We had a wonderful time walking through old Frankfurt with our guide Georg. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would strongly recommend the tour!
Juan was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He also was very personable. He is a very nice guy. I would recommend him to anyone.
Lovely tour around Frankfurt with a cruise on the Main River Our guide was lovely and had so much history of Frankfurt to share.
Heidi provided an informative and enjoyable tour through town. We enjoyed our time with her and the many insights into the history of Frankfurt. One of our best guides we’ve had.
We did this tour to keep us awake while we recovered from jet lag and it was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personalized the tour for the kids, even making sure to fit in stops for treats.
the tour included a two-hour private walking tour and a one-hour river cruise. The guide Jorge was extremely knowledgeable and a fun guide. Jorge covered all the key stops in the old town center, and the New-old town" center, while going into the history of Frankfurt. he was very engaging and really knew his stuff. but there was a lot to cover in a two-hour tour, and it felt rushed at the end. The river cruise was well planned out and very relaxing. overall, this was a very great (and pricey) tour combination
We had a wonderful tour with Gabi. Perfect to get a good feel for Frankfurt and Gabi gave us great insights into much of the city’s history. After 2 hours, we felt comfortable wandering through town knowing where we were going. She also pointed out lots of places to check out over our next few days here. We highly recommend!
Learn the history of Old New Town with a pleasant guide. As well as suggestions on things to see and do, where to eat and drink.
Claudio was very informative on the financial history of Frankfurt. We toured all the significant spots and enjoyed learning more about the culture.
Our guide, Brigitte, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The walking tour was the right speed, and there was also time to stop for some water. The cruise was nice, although a bit short. Lots of food and drink available on the cruise.
Too many to choose. Georg was incredible! Knowledgeable, engaging, humorous. One of the best guides I’ve had with Viator!! Thank you
Great city tour and Barbara was fantastic and so helpful. She was very kind when we wanted to pop in to a shop. She also helped communicate for me when we stopped in to an art show and I found an artist I liked. We enjoyed our time with her very much and learned quite a bit about Frankfurt.
I would definitely recommend this tour my wife and I learned so much about the history of Frankfurt our guide was knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions Thanks for a Great experience
This is a nice activity for first time visitors to this city. The old town and river side are great. We enjoyed.
Our tour guide was really good. He did the best job he could with the material. We learned Frankfurt is just not interesting. There are banks and a church. The river cruise part was a huge waste of time. If my wife saw how much I paid for this tour she’d cry. It really was a waste of time.
Elena was an excellent guide. Her pace was excellent she offered so much historical knowledge and pictures to help us see the connection between history and the present. She spoke excellent English! Loved Elena. The boat ride portion was mediocre at best.
This was an excellent tour! Very informative. Our guide, George was fantastic! Friendly, respectful and very knowledgeable. I would definately recommend this tour for an overview of the historic part of Frankfurt
An excellent experience. Our private guide Gabriel was incredible. She possesed a wealth of knowledge about Frankfurt and came armed with a stack of historic photos and illustrations to bring context and interest to a three hour tour that zipped by. The river cruise was not as spectacular. A common slow, but short trek up and down the Main river with a recorded description of the sights. There are food and beverages available on board, but not enough crew to service everyone.
Very knowledgeable friendly guide. Andrea was gave us a wonderful tour around Frankfurt and was very excited to show us all the sites.
