Frankfurt Highlights English Walking Tour

Michael_B, Jul 2026

This was just what I had...

This was just what I had hoped for. I learned a lot about Frankfurt, saw a lot of sights I wouldn’t have seen on my own, and made some new friends. Anne is originally from SLC and spoke perfect English. She even sent us an email with additional places to visit during the remainder of our stay. This is a great way to start your trip in Frankfurt.

Heidelberg Castle and City Day Tour from Frankfurt

Michelle_M, Jun 2026

Great tour!

Our tour guide (Michael) did a fabulous job of providing lots of historical info, not only while touring Heidelberg Castle, but also all along the route there. It provided wonderful context for us. I would have enjoyed a bit more time in the old city of Heidelberg, but I knew when I booked the tour our time would be limited. Perhaps another time!

Excellent Romantic Road Tour

This was the highlight of our trip to Frankfurt going on the Romantic Road tour with Keiko. She was able to provide so much history and knowledge and we went to a local restaurant with her and a few others and the food was delicious. She was very friendly as well. Igor our driver was excellent and we felt very safe. I highly recommend this tour 🤩

Heidelberg to Rothenburg with Michael

We had an amazing experience with Michael booking Heidelberg city center and castle to Rothenburg. Michael provided a detailed review of the castle from decades past to current. Michael was an excellent driver and tour guide. He was professional, detailed, polite and we felt 100% very safe with him. I would encourage everyone to experience Heidelberg and Rothenburg with Michael being your guide. He also recommended a great restaurant for lunch, where we had delicious schnitzel.

Quality Tour with a Professional Guide

This is a good tour. Maik is friendly, knowledgeable (you won't believe the history lesson you'll get), and flexible. He was very accommodating to our special needs, and made our day quite enjoyable. My only caution to a prospective client is to understand that, in spite of the title of the tour being "from Frankfurt", there is an additional charge involved if you choose to be picked up in Frankfurt. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

Guided Rothenburg Day Trip from Frankfurt

ALAN_M, Sep 2025

Awesome Day In Rothenburg!

4 of us in a Van to Rothenburg. Thomas was the guide. About 2 1/2 hours from Frankfurt. Spent 4 hours in Rothenburg. First 2 hours walking around with Thomas narrated. Also, a visit to a Medieval Museum. Probably 20 minutes of the 2 hours. Then 2 hours on our own. Lunch took about an hour at an Italian Restaurant to eat Pizza. Then an hour to walk around and take pictures and window shop. Thomas was gracious enough as we were leaving town to take us to an area of the town wall that we could spend about 15 minutes to climb the steep steps and walk a couple of minutes along the covered walkway atop the wall. Highly recommend this part of the trip. So, after approximately 4 hours and 15-20 minutes in Rothenburg we headed back to Frankfurt . The trip back to Frankfurt was slightly over 2 hours instead of 2 1/2 hours going mainly because Thomas did not have to narrate as much and also a faster trip on the Auto Bahn and less traffic. In the end an outstanding day and way to see Rothenburg when you are seeing a city a day on vacation. Finally, Thomas our guide was exceptional!

Rhine Valley Wine Tasting Tour from Frankfurt and Mainz

Laurie_S, Aug 2025

Wine tour extravaganza!

This was a tour to be remembered. Carl picked us up in our own private transportation and welcomed us with some Brut to begin our journey. We headed to 3 different wineries to sample all the different types of wine produced in the Rhine Region. Carl was a wine expert and was wonderful in explaining all the different type of wine we sampled. I never knew so many different wines were produced in the is region. We had ample time to take many pictures of this beautiful region. This tour was well worth the price and I will plan on doing it again the next time I travel to Germany!
