Frankfurt Essentials: Must-See English Walking Tour & Stories
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.

Wonderful experience with our tour guide Hannes. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and informative. I learned so much about Frankfurt and discovered many places I wouldn't have found on my own. Highly recommend!

It was a great tour. Very insightful guide and a good pace. Handled the cold weather well and the pivot for Sunday closures at the cathedral.

Great 3 hours of an overview of frankfurt. Very informative and interesting. Small group size also made it very efficient

My husband and I enjoyed the 3 hour tour of Frankfurt with Jennifer. Despite the cold, we learned a lot and Jennifer checked on our comfort level and welcomed questions. I especially enjoyed the indoor market and we went back there for lunch after the tour ended. If you’re looking for a concise and informative tour, I recommend it.

Guessing the tour would've been great. Site needs to correct the map pointer to match the address that prints on a separate page. Was early waiting at the location shown on the map, then looked at another page of the printout and realized I was a block away. Missed the tour. Was rainy/snowy so ended up going on the HoponHopoff bus/boat combo.

This walking tour was AMAZING. I was lucky enough to have Hannes as my tour guide for this experience and once I found out he studied history at university, I knew I was going to enjoy the tour. Frankfurt in January can be quite cold, so I ended up being the only person on the tour which made it that much more personal and gave me the ability to ask as many questions as possible. The time flew by as we visited some of the more well known (and some lesser-known) spots of Frankfurt, and it made me realize how beautiful the city is. Hannes had photos to accompany all of the stops so I could learn even more, and when he found out I was also learning to speak German, he switched into German a time or two and let me ask a lot of questions about the language as well. I could not recommend this tour enough for families, couples, or solo. It honestly was the highlight of my trip to Frankfurt.

Our guide, Hannes, was awesome. He provided such a diverse amount of history, I was surprised at how far back the history is for Frankfurt, with references to Roman times! He also provided advice about places to visit (free and otherwise), and foods/drinks to have while visiting. There were frequent stops along the walk and it was manageable. There are a number of intermittent steps, however I imagine Hannes would accommodate those who would be unable to use the steps (wasn’t necessary during our tour). Honestly learnt so much about Frankfurt, probably one of our favourite tours across Europe so far!
