Great way to get acquainted with Frankfurt - Our guide was Phillip. He was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. He took the group (about 10 people, a combination of solo travellers and couples) to a good range of places, some typical tourist spots like the reconstructed old town but also some places where fewer tourists go like the Jewish cemetery and the Carmelite Cloister. This was a great way to get acquainted with Frankfurt, definitely time well spent, and fantastic value for money.

Take this tour to see Frankfurt - Superb tour, outstanding guide, lots to learn about Frankfurt. The guide spoke excellent English. He took us to some places in Frankfurt that were completely rebuilt since WW2, faithful reproductions, as well as a few places that survived the War bombing. We also walked through Cloisters, and spent some time in the former Jewish Ghetto. All in all, a great introduction to the city.
