We went on a "paddling tour" on the river Neckar with Ludger as our guide. Ludger is great guy, very professional, and a good focus on boating safety. We had an awesome trip - this tour is highly recommended! See Heidelberg from a very different perspective... The world famous castle, the "Old Bridge", even a beaver's "nest". Johannes PS: We went with our three young kids - all safety gear was provided by Ludger.

I had the best time with Ludger and he dedicated individual time to get to know eachother with each member. Learnt how to back and front paddle . I am definitely going back soon .

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Kayak Tour im Rahmen eines Junggesellinnenabschieds. Sehr zu empfehlen, auch oder besonders bei brütender Hitze ;) Ludger war ein super Guide und hat nebenher noch ein paar schöne Details über Heidelberg erzählt! (Translated by Google) We had a wonderful kayak tour as part of a hen party. Highly recommended, also or especially in the sweltering heat ;) Ludger was a great guide and also told a few nice details about Heidelberg!

Lovely experience! Very kind guide and beautiful landscapes. The best Saturday plan possible to enjoy the river. Thanks a lot!!

Excellent kayak tour with a competent guide! I took my school class on a kayak tour with this provider last week and it was a fantastic experience! Our guide Ludger was extremely knowledgeable and really looked after us well. From the start we felt safe and well prepared. The guide patiently explained the basics of kayaking to us and gave us helpful tips on how to improve our technique. During the tour, the guide always made sure that all students were safe and kept the group together. He gave clear instructions and ensured that no one was left behind. We felt well looked after and were able to fully concentrate on the experience. The kayak tour itself was breathtaking. We paddled on the Neckar, surrounded by impressive natural scenery. It was a great opportunity for the students to discover nature from a new perspective. All in all, this kayak tour was a complete success and I can highly recommend this provider. If you're looking for an outstanding kayak tour, look no further!

We had booked a morning tour with friends and children. It was really a special experience, we all had a lot of fun and the children were thrilled too. We were able to experience Heidelberg from a new perspective while our guide Ludger taught us a few things about kayaking. The tour was very well prepared and the coordination in advance was uncomplicated and friendly. Clear recommendation!

In May of this year (2023) I was on a school trip to Heidelberg with a colleague and our 10th grade class and I really wanted something on the program with physical activation. ;) During my research I quickly came across "Paddle Tours Heidelberg", which offers kayak tours on the Neckar that start directly in the city, which saved us another bus trip. Due to a bad experience with a canoe rental here in Ortenau, I initially had reservations about whether it would all work out. But Ludger Benighaus and his family really do a great job all around. I felt really looked after from the first phone call. We discussed exactly what we had in mind and Ludger was really flexible. The tour he planned for us was perfect for everyone involved. And the general conditions, such as information on how to get to the meeting point, checklist for a successful trip on the water, safety, etc. were top. Ludger asked several times before the appointment whether everything was clear or whether we had any further questions. On the day of the tour, he really responded to the students and everyone felt very comfortable and safe in their two-person kayaks. It was also great that Ludger's son helped us get started. So you felt even better looked after. An amazing team, the Benighaus family! :) Even our (almost) non-swimmer, after initial fear and a 1-on-1 introduction with Ludger, was so enthusiastic that at the end he wanted (and was allowed) to do another lap in the single-seater kayak. After that, his enthusiasm for moving on the water could no longer be contained. But at the end all the other students were also extremely enthusiastic about the beautiful tour and the different perspective of the city from the water - despite the occasional exertion caused by a strong headwind. :) I can only warmly recommend the Paddle Tours Heidelberg to everyone! Because even if you don't plan such an excursion with a class, but with private groups, the reliability and safety that is offered here, in addition to the great fun of the experience, is priceless! We would like to thank Ludger and his entire family for their great commitment! I have already informed our entire staff and will also advertise beyond the school, so we were certainly not the last group from Offenburg to contact you. Sunny greetings, Tina

If you are looking for a wonderful kayaking experience in Heidelberg then definitely go to Paddle Tours Heidelberg. Two years in a row I have used Paddle Tours for group events and Ludger has created a wonderful kayak tour for us. Communication with Ludger is easy and timely. He is kind and considerate of the needs of the kayakers. Everything you need for a wonderful day on the river in Heidelberg is provided by the company. I highly recommend Paddle Tours Heidelberg.

(Translated by Google) We were paddling with our 10-strong party together with Ludger. The planning was uncomplicated and pleasant. As we paddled, Ludger told us about the sights we passed and guided our group with great skill and enthusiasm for paddling! Then there were tips for nice restaurants around for us as non-locals... Super recommendable! (Original) Wir waren mit unserer 10 köpfigen Abteilung gemeinsam mit Ludger paddeln. Die Planung war unkompliziert und angenehm. Beim Paddeln erzählte uns Ludger etwas zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten an denen wir vorbeikamen und leitete unsere Gruppe mit sehr viel Geschick und Enthusiamus fürs Paddeln! Anschließend gab es für uns als Ortsfremde noch Tipps für schöne Restaurants drum herum… Super empfehlenswert!

Richtig tolle Erfahrung. Unser Guide Ludger hat sich unheimlich viel Mühe gegeben uns bereits im Vorfeld der Tour detailliert zum Ablauf abzuholen und hat alles super organisiert. Auch während der Tour haben wir uns super betreut gefühlt und hatten eine Menge Spaß, da Ludger sehr sympathisch und lustig ist! Neben der sportlichen Aktivität bekommt man Infos über Heidelberg erzählt und sitzt in echt bequemen Booten. Immer gerne wieder :-)

(Translated by Google) We booked the tour online as a family and it was absolutely great!

We had a really great time on the water. Very suitable for beginners. And thanks to Ludgar we were able to save ourselves the sight seeing tour on the ship, as that was also included...We will definitely repeat this on our next visit to Heidelberg. ...

This tour was a birthday gift. And honestly speaking it was amazing! Fantastic views of Heidelberg, high quality kayaks and of course Ludger - the great tour guide. Highly recommended!

That was really cool. Ludger is a super pleasant person and introduced us to paddling as beginners very well with his way. Heidelberg is simply a beautiful city and paddling on the Neckar was great fun. Definitely again!
