Frankfurt Historic City Walking Tour

We are the #1 tour in Frankfurt for many reasons, but mainly our passion and desire to make your visit here memorable. We want you to wish you had more time in Frankfurt! Our professional, English-speaking guides tell you unique stories while showing you this historic and beautiful city. We believe the only way to see Frankfurt is on foot where you can enter buildings and see where history was made. We show you places the tour buses can't. The list of our stops is not in any particular order and may vary a bit due to events in the city or holidays. If one site is closed (like on Sundays), we may add another special site.
It is an easy 3 hour walk, with comfort breaks, snack break, and is stroller and wheelchair friendly.
Private tours & group tours available by request when you visit our website, where you can also book our Daily Tour. We answer emails promptly.
