Dave was a great guide - Dave was a fantastic guide (even for someone from Columbus Ohio). Probably the most I've ever laughed on a tour. The tour was about 4 hours and I'm happy with what we got to see. I wish I would've done it on Tuesday so I could've stopped at some of the museums we walked by afterwards. Overall, highly recommed

Frankfurt on Foot is a great tour. - We were 3 people (3 generations) ages 9-71. Met our guide Jennifer after overnight flight from US. Meeting point is easy to find. Small group of 8. The walking pace is easy but covers a lot of area. A very good orientation . We later returned to a restaurant, mall and market that we saw on the tour. Jennifer was knowledgeable and had historical pictures of some of the buildings so we could see before and after. It was time well spent and I would recommend it to everyone.

Tour is Fabulous and Hayden is amazing! - Definitely join this tour! It is a must see. I went on a tour on Easter Sunday at the end of a 2 week holiday to France. I am flying out of Frankfurt. I found Frankfurt on Foot and it was an unexpected highlight of my trip. Our tour guide, Hayden, was amazing. The walk was easy - almost anyone can do it. Hayden is a history scholar and knew so much and was never boring. I only wish I had more time for another tour with him. (The only tour that was comparable was a private tour in Normandy that cost $600 for the day!) Ask for Hayden if you can. You won’t regret it! :)
P.S. No, I am not related to Hayden and never met him before today! :)

Informative Fun - Entertainment, delightful and informative! Dave, or should I use your alias John, was great. The historical information along with his personal experiences brought the city to life. We enjoyed having an international group and the conversations among the participants was wonderful. When you are in Franfurt, Frankfurt on Foot is a must.

I'm so glad we went on this tour... - Excellent tour. Jo, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. I'm glad we chose this tour instead of the Hop On Hop Off bus tour as a lot of the interesting sites are in places vehicles can not go. Also, having someone answer our questions along the way is always valuable.
Easy walking, our tour was 4 hrs, including a lunch break.
