We were on a one night stop over with an evening flight out so we’re looking for something to fill our day. As it was just the 2 of us Laura tailored the tour to what suited us. We learnt some history of Frankfurt and tried some local foods. Best of all was just engaging with Laura and talking about our combined travel experiences. Laura is a great guide and very accommodating. Highly recommend this tour.Great time

We were the second half of the tour group that Peniel took and Food and History tour. He was very informative. He not only took us to try great food but he told us about the history of the city; both good and bad. He obviously loves his city ad his job, and he showed it constantly. We all enjoyed the tour and would recommend him to anyone who wanted a guide in Frankfurt. He did a great job taking us to different places, even with some mobility issues.

Peniel was very knowledgeable about the history and food of Frankfurt. He was also very attentive to our needs. When we were tired and needed a place to sit for a few minutes, he took us into the church to explain the church and its history. The food was great, we got to sample a variety of things including the green sauce (on our frikadellen).Frankfurt Food & History tour

We have 3 kids and have found a “food tour” is a good way to get some local history, while having little food intermissions to keep the kids from getting bored. Penny was an excellent host, knew all sorts of city history, patiently answered the kids questions, gave lots of nuanced and interesting tid bits…and we got to try several interesting and tasty items from local cuisine. The walking is minimal and flat (if that’s important for you). Penny also gave us several recommendations on other places to visit in the city during our trip. Would absolutely recommend this tour and Penny as a guide!Fun and informative - highly recommend

Couldn’t fault our walking tour of Frankfurt with Peniel. He was a great guy with a fantastic insight into the history of the city, its landmarks and hidden secrets. He takes time to find out your interests and tailors his tour to what YOU want to do. Even if you don’t know what you want, you could just let Penny take the lead! We had only just arrived and this tour set us up with getting our bearings and giving us the confidence to explore further! He even advised us of areas to visit off the beaten track including eateries away from the tourist areas where locals frequent! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend hitching up with Peniel for a tour! Great Taster of Frankfurt

I was fortunate enough to have Laura as my tour guide. First she generously allowed me to reschedule when my flight was delayed. Then she gave me an amazing tour of her city. I had as much fun talking with her as tasting the local food dishes. She helped me to appreciate Frankfurt as much as she does. I also loved how we went to places filled with locals. It made me feel that I experienced the real Frankfurt and I liked it! Thank you, Laura!A great local experience!

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 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
