“On a Monday evening in November we found ourselves the only 2 customers. We were welcomed by Oskar and given instruction, and we quickly learned how to control the Segways. In no time we were off on a tour of the town, the path high above the river, and interesting locations that would have taken some time to walk to. Oskar was an exceptionally good guide, and very friendly. We will certainly be going on Segway tours again in the future. Rgds, Andy”

“Annette und Siegfried waren zwei wunderbar sympathische Reisebegleiter mit Herz und Leidenschaft für Sightseeing und Schlösser. Sehr informativ, sehenswert und definitiv jeden Cent wert. Absolute Empfehlung! Als kleiner Tipp für diejenigen, die (wie ich) zum ersten Mal nach Heidelberg reisen: Parken am besten im Parkhaus am Karlsplatz. Parkplätze sind nämlich eine kleine Rarität - wie es dieses Schmuckstück von Reiseerlebnis ist. :)”
