Frankfurt Highlights English Walking Tour
Description
We are the #1 tour in Frankfurt for many reasons, but mainly our passion and desire to make your visit here memorable. We want you to wish you had more time in Frankfurt! Our professional, English-speaking guides tell you unique stories while showing you this historic and beautiful city. We believe the only way to see Frankfurt is on foot where you can enter buildings and see where history was made. We show you places the tour buses can't. The list of our stops is not in any particular order and may vary a bit due to events in the city or holidays. If one site is closed (like on Sundays), we may add another special site. It is an easy 3 hour walk, with comfort breaks, snack break, and is stroller and wheelchair friendly. Private tours & group tours available by request when you visit our website, where you can also book our Daily Tour. We answer emails promptly.

Justin was extremely knowledgeable and you could tell he truly enjoyed giving tours. Something to consider when booking is that tour groups are not allowed in churches on Sunday’s.
I booked the tour to explore the city during a 15 hr layover in Frankfurt. Our custom process took longer than anticipated. I reached out to our tour guide Anne to give her our ETA. She was so kind and helpful. She let me know that she would give me her location via WhatsApp so I would be able to join the tour when we were out of the airport. She was so attentive she kept me up to date of her location as they moved around. Im so grateful because we would have miss out on the tour without her help. Once we joined we were immersed with Frankfurt history. Anne was very personable she was concerned about the intense heat that she made sure we had water and bathroom breaks. She was also so knowledgeable. I learned so much about Germany during our tour. Thank you Amne! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.
Sehr informativ mit professionellem Guide
Great details shared about the historical significance of Frankfurt. A must do activity if you want to know more about this city in Germany. The walking is not too strenuous but you are on your feet the entire tour so comfy shoes are a good idea.
Lovely stroll around old frankfurt with Miss Anne. Enjoyed her storytelling way during the tour.
Totally enjoyable time, very informative with a dash of humour. Jennifer added so much of her personality into the tour ❤️
Our tour guide Jennifer was absolutely fantastic. She speaks perfect English and is a pleasure to listen to. She is an expert on history and told us several wonderful stories about the different things that she showed us along the way. It was the best walking tour that I have ever taken. Many thanks Jennifer.
