As a frequent visitor to Frankfurt, I am convinced that this city offers more than just skyscrapers…read moreand business buzz--it's a city of contrasts waiting to be explored. The tour took us beyond the usual sights, weaving through iconic landmarks like Römerberg, Frankfurt Cathedral, and Carmelite Monastery, while also brushing past modern hubs like MyZeil and Hauptbahnhof. What sets it apart is the personal touch: hidden alleys, local eateries, and stories that reveal the city's layered soul. From the Iron Bridge to Goethe-Haus and Alte Oper, the tour dives deep into Frankfurt's heritage. Whether you're drawn to history, architecture, or global flavors--like the Middle Eastern dishes at Ya Medina or South Indian fare at Saravanaa Bhavan--you'll leave with a richer connection to the city. Known as "Mainhattan" for its skyline and river setting, Frankfurt blends tradition with innovation, making it ideal for short stays, cultural breaks, and day trips. A city of trade, tales, and timeless charm.

I wanted to find an informative walking tour of Frankfurt during a recent visit & found Frankfurt…read moreOn Foot through Yelp. Thank you fellow Yelpers! I read the glowing reviews of the tour guide Dave & was looking forward to meeting him. Upon arrival, Dave was collecting payment (17€) and was answering questions. I told him that I read that he was retired American military & was living in Frankfurt. I asked him how he ended up in Frankfurt & he answered that he followed his love (now his wife). I love cute love stories. Our tour was led by Angeliki, a guide who is specialized in archaeology. She was very knowledgeable & sweet lady. Our tour included architecture details & history of many buildings, a bathroom break & lunch at an inside market that had sandwiches, pastries & a famous lady who makes beef & pork sausages & also makes her own mustard. I had a pork sausage sandwich with mustard. Simple & tasty. I walked around with another fellow traveler & we had post lunch pastries before meeting up with our group. Our tour ended at the burial site of Anne Frank & her family. It was somber but very emotional & moving. Thank you Frankfurt On Foot for an informative & educational tour, which was interesting & enjoyable despite the rain & snow.

Several touring options to meet your interest and time. Pass good for 24 hours. Tip: Buy online for a discount or buy the Frankfurt Card to obtain discount as well. I chose the Skyline tour, which offered an extended route. The only concern I experienced with this option was exact Travel times were not listed and I traveled the original route twice, unexpectedly. Similar tours in other areas offer the same kind of service. The canopy on the 2nd floor is open in favorable weather. The top floor offers excellent unobstructed views as well

Make sure to pay for the 2nd tier ticket as there are more stops (both routes). The top tier ticket also includes the river boat ride. We didn't get that one as we were tight on time. We hopped on from Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbanhof, the main train station and hub of the city. Exit the main doors and the bus stop is located on the other side of the parking lot. The buses were clean and well maintained. We loved sitting upstairs of the open air 2-level buses. Each ticket includes earbuds for the audio session of the tour. Each seat also includes a headphone jack and you can choose your language. This is such a fun non stressful way to check out the city. Totally recommended!! Tip: There is a museum pass that includes the Palmgarten & History museums. Check at the box office of the museums.

I was the only one on the tour that didn't speak German, but the guide was great and accommodated me very well. He had me sit next to him and explained everything in German first, but then came back and translated a shortened version for me. This was not really a behind the scenes tour, but we went out next to some of the runways and saw a few planes take off and land, as well as driving very close to some big parked planes (A380, 747 Intercontinental). The guide was very knowledgable and knew what every model of plane was and usually where that plane was going. He was also got very excited a few times when he saw a plane he liked, which was pretty funny. The tour lasted over an hour and most of the clientele were parents with their kids. Overall if you are into planes and airports (like me) this is a cool tour to do, if you're not into planes like most of the general population I would probably do something else.

You may recognize it from the 1986 Sean Connery film "The name of the Rose". My family is emigrated from a city just down the road and that used to be a part of the Monastery's estate, and I'm fortunate to stay in touch with the relatives that stayed behind. On Christmas day last year when everything is closed (and the parents wanted to tend to the Christmas roast -- think the same fuss as a Thanksgiving turkey), we young 'uns headed down to the Abbey to check things out. The buildings were closed, but the grounds were open, and we and some other locals meandered around, finally winding up by the sheep and goats. One little guy kept poking his head out to have his chin scratched, and I was happy to oblige him. I'll look forward to my next visit, hopefully on a day when the place is open so I can tour it and learn more about the Abbey's history!

I came here with a group from work for a team building adventure. We started out breaking into teams for a scavenger hunt around the monastery; then hiked up the top of the hill to see a breath taking view of the countryside and had a light snack at the summit; then returning for a formal tour of the monastery followed by wine tasting in the cellar; and finally we had dinner here at their restaurant to wrap up our 5 hour excursion. Today this place is used for festivals and concerts but you get an appreciation of the dedication and effort of a few men that resulted in an amazing historical landmark. There was also a movie filmed here in the 1980's by Sean Connery. This was a humbling and fantastic experience all rolled into one great adventure that I would highly recommend as a must see place that you will appreciate.
