Anina Strothmann (tourist guide and owner)

The heart and soul of the agency. Together with her team, she looks after the well-being of her guests. Her charm, humor and in-depth knowledge give her tours an exquisite and individual flavor

„With Heidelherz I have fulfilled the dream of a lifetime. I warmly invite visitors to take a journey through the history of this wonderful city and see how history can come to life again. My motto: You can only make other people passionate about something if you are passionate yourself!

My prime concern is that my guests are happy and that they also feel good after their tour. Originally from the north of Germany, I lost my heart in Heidelberg many years ago. I very much hope that you will fall in love with Heidelberg too – it doesn’t have to be for ever...

If you have any questions - please don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!"

Susanne Späinghaus has been on the „Heidelberg stage“ for many years now. She loves giving her tours in historic costumes and delights her guests with her sparkling personality and vast knowledge of the history of the town.

“Making history become alive and interesting – where better to do this than in Heidelberg? I made this wonderful city my home over 20 years ago. I fell in love with it when I studied here. I look forward to showing you why people can loose their heart in Heidelberg. And I can do this in historic costume upon request!”

Anette Senn-Schmottlach captivates her audience with her natural charm and vivacity. She is excellent with children and takes them into a bygone era of knights and ladies-in-waiting.

"I didn’t fall in love in Heidelberg, but I did fall in love with Heidelberg! To quote the poet Heinrich Heine: ‚To see Heidelberg is wonderful, but even just thinking about it fills me with joy.‘ I would be delighted to take you on your own personal discovery tour.”

 

 

 

 

 Ricky AndersonRicky Anderson (tourist guide)

British Born but with Australia in my heart I found my way to Germany and began working as a tour guide and I love it! Heidelberg is impossible not to fall in love with, but don’t take my word for it, come and see for yourselves and allow me to show you around the jaw dropping Castle ruins high up above the picturesque old town below - it will capture not only your imagination but also your heart!"
