o passeio termina, converse com seu guia sobre lugares para comer na cidade, e desfrute de um tempo livre para o almoço (por sua conta).
Embarque novamente no ônibus com ar-condicionado e viaje para o leste até a cidade de Rothenburg. Seguindo os bancos para o rio Neckar, a rota inclui um trecho da famosa German Castle Road, antes de chegar a Rothenburg, no final da estrada romântica.
Muitas vezes considerada a cidade medieval mais bem preservada do país, Rothenburg é uma festa para os olhos com ruelas sinuosas alinhadas por casas de enxaimel, todas belamente cercadas por muralhas antigas. Veja suas melhores partes na excursão a pé, absorvendo o lindo cenário das ruas, bem como atrações principais, como a câmara municipal renascentista e a Igreja St Jacob. Entre no local de culto de 500 anos de idade para ver sua maior atração, o Santo Altar sangrento esculpido em madeira, e aprender sobre Riemenschneider (um aclamado entalhador alemão), que o criou.
Volte para o seu ônibus e relaxe na viagem de volta para Frankfurt. Sua excursão termina no ponto de partida, no início da noite.

The tour company did a poor job with managing this tour. There were not enough people signed up for this tour so it was not cost effective for the company. However, there were many people who signed up for the tour that just went to Rothenburg. The tour company decided to put us all on one shuttle bus and not tell the passengers of this problem prior to boarding. As a result the day was spent mostly in Rothenburg. Upon inquiring with the tour guide as to what time we would be getting to Heidelberg he said he would stop on the way back to Frankfurt. When we got to Heidelberg it was a surprise to the other passengers that the tour was stopping and they would not be back at the scheduled time which was a problem for some of the passengers. The tour guide responded that they should not schedule tours with a tight time schedule and they were getting second location for free. He walked us around the center of the town for maybe 20 minutes and since we insisted he drove us to the Heidelberg Castle grounds since by that time the castle had closed. We were there for maybe another 20 minutes before heading back to Frankfurt. We were not refunded any money despite our disappointment. Heidelberg seemed like a great place to spend time on a visit. Rothenberg was a neat town to visit because of its architecture and if you are a shopper you will not be disappointed. Overall the tour was simply not what was described and certainly the tour company should have told us prior to boarding that they did not have enough people register for this tour and lay out our options so we could make the decision on how to spend the day.

We booked this tour for 8 people, and were driven in a minivan that seated all 8 of us. The driver, George, was very knowledgeable and happy to share his knowledge. Heidelberg and Rothenburg were both great towns to visit and explore. My reasons for only giving this tour 3 stars: one day is not nearly enough time to see and enjoy both towns, although we had no idea how much time would actually be spent in the car when we booked this tour. We would have preferred to have more time in one town. We were literally hustled through Rothenburg on a quick walking tour, given 20 minutes of free time, hustled back to the van and handed a home-made sandwich of 1 slice of cheese, mayo and a pickle slice, and driven off to Heidelberg where we had slightly more time to wander than we did in Rothenburg. Again, too much distance to cover to really enjoy either town, and driving on the autobahn at speeds of up to 105 mph! I understand speeding is expected and excessive in Germany, however, that did not help to calm my fears from the back seat of a minivan! Would have much preferred to spend the day in Rothenburg, dwell on the sights, have a nice lunch and do some shopping. If you don't mind the hurried pace and only want to get a quick introduction to both towns, spending most of the day in the car on the highway, then this tour would be good for you. Otherwise, I would highly recommend choosing one town to visit per day.

Used ETS tours between 14 and 16 May 2017 Rothenburg and Hiedelberg trip driven by Peter. He was kind gentle and impressed with his knowledge of history and lots of trivia about Germany. They provide sandwiches and water enroute. Since we went on a Sunday, we escaped the heavy traffic of trucks. Rothenburg was beautiful during late spring. It was drizzling in Hiedelberg and it was wonderful. The next trip on 16 to Baden Baden, Black Forest and Strasbourg by the duo of Michael and another (not getting their names after a month) we're the impressive Germans who made us laugh with the dry sense of humor and wit. They threw lots of nice facts about German industries, culture, history and made the tour lively.Office opposite Savoy hotel is not impressive but the coach drivers and guides are very hospitable and warm.

Out tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable, and the tour hit a lot of good sights in the area. I very much enjoyed walking the castles grounds as well as walking in town. It's a good length just to get a taste of the town, but it can be a little fast paced for some.
