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!

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

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 really enjoyed our time with Shene, especially since she was willing to show us around as a fill in for our original reservation. 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

I got a real sense of Frankfurt now and back when. Next time here I will reach out to your firm for another tour. If Laura still doing tours I will pick her.’Great local guide Laura

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

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!

The tour was overall amazing and I’m truly impressed on the amount of knowledge that Peniel has about Frankfurt and Germany in general. While showing us around the city, he gave us detailed information regarding each stops and was able to answer all of the visitors’ questions. I highly recommend going with his tour, other than it is so much fun, it is truly amazing how someone as young as he is could deliver such an impressive lecture about the subject matter. You could also see how passionate he is about his city and what he is doing. Keep it up, Penny! I would definitely recommend you to all my colleagues!Wonderful tour!

Wir haben schon viele Free Walking Tours in Europa gemacht. Diese hier war auf jeden Fall mit vorne dabei. Penny war super freundlich, wusste wirklich viel und kann spannend erzählen. Man hat seinen Enthusiasmus für die Geschichte der Stadt richtig gemerkt. Die besuchten Orte waren super ausgewählt. Wir sind auch in Sachen reingegangen, die kostenlos zugänglich sind. Auch sein Angebot, dass wir ihm bei Fragen nach Empfehlungen gerne auch noch die nächsten Tage schreiben können, fand ich sehr sympathisch.Sympatisch

Not only was the day a blast and I got to see many sights, but I was impressed with Ahmed’s deep and vast knowledge of everything in Frankfurt- from the history and culture, to the food, the buildings, architecture etc. highly recommend to any travelers that want a comprehensive crash course into Frankfurt as a city and it’s food from an extremely knowledgeable, kind, empathetic and articulate guide who quickly becomes a dear friend for the day. Lastly, also recommend this tour to solo or women travelers that want to sightsee and enjoy exploring the city but don’t want go by themselves.
