  • 5Amazing solo tour

    It was absolutely worth it! Our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable about the area. There was not a sight that was disappointing. Our group was small, so he even gave us some personal things that bigger groups might not get to do. I would love to do this again with more people, but it was a great adventure for a solo traveler!!

  • 5Wonderful Day Trip from Frankfurt! 🇩🇪🇫🇷

    We had a wonderful time on the Baden-Baden, Black Forest and Strasbourg Day Trip from Frankfurt with Viator! Our guide, Thomas, was fantastic—very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire day. He was a wealth of information and even offered to take pictures of our group, which we really appreciated! We were especially lucky that it ended up being just the four of us on the tour. Because of that, we were able to shorten our time in Baden-Baden a little and spend more time exploring La Petite France in Strasbourg, which was a highlight of the day. It was a beautiful trip with a great guide, and we really enjoyed seeing so much in one day. We would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Thomas as your guide!

  • 5Friendly and helpful tour operators

    Beautiful day with the help of our very knowledgeable and funny guide Willie. We walked around Baden Baden to look at the stately old buildings and cosy restaurants for one hour. Then we drove through the Black Forest with its huge Christmas tree-like pines and stopped for about one hour at the Mummelsee for a quick bite and a look at the big Souvenir Store. I found the lake much smaller than I had imagined. Since our guide Willie was aware that we wanted to meet an old friend in Strasbourg, he made every effort that we had enough time there. Thank you Willie!

    The driver was very entertaining. While the trip was rather long, time was well filled and went by fast. All the stops were unique and very interesting.

About Frankfurt

Frankfurt is a river city in Hesse, a financial centre of glass towers beside a rebuilt old town, with museums along the Main and apple-wine taverns.

Frankfurt am Main stands on the river Main, and its cluster of skyscrapers, nicknamed Mainhattan, gives it a skyline unusual for Germany. The old town square, the Römerberg, with its half-timbered houses and the stepped-gable Römer town hall, was reconstructed after the bombing of 1944. The Kaiserdom, a red sandstone cathedral, was the coronation church of Holy Roman emperors, and the Paulskirche saw Germany's first freely elected parliament meet in 1848.

Top-ranked sights in Frankfurt: Römerberg Square, Lake Titisee, Frankfurt Cathedral (Frankfurter Dom).
