Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Hesse, Germany

April 27, 2022 Chanda Heide

Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Foodwise everything is possible- from a late breakfast at a typical German bakery by a gourmet lunch at magnificent wine castle to traditional German coffee and cake at a wonderful café above the vineyards. The tour can always be customized according to your interests, wishes and special needs.

We had an incredible couple of days with Florian! We travelled from Canada ???????? and had never been to Germany. He made our experience stress-free and so fun!! He picked us up at the airport, took us for an authentic German supper at a local restaurant in Frankfurt and then we did an evening guided tour of the city. The next two days were full of the Rhein Valley and Mosel Valley. Small quaint villages, wine, food and history! Florian is intelligent, funny and kind. We couldn’t have asked for more. His English is impeccable and in fact he speaks several languages fluently. We saw more in the few days we had with him than we could have ever imagined! 5 Stars all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You will never regret your choice to book with Florian! We can’t wait to visit Germany again one day!

The German Autobahn is special for a number of reasons. The most famous one is the absence of a general speed limit. There are foreign visitors who dare to drive on the German Autobahn themselves, while others prefer to be driven. The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is "a friend in heidelberg". Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice. With me as your chauffeur, you will enjoy this trip on the German Autobahn with all comfort and in absolute style. Since I lived and worked in the US, I speak fluent English. I got my driver's license back in 1980 and have never had a single accident on the Autobahn. Therefore, you can be sure that it will be an absolutely safe ride. Your car will be a Mercedes S-Class, virtually a private jet for the road, equipped with all state-of-the-art features.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Soda/Pop, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea, Speeding tickets bill ;-)

Exclusions: Travel exceeding the mileage allotment of 100 kilometers per hour will be charged with 1.00 € per kilometer.

I booked this tour and received Confirmation. A few hours later my tour was Cancelled. No reason was provided. By the time I received notice of the Cancelation, there was no time to book something else to fill the hole in my schedule this created. If they had a problem and could not provide th tour, why accept and confirm my reservation, and then cancel later the same day? Very unprofessional.

Thanks to the Internet genealogical research has become way easier. Nowadays you have an unparalleled opportunity to trace your roots to a certain town and to explore where your ancestors originated. You might even get lucky and meet some distant relatives. If your ancestors are from Germany, I am here to help you explore the places and points of interest related to your ancestors. Actually, a lot of Germans who emigrated came from the region I serve as a driver guide or better your "concierge on wheels". I am located in the renowned historic city of Heidelberg and my primarily geographical area of operations stretches from Frankfurt in the north, Stuttgart and Strasbourg in the south, Saarbrucken and Kaiserslautern, known as "K-town" by US army personnel, in the west and Würzburg and Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the east. The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is "a friend in heidelberg". Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice. I was not only born in the famous historical city of Heidelberg and know the area extremely well, but also lived and worked in the US and hence speak fluent English. If you wish I can help you with the organization of your trip ahead of time. In contrast to the famous movie "Back to the Future", I cannot serve with a DeLorean with a built-in time machine, but offer a fully equipped first-class Mercedes S-Class limousine for travels back to one’s past.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Soda/Pop, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Travel exceeding the mileage allotment of 20 kilometers per hour will be charged with 1.00 € per kilometer.

We are the #1 tour in Frankfurt for a reason. Our native Engish-speaking guides always try to make your tour memorable with unique tidbits of Frankfurt history as well as being passionate about showing you this 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. There is no reason to book this tour ahead of time, you can just show up at our meeting point and pay cash on the day of the tour. It will cost you less than booking ahead. It is an easy walk, with comfort breaks, snack break, and is stroller and wheelchair friendly. Private tours, group tours, and layover tours available by request when you visit our website and we answer emails promptly.

Inclusions: * Hand Sanitizer always available from Guide, * Free City Map given out on all tours.

Exclusions: Masks- Masks must be worn on all downtown city streets

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.

We loved this food tour, it was one of our favorite activities in Berlin! Since it was just our group Liz was able to customize it to our liking. She took us to some of her favorite spots, places we never would have found on our own. We felt like locals and oh man was the food delicious! Liz was very entertaining and charming and even helped us navigate our way to our next activity. We loved every minute of the food tour and highly recommend Liz!
