In my last review, I said Manfred is the friend who makes Heidelberg feel like home. After another incredible tour in Strasbourg and Riquewihr, I realized—Manfred isn’t just the friend who makes a city feel like home; he’s the reason a city is worth staying for.
I came to Germany for business, with no plans for sightseeing. As a pregnant mom with a three-year-old and a two-year-old waiting for me, all I wanted was to finish work and get home. When Manfred first reached out, he messaged videos and background info on the places we’d visit. Honestly, I wasn’t interested in anything except my return flight—but his welcoming and enthusiasm were undeniable, the warmth came through instantly.
After my first tour with him, everything changed. I told my assistant to scrap my plan to leave early—Manfred made me want to stay. And when our tours ended, I thought about rescheduling to an earlier flight again, but then he suggested Strasbourg and Riquewihr. That was all it took—I stayed, and I’m so glad I did.
Long story short: I came for business, but thanks to Manfred, I left with memories I’ll cherish forever. If you get the chance to tour with Manfred, take it—you won’t just see a city, you’ll experience it in a way you’ll never forget.

Okay, where do I begin? Besides the usual—he’s punctual, attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented—Manfred is so much more than that.
True to his tagline, he really is a friend in Heidelberg—not just to his clients but to everyone in the city! His charisma and genuine nature make him friends with local shop owners, store workers, and even strangers in cafés. When you’re with Manfred, you don’t just visit Heidelberg; you feel like part of the community.
Instead of simply enjoying Germany’s famous beer, sausages, old towns, castles, and churches, Manfred gives you an experience of what it’s like to truly live in Germany—becoming part of the Heidelberg community, befriending locals, and eating what they eat every day.
Manfred takes the time to get to know his clients and tailors every experience to them, rather than just taking them to the usual touristy spots. Traveling with Manfred feels like a treasure hunt. Depending on what “treasures” you’re looking for—whether it’s shopping for local cooking ingredients to take home, purchasing specific supplements for a family member, breaking the stereotype that “Germans eat sausages every day,” or finding the spots that inspired The Ring of the Nibelung and The Völsunga Saga—Manfred is the perfect guide to embark on those missions with you.
I’ve met many excellent guides, but if you’re looking for more than just a checklist of the “top ten places to visit in Heidelberg,” Manfred is the friend who will show you the city as if you’ve lived there.

Manfred picked us up from our River Cruise and got us back in time. He took us to Heidelberg and showed us all the highlights we wanted to see along with other info that only a local can give. Great service for a family or a couple.

Manfred was an outstanding tour guide who truly did feel like a friend, from before we even met with his helpful and funny communications to the last minute of the tour when he made sure we boarded the right train back to Frankfurt. He is so knowledgeable about history, literature, architecture, pop culture, current events - and so interested in his guests and making them at ease as well! Heidelberg was magical to me- like a fairytale, as everyone says- and our favorite was the Schloss but all of our stops for the day we spent with Manfred were terrific. Manfred does a great job curating sights based on detailed questions he asks in advance- for example, we wanted to stop at a smaller artisan Christmas market and he took us to the most enchanting little village and market that we never would have known about. We enjoyed every minute of our day with him and were comfortable and warm the whole time too! I cannot recommend him enough. Spend a day with Manfred and you too will have a friend in Heidelberg!

Our day with Manfred was perfect! Prior to the trip, he helped my husband and I plan an outing that included highlights of the Black Forest and the Christmas Market at Baden Baden. Manfred even included links to videos and other info that would help us enjoy our time in Heidelberg prior to and after our time with him. When the day for our tour arrived, he picked us up in Heidelberg in his comfortable and spotless car and drove us to Lake Mummelsee. The visibility was not right for the hike we had planned, but Manfred quickly pivoted to take us on a gentle hike around Lake Mummelsee which was so picturesque with the snow & ice on the trees. We enjoyed some hot cocoa after the hike and then Manfred took us to a shop so that we could purchase a cuckoo clock at a discounted price. We had lunch at an an amazing restaurant where we sampled Black Forest specialties (including black forest cake)! The Christmas Market at Baden-Baden was amazing and it was nice to be able to enjoy gluhwein knowing that Manfred would get us back safely to Heidelberg!

Do not delay booking Manfred! He is Germany’s best kept secret, but not for long. Manfred’s knowledge and love of his homeland is comprehensive and contagious. He joyfully catered to our needs and interests, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for us. You’ll come away with many magical memories and a friend for life.
We originally booked him for a one-day trip to Heidelberg, his hometown, and were so blown away by the comfort and ease that we experienced that we tried to book more days, but he was not available. By a stroke of luck, another group cancelled at the last minute, and we were able to add another day with him touring Germany’s oldest city, Trier. If we’d been able to book him for our entire trip, we would have done so. Can't wait until next time to create another great experience with Manfred!

We had an amazing day with our friend in Heidelberg. We were heading from Heidelberg to Frankfurt and asked Manfred to design a day trip to see some lovely villages and castles. It is not an overstatement to say that the day was magical. I had fractured my knee and the day was arranged to ensure that there was not too much walking or steps. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation which was perfect given my injury.
The weather was perfect being frozen and only small amounts of snow. Whilst driving through hills the scenery was spectacular and Manfred ensured that we had lots of opportunities to take photos. Auerbach Castle was a real highlight.
Manfred is very knowledgeable and personable. We would highly recommend spending a day with a friend in Heidelberg.

I brought a small group of travelers to the German Christmas Markets which included Heidelberg and hired Manfred to give us a personalized tour.From start to finish, he was a wealth of knowledge—and not the dry, boring kind. Manfred made everything come alive with fascinating stories and fun explanations that kept us all engaged and entertained. He didn’t just point to landmarks and rattle off facts; he truly brought the culture to life. My clients all said how happy they were to have had him as our tour guide.
On top of being an awesome guide, he went above and beyond for us. Even though he had a family celebration to get to, which I knew of in advance, he offered to stay a little longer just to make sure we had the best experience possible. Now that’s commitment! From our time walking at the castle, to the look out point over the city, to stopping at a local cafe, everything was fabulous.
The Dandelion Journals will definitely be booking with Manfred again—he made the tour unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him enough!

Manfred is absolutely a GREAT guide, as well as a dependable and punctual communicator, and an all around nice guy. His reviews are very representative of the calibre guide (and friend!) he is, so we would absolutely recommend him with no hesitation. You won't be disappointed!!

We had a wonderful day trip with Manfred. Frankfurt pickup to Heppenheim, Weinheim, and most of the day in Heidelberg. He tailored the day to our wishes.
He was very personable, a great and safe driver, with a clean and very comfortable car.
We had a good mix of riding in the car, stopping to walk around and explore, finding special places, making sure we have something to eat, and hydrated, and always adjusting as we might request.
He knows everything about Heidelberg with a good mix of history and current culture for our day. It felt like walking around Heidelberg with a friend.Even gave us recommendations for a day trip to Rothenberg
We scheduled our day with Manfred because 6 years ago he provided an enjoyable tour for one of our sons and his now wife.
Highly recommended!

Our group of 8 travelers arrives in Speyer on Monday, July 15 via a Viking cruise ship. We are seeking a private tour that includes old town, castle, etc for 4-6 hours, including a lunch stop. Do you have access to a larger vehicle? If not, could you please recommend other options? Your reviews are excellent and you’re our first choice!
Thank you,
