We had a wonderful visit of Frankfurt with Sascha. He met us at our hotel. Our tour started with a ride on the city’s tram system - it was quite useful when we later used it on our own. Our tour was very much in the tone of a conversation. Sascha quickly assessed what our interests were, and our visit of Frankfurt was made much more interesting because of this. Sascha has an excellent knowledge of the city and its history. We would certainly recommend him as guide to Frankfurt.Great visit with Sascha

We had a fabulous walking tour of Frankfurt with Sascha. Learning the history, from Roman to current day, and seeing the fabulous buildings made us appreciate this diverse City. Highlights also included some of our interests (art, food). What a way to start a stay in Frankfurt. Uncover the gems of Frankfurt

I had a great time touring with Laura. Frankfurt was especially busy with tourists (like me) but we were able to meet up and had a good tour. I was able to see the Christmas villages, go to an amazing market, stroll through Roman ruins, and a number of other places. She knew of some quieter less traveled places which were beautiful and serene. We also tried some food from a famous sausage stand along the way. Laura was generous with her recommendations and time and I enjoyed the tour. Would recommend.Great time exploring Frankfurt

We had the pleasure of exploring Frankfurt with Penny as our tour guide, and he truly made our visit memorable. Penny, a student at a nearby university, brought an infectious enthusiasm to the tour, paired with a genuine smile that instantly put us at ease. Penny's knowledge of the city and its hidden gems was impressive. He took the time to cater to our specific interests, tailoring the experience to ensure we got the most out of our day. Whether we were interested in historical sites, local culture, or culinary delights, Penny had insightful recommendations. He even suggested great spots for dinner and nightlife, which turned out to be highlights of our stay. What stood out most was Penny's warm and welcoming nature. He treated us like family, making us feel not just like visitors but part of the community. Penny also did an exceptional job engaging our teenage daughters, keeping them interested and involved throughout the tour. His friendly demeanor and ability to connect with everyone in our group made our time in Frankfurt truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!Great introduction to Frankfurt

We saw surprises around every corner with a historical flair! His dedication to duty and knowledge of the city were in keeping with the highest standards of global tour operators.

Last Friday we did an evening food tour with Laura and it was fantastic! We enjoyed the food so much that when we were back in Frankfurt last night for our last night, we headed back to some of the same places Laura had taken us to so we could have the food again before heading home :)Beautiful night in Frankfurt!

Laura was great! It was a wonderful mix of local culture, history and yummy food. I was not given the option to join a group so I had to book one on my own. As a single person it was quite expensive, but I knew hopping on a tour when I first get into a new city is priceless. I appreciate the flexibility when booking a private tour, but I would love to have options with With Locals to join a group as a single traveler at a lower price. I am giving a price-value rating 10/10 because I don't want this to affect Laura's rating, but I would like to really rate it 5/10 for a 3 hour walking tour at over $400.Would highly recommend!

As much as the weather was grey and completely out of our control, Laura brought the shades with her vibrant knowledge of Frankfurt with her extroverted, enthusiastic personality. We explored the old city, talked about the history and today’s multicultural Frankfurt. The morning tour suited me very well and Laura got it right for my inquisitive mind. Colours and style

I arranged a walking tour for a company team of approx. 20 people. Communication and organization with Jihad were fast and easy. He is always able to tailor the tour to our request concerning the number of people, logistics, restaurant recommendations and agenda, even in short notice. Jihad - with extensive and deep knowledge and passion for Frankfurt history and culture - has made our time enjoyable and kept us inquisitive about the local stories and custom. Highly recommend having Jihad as your tour guide for both private and company tour.Accommodating, knowledgable guide

We were able to get a lesson in Frankfurts history, important sites & fun facts. We saw beautiful Churches, great view points & hidden gems that we would never have seen on our own. Overall, Shene’s enthusiasm for the city and its history was great! Great overview of Frankfurt

Can't say enough positives about Laura. We booked this food tour on a Sunday without knowing that really nothing is open on Sundays. I wish we would have been told that before the tour. Laura tried her best to entertain us as it became a walking tour of a closed city. Laura did her best with what she had to work with. She's very informative and we enjoyed her time but this wasn't the tour we thought we were doing. Frankfurt is closed on Sundays

Jihad emailed me as soon as I booked the trip. He was welcoming and reached out the day before to confirm and sent me his direct info so we could connect easily. He even met up with my group in a spot very convenient for us! Once the tour began, Jihad asked us what we were most interested in food wise and helped provide suggestions. We had delicious food and drinks that were unique to Frankfurt and its culture. He took us all around Frankfurt and gave us a full history and background of the city. He made sure to tailor the tour as needed. He was full of Frankfurt food facts and interesting knowledge. If you’re going on this tour, Jihad knows his stuff!Jihad is the BEST!

Laura has been a great guide and besides the usual famous spots, has also shown us places in Frankfurt where we definitely would not have gone on our own. The 3-hour tour was just right and well-paced for walking. The local snack from a stall with an 80-year old history was simply delicious. Laura was also most accommodating. Our plans changed 2 days before the tour and she was most gracious to change our tour date accordingly.A Great Guide and Very Accommodating

I don’t think I can begin to say how amazing Jihad was. For a first time in Germany, this was the best decision we could’ve made was booking this food tour. His precision to detail and love for history was so apparent and made everything that much better. The food, drinks, and sights we saw was a memory I will carry with me forever. Thank you Jihad for being incredible.

Am Donnerstag hat uns - eine Gruppe von 10 Personen unterschiedlichen Alters und Nationen - Jihad drei Stunden durch Frankfurt geführt und für alle verging die Zeit wie im Flug. Jihad hat eine aufrichtige Begeisterung für die Geschichte dieser Stadt (und darüber hinaus) und erzählt mit großer spürbarer Freude viele Geschichten und Ereignisse. Alle waren von seiner Herzlichkeit und seiner freundlichen, zugewandten Art begeistert. Es war uns ein Fest! Wir hatten drei tolle Stunden

Peniel's walking tour was the best I had ever been on (and I have been on a lot!). From big historical concepts that explain the importance of Frankfurt in the history of Germany, to interesting factoids and true experience based stories, Peniel has it all to offer. He is smart, educated and funny all in one and makes even sure his guests have time for a toilet and watering break ! I would absolutely book him again!Excellent Tour

Great tour! Just moved to Frankfurt because of work and we took the tour to get to know more about the city. And we got to know a lot more! On top of the history of the Frankfurt City Center, Peniel included a lot of general German history. He answered every question of all the tour participants. He was super nice, stopped when asked for (toilet breaks or food breaks) and waited for people to take pictures of the city. Big recommendation for him as a guide!!Great tour!
