This tour begins where most Frankfurt experiences don't: in Mainz. We travel together by train into Frankfurt — round-trip tickets included — before continuing on foot through the city's old town. Most people fly into Frankfurt, see the skyline from a taxi, and think they've seen the city. They haven't. I take you into the Frankfurt that doesn't show up in guidebooks — the Kaisersaal, where portraits of 52 Holy Roman Emperors still line the walls, and I'll tell you which ones actually mattered. We'll stand in the Kleinmarkthalle, Frankfurt's indoor market that's fed the city through two world wars, and taste something that's been part of daily life here for generations. Then we walk to the Iron Bridge, where medieval faith and modern finance stare at each other across the river, and I'll explain why that view says more about Frankfurt than any monument in the city. This is a walking tour at heart — comfortable shoes are a must — built around someone who knows why these places matter.

Escape Frankfurt for a day—and immerse yourself in Germany’s top wine regions—on this luxurious, private tour. Depart in the morning from your local accommodation, and travel with your guide along the Rhine River. You'll enjoy an introduction to local varietals and winemaking traditions. You’ll also visit three highlight wineries, will take part in tastings and cellar tours, and will indulge in a cheese plate snack.
