The 5 Best Historical Tours in Frankfurt

1.Frankfurt Self-Guided Historical Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 58 reviews · 2 days · from $8Our pick

Explore Frankfurt’s landmarks on a flexible 5.7 km smartphone tour with audio, history, and 10 riddles for $8.

“Comodo il collegamento a Google Maps per raggiungere l’attrazione successiva. Le spiegazioni però sono molto basiche e piuttosto brevi. Avrei preferito contenuti più approfonditi e dettagliati, magari con qualche curiosità o aneddoto interessante. Nel complesso mi aspettavo qualcosa di più. Detto questo, per il prezzo che si paga (7€) è veramente basso, quindi nel complesso il rapporto qualità-prezzo resta comunque buono.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours · from $17

Review of Darmstadt’s $17 guided walk, from Luisenplatz to UNESCO-listed Mathildenhöhe, with practical advice on language, stairs, value, and timing.

“Tour guide was not prepared to give the tour in English even though when I bought the ticket it specifically said English. She was able to proceed and give the tour in both English and German. This upset some of the other people on the tour. Also note that due to several staircases tour route is not wheelchair or stroller friendly”

5.magnificent historic Heidelberg, private Tour, from Frankfurt

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · 6 hours · from $171

Review of a private Heidelberg tour from Frankfurt, with castle views, Old Town sights, lunch advice, costs, timing, and booking tips.

“We really enjoyed our time with Maik on this tour. The conversation was both informative and enjoyable. He made allowances for a less than sunny day for us to get the best shots possible and to see things with the best view. The castle tour was excellent. We enjoyed learning all about the history of the castle. Lunch was very good and he really took the time to help us understand the dishes on the menu and gave us great recommendations. Maik gave us valuable, cultural insights and ensured that our day was a wonderful time spent in Heidelberg. Definitely recommend!!”
