Would not recommend---hidden fees!
We essentially missed half the tour because a restaurant we were taken to was closed. We only saw Strasbourg and we were informed of hidden fees in the beginning of the trip. To those considering this trip: The tour company tried to charged 120 Euro per hour if the trip exceeded 8 hours. This was first told to us when we got in the vehicle by whatever company Viator gave the trip to. The guide was embarrassed to say it, but I understood he needs to keep his job too. I tried to ask what they would do if we said no, but he did not understand. It would be impossible to have this trip be just 8 hours. (In our case, we drove for 6+ hours and had a couple hours in Strasbourg and a visit to a closed restaurant. I told the guide to take us back at this point. We arrived at our hotel at the 9 hour mark.) The driver was a really nice guy and excelled at giving the right amount of history during his story telling to keep us engaged.

Extortion attempt!
The places I saw were beautiful but this trip was completely tarnished by a greedy tour guide who, on the way back, when we were stopped in Baden Baden, wanted to invoice me for extra hours on the trip. We hadn't even reached the posted time for the trip yet. I prepaid over $1,500 for this trip. We didn't do any special stops at my request - we only did the things that were highlighted in the itinerary. All the way back to Frankfurt, I was interrogated about how much I paid, how many other trips I was booked on and the total I paid. Coincidentally, I met a couple on my Rhine tour the next day who took the same tour, paid the same amount for two people, started the tour at the same time I did (9:30 am) and arrived back in Frankfurt at the same time I did. They were not subjected to extortion attempts for more money!! I ended up giving the driver EUR 200 cash when he dropped me off because he made me feel obligated. What a royal rip-off! Fair warning to the solo traveler - you will instantly be targeted in an extortion attempt to pay much, much more for the trip than what it was worth. Incidentally, I took a number of tours while I was in Frankfurt (with larger groups, thankfully) some of which were longer than this one, and none of the tourists were harassed to pay more. I would like an explanation for this extraordinarily dishonest behavior please.

too much time in car
r guide was terrific, but i think the trip to strasbourg is just too long for one day. would have liked to spend more time there and also in the black forest.

Great tour covering lots of sights
Our tour guide, Willi, made this trip really special. He was so knowledgeable about each area we visited and shared lots of info about Germany in general. Willi's sense of humor was great and he kept us laughing all day. There is much to see on this trip so we didn't spend an inordinate amount of time at each place, which is exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend this tour and if you have Willi as your guide, you won't be disappointed.

Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Frankfurt.
How much does Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt cost?
+
Prices start at $326 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 Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 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 Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt?
+
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 Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Baden-Baden and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt 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, Discover the Heart of Frankfurt - City Tour in German. 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.
