Henry put together the perfect bike excursion for our family. My wife, my young teenage daughter and I followed Henry on a day-long trip out of Heidelberg, along the... read more Neckar river, through the countryside, visiting Roman historic sites (eg, site of the first Roman bridge). We bought and ate fresh strawberries and blueberries from nearby farms and had a scrumptious noon meal at a restaurant in Ladenburg. On our return to Heidelberg, Henry took us on a different path through micro farms. The home of Carl Benz and more. The best part, though, was Henry himself. He has a kind, warm and uplifting spirit, which we got to enjoy the whole day. Being with him was a real pleasure and we recommend him very highly.

  My husband and I were traveling to the Black Forest area for the first time and didn't know where to start or what all to see. I contacted Henry... read more and he created an itinerary for us based on my very basic input. The day was well structured with some beautiful hiking through the forest in the morning, a traditional local lunch, more sweeping mountaintop hiking, and a stop at a local black forest village and winery for a tasting. Henry is a history aficionado and knew so many facts about the area and where we had stayed beforehand (Baden-Baden), and was an incredibly thoughtful guide and host for the day. We've been on several day tours on other vacations, but this was by far the best and served as a very memorable experience for our first time in Germany. I cannot recommend Henry's services enough!
