Hi there! Nice to meet you

"Creating memories through stories. Every place has a tale to tell, and I'm here to bring ‎them to life for you."‎

Hello! I'm Jihad, Cultural Connoisseur & Storytelling Guide, leading you through the vibrant cities of ‎Frankfurt and Heidelberg. With a rich academic background in English literature and a deep passion for ‎exploring new places, I bring a unique perspective to my tours.‎

My journey began as a student who came to Frankfurt to complete my studies. It didn't take long for me ‎to fall in love with this city's charming blend of history, culture, and culinary delights. Frankfurt is not just ‎a place I guide; it's my second home, a treasure trove of stories waiting to be shared.‎

In addition to Frankfurt, I also offer tours in the beautiful city of Heidelberg, located less than an hour's ‎drive away from Frankfurt. Known for its romantic cityscape, rich history, and the famous Heidelberg Castle, this city ‎offers a different but equally enchanting experience.‎

As a lover of history, literature, myths, and folktales, I find joy in the hidden gems and lesser-known tales ‎of both cities. My extensive knowledge often surprises even the locals! But what truly sets my tours apart ‎is my storytelling approach. I believe that every site has a story to tell, and I aim to make these stories ‎come alive for you. This way, you don't just visit Frankfurt and Heidelberg; you experience them in a way ‎that stays with you forever.‎

Whether it's the city's rich literary history, intriguing local myths, or mouth-watering traditional ‎cuisine, I am here to ensure that your visit is memorable, informative, and filled with stories to share ‎back home.‎

Join me on a journey through Frankfurt and Heidelberg, where history and stories blend seamlessly, ‎creating an unforgettable experience. Let's make memories together!‎

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 a wonderful tour with Jihad. We had both kids ( 10 and 13) along with 4 adults. We learned so much and experienced so much local German food. Jihad took his time with us and moved the tour at our pace. Highly recommend him for a great day in Frankfurt. Great Day!

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!

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.

We were late due to airlines problems. Jihad was wonderful and communicated well with us. We got off on wrong train station and he came to meet us. His knowledge and history of Frankfurt was amazing. He answered all our questions. The local food was good and plentiful. We would book Jihad for another tour happily Fantastic guide

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
