We had an incredible couple of days with Florian! We travelled from Canada ???????? and had never been to Germany. He made our experience stress-free and so fun!! He picked us up at the airport, took us for an authentic German supper at a local restaurant in Frankfurt and then we did an evening guided tour of the city. The next two days were full of the Rhein Valley and Mosel Valley. Small quaint villages, wine, food and history! Florian is intelligent, funny and kind. We couldn’t have asked for more. His English is impeccable and in fact he speaks several languages fluently. We saw more in the few days we had with him than we could have ever imagined! 5 Stars all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You will never regret your choice to book with Florian! We can’t wait to visit Germany again one day!

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

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.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Soda/Pop, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Travel exceeding the mileage allotment of 20 kilometers per hour will be charged with 1.00 € per kilometer.

If you want to visit the homeland of your ancestors, Manfred Pitz is the man for the job! We were in Germany in April 2019 while on a Viking river cruise. While others in our group visited Heidelberg, my husband and I hired Manfred to take us to the Palatinate to see the town where my great-great grandparents lived before moving to the US. Manfred was able to locate the minister of the church were my ancestors were married, and we were able to tour the church, which normally is locked on weekdays. He contacted distant relatives who operate a restaurant that carries my family name, and arranged for a private lunch for us. My distant relatives do not speak or read English, and Manfred served as translator throughout our visit. (Manfred has lived and worked in the United States, and his English skills are excellent.) Thanks to Manfred, our visit was the most memorable part of our vacation. The name of his company, "A Friend in Heidelberg" says it all. He is more than a chauffeur. He is more than a tour guide. He is the consummate professional and a dear and true friend.

Thanks to the Internet genealogical research has become way easier. Nowadays you have an unparalleled opportunity to trace your roots to a certain town and to explore where your ancestors originated. You might even get lucky and meet some distant relatives. If your ancestors are from Germany, I am here to help you explore the places and points of interest related to your ancestors. Actually, a lot of Germans who emigrated came from the region I serve as a driver guide or better your "concierge on wheels". I am located in the renowned historic city of Heidelberg and my primarily geographical area of operations stretches from Frankfurt in the north, Stuttgart and Strasbourg in the south, Saarbrucken and Kaiserslautern, known as "K-town" by US army personnel, in the west and Würzburg and Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the east. 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. 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. In contrast to the famous movie "Back to the Future", I cannot serve with a DeLorean with a built-in time machine, but offer a fully equipped first-class Mercedes S-Class limousine for travels back to one’s past.

Discover Mainz in a relaxed way by electric bike! When you visit Johannes Gutenberg's home, you cannot miss a city tour. On this extraordinary bike tour you cycle alongside a real "local" through the city of the "Mainzelmännchen" and find out why the city bears this nickname. See the most beautiful sights and get a quick overview of Mainz. Cycle along the Rhine in the direction of Mainz Cathedral and St. Stephen's Church, which is best known for its blue stained glass windows, which are unique in Germany and designed by Marc Chagall. Then on to the southern outskirts of Jakobsberg, where the citadel has been guarding the old town of Mainz for more than 300 years. After a relaxed ascent with the e-bikes, you will not only be rewarded with a great view of Mainz, but also with one of the largest green areas in the city. Take a deep breath and relax! There is of course enough time for photos during the tour.

I was disappointed that despite booing this Tour, I received last minute notice that it had been cancelled due to rain. They did not mention this possibility when I booked it. If they had I would have checked the weather before, and booked something else. As it happened, this left a hole in my schedule that I could not5 fill at the last minute.

Mini hot rods are THE hype in Germany and have taken cities like Hamburg, Frankfurt or Berlin by storm within a very short time. They inspire and provide astonished looks wherever they appear, which also makes them the perfect advertising space for companies. Tourists queue up to experience the sights of Mainz on one of the most unusual city tours. And many Mainz residents have already succumbed to the HOTROD virus. The small, white cars (Mini Hot Rod) are also happy to be booked for company events, birthdays or hen parties and bachelor parties. One of the best activities in Germany now with us in Mainz.

Dear Judith, thanks for your continued high quality tours. I haven't come across anyone in Mainz you can convey art historical facts as entertaining as well as academically ambitious like you. Your ability to speak English is that of a native speaker. Whenever I return to Mainz I'm looking forword to book you as our guide again. Uli (Art Pursuits Abroad, part of Arena Travel)
