Multilingual audio is included, and the Grand Ticket lets you hop on and off for 24 hours.
“The tour guide could’ve described the buildings more, to make it more obvious which ones were being talked about, but other than that, it was very descriptive”
You board a KD boat beside Frankfurt’s Eiserner Steg bridge for a one-hour cruise along the Main. Expect views of the cathedral, bridges, modern towers, and riverfront from both sides of the boat, with recorded commentary in German and English.

“Very interesting tour and different to the usual walking tours. David covered the history of Frankfurt from Roman times to current day. It did not. Involve a lot of walking which was good.”
Start at Braubachstraße 41 for a 2 to 3 hour English walk through Frankfurt’s old town, medieval Jewish Quarter, market district, and New Old Town.

Meet a robed hangman at Frankfurt Cathedral for a 75-minute German-language night walk. Hear about medieval executions, drownings at the Main, torture at Römerberg, and the uneasy role of executioners. Professional acting gives the tour its edge, though the theatrical costume may not always be used throughout.

“It was an amazing tour. you must try this first before you so anything at Frankfurt. Our guide Marvin was really great. He started with a clear intro about Frankfurt, the various cycle tours and the one we are doing. Throughout the tour we learnt a lot on the historical facts and current development of Frankfurt. it was a beautiful sight and very serene. Marvin as a tour guide gave us a personal touch and flavour of Frankfurt that has made us decide to revisit again and spend more time here. Overall it was totally worth it and I would recommend to not think twice, this is a must try…”
