Heidelberg Trip Overview
The Palatinate region offers charming landscapes, hospitality and many sights. The right tour for people who want to be off the beaten track and who love the individual experience. Palatinate is also famous for its white “Riesling” wine and therefore a wine tasting in one of the many wineries is almost a must.
The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is “a friend in heidelberg”. Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice.
The stops mentioned under “Itinerary” are possible destinations of our tour. I am more than happy to compose an individual tour, which is based entirely on your preferences and wishes.
I was not only born in the famous historical city of Heidelberg and know the area extremely well, but also lived and worked in the US and hence speak fluent English. If you wish I can help you with the organization of your trip ahead of time.
You will be chauffeured in a Mercedes S-Class, virtually a private jet for the road, equipped with all state-of-the-art features.
