Hi everyone, I'm Claudia! :) I come from Sardinia, where I worked as a tour guide for several years. The love for my land has allowed me to cultivate this wonderful job, allowing me to rediscover my hometown, Sassari, even better, and to meet people from different parts of the world. It is nice to be able to continue my passion also in Frankfurt, a city in which I have lived for more than six years and which in some way I feel I belong to me. In the Francofortine streets and alleys where some differences between Italian and German culture shine through, we will understand that we are not that different and that we also have many things in common! Which? Come and discover them with me! ;)

Hi! We are Penny and Nemu 👋🏿 So you're coming to Frankfurt? Welcome! We grew up in this city and we're happy to show you all the wonderful things we love about it. After high school, Penny traveled the world for a year and discovered the concept of the free walking tour. And as a passionate frankfurter and history nerd he decided after his return to host guests in his city and to show them around. Nemu is a history student at the Goethe University, knows Frankfurt very well and is as passionate at being a guide for visitors as Penny. We are extroverted, very hospitable, welcoming and passionate. Both of us have always been very interested in history, which is why we can provide a lot of facts about Frankfurt, Germany and Europe on the tour. However, as the sons of refugees, we can also offer interesting insights and a different perspective into Germany's most diverse city. We are looking forward to your visit in Frankfurt, see you soon!

Hello, my name is Holger and I was raised in the area around Frankfurt. I have been a travel guide and ambassador for my hometown since my student days. With a lot of passion and energy, I manage to bring you closer to the sights and historical facts of the city of Frankfurt am Main.

Nicolás was born in Buenos Aires. A journalist and teacher by profession, he chose Frankfurt as his new home, like so many other foreigners who fell in love with Germany's most international city.

As an art historian and inveterate traveler, I believe that the history of a country should not be kept only in books, but should be explored corner by corner in its cities. For this reason, more than 5 years ago I left the office and decided to go out to the street to directly connect the traveler with the history and culture of the place. My experience as a guide in different European cities has allowed me to harmonize the enormous historical-cultural content of Frankfurt, with all the necessary practical information (such as restaurants, nightlife, shopping, etc.) to make a trip a total experience.

Hey, I'm an active person who likes to travel. I connect cultures and love to welcome people to my city. I studied law and the history of Frankfurt with the fun facts are simply unique here....

As a seasoned walking tour host with a passion for discovering new cities and connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds, I bring a unique perspective to each of my tours. I have enjoyed working with embassies and institutes in curating custom tours on request. Originally hailing from South India, I have spent 3 years calling Frankfurt my home, while immersing myself in the local culture and exploring the surrounding areas. My tours are shaped around the things that excite me the most about these cities. I have travelled to more that 35 cities in and around Germany where I have had the pleasure of interacting with fellow walking tour hosts, exchanging ideas and learning from their experiences. As for me, I am an artist and urban researcher constantly seeking out new and innovative ways to explore the public realm and share its beauty with others. Since 2017, I have also curated my own heritage walks and inclusive art trails, bringing a personalized touch to each tour and ensuring that every guest feels engaged and inspired. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, I am excited to share my love of culture, history, and art with you on your next walking tour adventure.

Our passion and love for what we do is what maintains our organization as one of the best activities to do in any of the cities in which we operate. We believe that it is important for us to love and enjoy what we do, so we can reflect and transmit that to all our visitors. Our tours are a perfect mix of history, stories, legends and our little secrets. We are also always full of ideas for your dinner, best waffle, fun bars and whatever else you might be interested in!

Famous sights to visit in a walking tour Frankfurt

Frankfurt is a vibrant city that beautifully blends modernity with tradition. A walking tour Frankfurt should definitely include a visit to the iconic Römer, the city’s historic town hall, which dates back to the 15th century. Its stunning architecture and the surrounding Römerberg square, with its half-timbered houses, create a picturesque atmosphere that transports you back in time.

Another must-see is the impressive Frankfurt Cathedral (Kaiserdom), which dominates the skyline with its towering spire. As you stroll along the riverbank, make sure to take in the views of the Main Tower, where you can ascend for a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. Don’t miss the chance to relax in the beautiful Palmengarten, a lush botanical garden that showcases a variety of plant species from around the world.

Must-Visit Places on a Free Walking Tour Frankfurt in Winter

Winter in Frankfurt transforms the city into a festive wonderland, making it an ideal time to explore its vibrant atmosphere. Begin your journey at the charming Frankfurt Christmas Market, one of the oldest and most beautiful in Germany. The market, set against the backdrop of the historic Römer, features stalls brimming with handmade crafts and delicious seasonal treats like Glühwein (mulled wine) and Lebkuchen (gingerbread), perfect for warming you up on a chilly day.

For families, a visit to the Senckenberg Natural History Museum offers a fascinating experience, especially with the children’s programs available during the winter months. The museum showcases an impressive collection of dinosaur fossils and interactive exhibits that will engage visitors of all ages. Afterward, take a leisurely stroll through the snow-dusted paths of the Palmengarten, where you can enjoy the serenity of nature even in winter, and perhaps warm up in the café with a slice of seasonal cake.
