Taste of Frankfurt - Anne was wonderful! She was very attentive to our needs on what was a very hot day and made every effort to accommodate every member of the tour group. She was very knowledgeable of the city, and as a native English speaker was able to communicate nuances that are sometimes lost in translation. I highly recommend!

Great introduction to Frankfurt indeed! - We’ve been on a few walking tours and this was probably a good mix of everything: culture, history, architecture, anecdotes, local recommendations. Our guide Anne was hospitable and personable, attending to our questions. We liked her bubbliness and enthusiasm, which was felt in her town and storytelling. We got to understand the old town from a different perspective and learned about the history of the place, just enough to appreciate our next few days a little more. Thank you!

Great starter for first day in Frankfurt. - Anne was an amazing tour guide. It was during heat wave and she was conscientious about shade. Very informative with history from the Early Roman Empire through current including the sobering actions in Frankfurt during the Holocaust. It’s a full three hours and learned a lot. Enjoyed the time.

Wonderful - Jennifer was a great guide, very engaging and knowledgeable…and thankfully there wasn’t as much walking as I expected for a 3hr tour (insert Gilligan’s Island joke here)…Don’t get me wrong, there was plenty of walking, but it wasn’t bad at all…Definitely do this tour to start your trip, rather than doing it on your last day (like I did).

Unforgettable Frankfurt Tour Led by a True Pro - Justin is an outstanding tour guide in Frankfurt—truly incredibly knowledgeable and gifted. He brings the city's history to life by explaining events and landmarks on multiple levels: cultural, political, architectural, and social. Whether discussing Römer, the Alte Oper, the Main River, or the city’s role in European trade, Justin provides fascinating context, little-known anecdotes, and connections that make each stop meaningful. He’s an excellent storyteller who tailors his commentary to the group, mixing big-picture history with human stories and timely insights. His passion and professionalism shine through: punctual, organized, and attentive to guests’ interests and questions. He also makes navigating the city effortless by suggesting local cafés, transit tips, and hidden gems. Beyond his tour skills, Justin’s demeanor—warm, diplomatic, and articulate—suggests he’ll likely be an ambassador someday. I highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want an engaging, informative, and memorable experience of Frankfurt.
