Hi Peter, Quick question about Heidelberg Castle - did you go on a (English) guided tour of interior? If so, did you book in advance and how? I see on the Castle website that they list times and prices for the interior tour, but can't see anywhere to purchase online?? Thanks in advance for your advice, Kay.
Can you take pictures on the guided tour? Where can I find pictures of the interior to help me decide whether I want to wait until 11:15 to take an English tour?

When we took the tour in June there were no pictures allowed inside
Can I buy a tour ticket to the Heidelberg Castle on the day we want to go or do I need to by it in advance somehow?
