    A Wonderful Time in Frankfurt

    We had a wonderful tour with Gabi. Perfect to get a good feel for Frankfurt and Gabi gave us great insights into much of the city’s history. After 2 hours, we felt comfortable wandering through town knowing where we were going. She also pointed out lots of places to check out over our next few days here. We highly recommend!

    Good experience when you have just a little time in Frankfurt.

    Louis_D, Sep 2024
    Our guide, Brigitte, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The walking tour was the right speed, and there was also time to stop for some water. The cruise was nice, although a bit short. Lots of food and drink available on the cruise.

    Amazing

    Melinda_W, Aug 2024

    Great tour of Frankfurt!

    Great city tour and Barbara was fantastic and so helpful. She was very kind when we wanted to pop in to a shop. She also helped communicate for me when we stopped in to an art show and I found an artist I liked. We enjoyed our time with her very much and learned quite a bit about Frankfurt.

    I would definitely recommend this tour my wife and I learned so much about the history of Frankfurt our guide was knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions Thanks for a Great experience

    First visit to Frankfurt.

    Julio_S, Aug 2023
    This is a nice activity for first time visitors to this city. The old town and river side are great. We enjoyed.

    Waste of time but the tour guide is very charismatic.

    Lucas_H, Jul 2023
    Our tour guide was really good. He did the best job he could with the material. We learned Frankfurt is just not interesting. There are banks and a church. The river cruise part was a huge waste of time. If my wife saw how much I paid for this tour she’d cry. It really was a waste of time.

    Elena was a great Frankfurt Gude

    Sheryl_T, Jun 2023
    Elena was an excellent guide. Her pace was excellent she offered so much historical knowledge and pictures to help us see the connection between history and the present. She spoke excellent English! Loved Elena. The boat ride portion was mediocre at best.

    Great overview of Frankfurt

    Go with the long walking tour, but lower your expectations for the cruise

    Barry_J, Aug 2022
    An excellent experience. Our private guide Gabriel was incredible. She possesed a wealth of knowledge about Frankfurt and came armed with a stack of historic photos and illustrations to bring context and interest to a three hour tour that zipped by. The river cruise was not as spectacular. A common slow, but short trek up and down the Main river with a recorded description of the sights. There are food and beverages available on board, but not enough crew to service everyone.
