What people are saying about Baden-Württemberg

We had a great time exploring Heidelberg even though it was freezing. It was cool to have some additional pieces of history provided as we tried to find different landmarks. Our brains weren’t functioning well in the cold and the riddles were frustrating at times but the app lets you skip that part if you want. Overall it was a fun way to see things that we would have probably missed.

Trip was fantastic. Commentary excellent - German, French and English. Comfortable seating with availability to food and drink. Would heartily recommend.

It is just another way of see this beautiful town. There is not a lot to be seeing I wish has like your guide but it is ok for the price.

Experiencing Heidelberg on the water was something else. It is a beautiful city with a fascinating history. Regulary.

This museum is state of the art and it has the weirdest illusions.
