The 10 Best City Tours in Frankfurt, Hesse

November 13, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

There’s plenty to see and do in this 2,000-year-old German city. The gothic Saint Bartholomeus Cathedral is a perseverant structure, having been destroyed and rebuilt twice since its 14th century construction. Catch a screening at the German Film Museum, stroll the exhibit halls of one of Frankfurt’s many galleries, or climb to the top of the Main Tower for sweeping 360-degree views of the city.

My boyfriend and I had a 7 hour layover in Oct of this year and decided to book a 2hr tour. We were not disappointed. Anita was our tour guide who met us at the airport and off we went on train to explore Frankfurt. Anita was very personable and knowledgeable as she led us through the city center to delve into history including rebuilding of city after bombing and seeing some of the main landmarks. I am a foodie so I loved the food market and was able to taste some of the native food dishes like green sauce and this truly amazingly delicious pastry with almonds (sorry forgot but name photo below). Loved that it was a walking tour as it was a great and uninhibited way to be introduced to a new city.

The tour was very nice. We drove 3 hours to visit Cologne and our 1st thing to do was this. We bought online tickets to save time. We had an extremely hard time finding it because of construction and one way streets. We finally found a parking deck but we had quite a long walk to get there so we were rushed to get out of the car and get going. Half way there we realized my husband forgot his mask in the car. If we went back to get it we would miss the boat. We were hoping to find a place to buy one on the way or buy one on the boat. We did not find a place on the way there. When we arrived at the boat at 10:27 for the boat to leave at 10:30, the person who greeted was extremely rude about my husband not having a mask. He fussed at him like my husband was a child. After we got on the boat, we asked for directions to get to the upper deck. This employee was as rude as the first. We are new in Germany but have visited several places. Everyone has been extremely nice at the other places so I was shocked at the rudeness of the people in the service industry in Cologne.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
