Excellent your guide,...
Excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the area and it's history of specific points of interest. Made sure to get me to the church/cathedral before it closed. I was the only one on the group tour and he still did the tour instead of cancelling which I would have understood if he did. Well worth it.

Very informative we saw...
Very informative we saw places we most likely wouldn’t have found on our own. Excellent history of the area and city.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for leaving us a review :) I would really appreciate, how can we improve our tours to give an excelent performance 5-stars :) ? With Kind Regards Florian

Great tour of Frankfurt!
The tour was excellent! Florian (apologize for the misspelling) was super in sharing the fun history of the city and the significance of how past events contribute to the development of the current city. He was very kind in showing us also where and what to eat later. Highly recommend this tour for everyone who wants to know Frankfurt better.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Frankfurt.
How much does Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Frankfurt usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Frankfurt is not rushed.
Is Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Frankfurt, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Frankfurt can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Frankfurt and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Frankfurt within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Frankfurt?
+
On Outty we rank every Frankfurt experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frankfurt Highlights English Walking Tour, Heidelberg Castle and City Day Tour from Frankfurt, Guided Axe Throwing Experience in Frankfurt Altstadt. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Frankfurt?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Frankfurt?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Highlights of Frankfurt. Walking Open Tour of Old Town and more?
