About me
Manfred Pitz – a Heidelberger “through and through”
Ever since I was young, I have wanted to see the world. I studied in the city of Mainz and later was transferred to the United States by my first employer. After living on the East and later on the West Coast for two years, I returned to Germany in my early thirties. I lived in Munich, Berlin, and Frankfurt before returning to my native town of Heidelberg in 2012.
Nevertheless, after twenty-five fulfilling and successful years as a manager, I felt more and more like a hamster in a wheel. Therefore, I decided to try something completely new and different at a professional level.
During an extended sabbatical I paused and listened to myself – and concluded that I passionately love three things most of all: taking care of people, organizing and planning, and driving cars.
The next step was to establish my boutique-style tour service “a friend in heidelberg”. Its aim is to deliver first-class, individualized service, with a personal touch, always placing the guest’s needs and wishes center stage.
