Manfred is indeed a friend. It was easy to forget that we were tourists when we were with him. He kindly asked about our wishes and needs before embarking on the journey, and tried to accommodate us in every possible way, keeping the itinerary flexible and making the ride pleasant.
I was traveling with my elderly mother who had difficulty walking due to a recent accident. Manfred was able to find the best way for her to see a little bit of everything.
We managed to get a taste of Black Forest, Baden Baden, and of course Manfred's hometown Heidelberg, without much walking.
Manfred is an excellent driver, very kind and easy to talk to. We had some interesting conversation along the way, and took a nice nap in his comfortable luxury car during a longer ride.
If you are looking for a friend in Heidelberg, Manfred is ready for you!
