Humor and History in Frankfurt - Jennifer Holz was a fantastic Guide. She was fun, funny, entertaining and respectful and very knowledgeable. She answered our questions with lots of additional anecdotes and history, filling tour with interesting information and suggestions of things to do after the tour during stay here.

Great foundation to exploring - I had a 7 hour layover so decided to grab a tour and experience the history and culture of Frankfurt, The tour did not disappoint. The guide was very knowledgeable adding in history and stories to bring it to life. He used an ipad to show details of things he was talking about. We had a short about of down time to experience the local market and grab a drink, which was a nice experience.

This brought Frankfurt to life. - Jo gave us a really remarkable tour. She has lived in Frankfurt for 30 years and is clearly passionate about the place and generous with her knowledge and time. She checked in regularly to see how my elderly legs were handling the pace. A fount of knowledge about Frankfurt and its history and her enthusiasm is infectious. When we told people we were coming to Frankfurt some said ‘Why go there? It’s a boring banking city.’ It isn’t boring at all, and neither is its history. The recreation of destroyed old buildings is awe-inspiring.
