Acerca de esta actividad

Saldremos de Fráncfort y pondremos dirección sudoeste hacia Heidelberg, en la región de Baden-Württemberg, a aproximadamente una hora de distancia. Lo más conocido de esta romántica ciudad tal vez sea el Castillo de Heidelberg, un amplio conjunto de ruinas que se eleva sobre el centro de época medieval. El castillo, al que los lugareños llaman el "Schloss", es el castillo de los cuentos por antonomasia con su arquitectura gótico-renacentista, amplios terrenos y unas vistas que le dejarán boquiabierto.
Diríjase al interior y explore las ruinas con su guía paseando por su enorme patio central y la terraza. Disfrute de las espectaculares vistas y, después, podrá admirar algunos de los objetos expuestos en el castillo, como una barrica de vino que se cree que es la más grande del mundo.
Después de la visita al castillo, bajaremos la colina y podremos estirar las piernas en un paseo por el casco antiguo para ver lugares de interés como el Puente Viejo, la puerta de Karlstor del siglo XVIII y la iglesia del Espíritu Santo. Escuche sobre la prestigiosa reputación de ciudad universitaria con la que cuenta Heidelberg y conozca la vida cotidiana de la ciudad mientras pasea. Cuando finalice la visita a pie, su guía podrá indicarle lugares para comer en la ciudad y podrá disfrutar de tiempo libre para almorzar (no incluido en el precio).
Suba de nuevo a bordo del autobús y viaje hacia el este hasta la ciudad de Rothenburg. La ruta, que sigue el curso del río Neckar, incluye un tramo de la famosa Carretera de los Castillos, antes de llegar a Rothenburg al final de la Ruta Romántica.
Considerada la ciudad medieval mejor conservada del país, Rothenburg es un festín para la vista con sus calles empedradas flanqueadas por casas con entramado de madera, todas bellamente rodeadas por las murallas de la ciudad antigua. Vea los lugares más destacados en el recorrido a pie y maravíllese con el hermoso escenario urbano además de atracciones renacentistas como el ayuntamiento y la Iglesia de San Jacobo. Diríjase al interior de este lugar de culto de 500 años de antigüedad para ver su principal atracción, el Altar de la Sagrada Sangre y reciba información de su creador, Riemenschneider (un aclamado tallista alemán).
Regresaremos al autobús donde podrá descansar en el viaje en dirección norte de vuelta a Fráncfort. La excursión termina en el punto de partida a primera hora de la tarde.

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.
