School Classes
An interesting and educational day in Heidelberg
We can offer you a full program at an advantageous price, from arrival to departure. The class excursion consists of three modules:
- I. The Heidelberg castle and a history quiz
- II. The Old Town
- III. A riverboat trip on the Neckar
Of course, your school class can also visit the castle ruins only, without the Old Town or the boat trip.
I. The Heidelberg castle
Make history appealing to your pupils with an audio tour! Our modern guided tour presents 20 of the most interesting sights in roughly ninety minutes.
Sound effects, poems and numerous sagas make the tour come alive. Experience shows that students like to explore the castle with the audio guides independently or in groups.
Together with our audio tour, we offer a history quiz (English, German, French). It's an interesting and instructive game. (Please bring writing material!)
