Hello and warmly welcome to Frankfurt. I am Silvia, authentic, cosmopolitan, inspiring, communicative, and committed. Whether you're a tourist, a local or a new mover, I like meeting guests/ traveler's from all over the world and sharing my enthusiasm for the city with you. Why do I do what I do? After more than 18 years in the tourism/hotel industry, it is my passion traveling and staying in foreign cities and countries. As a true Hessin with a lot of insider knowledge, educated as a tour guide in both classic historical or modern contemporary tours it's now time to show others the world's smallest metropolis as a tour guide and get them excited about Frankfurt. Why do I love Frankfurt? . . . . The diversity and contrasts, the remarkable stories, the cultural and culinary offerings, the exciting architecture and of course the short distances. As a passionate globetrotter, I am travelling between Mainhattan and the rest of the world and look always at sights and attractions. I am curious about people, their cultures and am interested in the respective spirit of time (art, culture, history, cuisine, fashion, sport, interior, and much more). It up to you know to Discover the diversity of the world. Travel with lasting memories, learnings and inspirations. Frankfurt and their more than 770. 000 citizens welcomes you. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver if requested. But keep in mind Frankfurt is a city by walking distances.

Overview of your Frankfurt tour

Frankfurt is full of curiosities, as our city's greatest son, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the prince of poets, already knew. Many guests want to discover Frankfurt through stories, which are usually more memorable than facts and figures. Join me on a tour steeped in history and discover local stories with anecdotes, legends, and sayings. We will explore the new old Town, find traces of Frankfurt personalities, celebrities, and originals everywhere. Did you know, for example, why cat figures sit on the roof of Frankfurt's town hall "Römer", who lives in the cathedral tower and that falcons breed under the illuminated logo of a skyscraper? I'll give you some entertaining background information about Frankfurt's national drink, cider, of course the wonderful story about the original Frankfurter sausages, famous since the Middle Ages. Each of these stories will help you to understand Frankfurt so much better than expected. Don't miss after the Tour: The diverse museum landscape in Frankfurt.

A great way to immerse yourself quickly to the sights, architectural details, and history of the old city. Sylvia was a well-informed guide who also asked if there were particular things we were interested in learning rather than just giving a scripted tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Your Frankfurt tour itinerary

GOSIGHTSEEINGWITHME - I'll show you FRANKFURT at its best. Those who come to Frankfurt usually have a pretty accurate idea of the metropolis on the Main and are surprised at what the city has to offer. We start our tour at St Paul's Church, where the first German parliament met, and Kennedy spoke of the cradle of German democracy. We will see along others: • Römerberg, the town hall square of Frankfurt and the center of the old town since the High Middle Ages. You will no doubt be familiar with the balcony on the Römer from films and TV. • New Old Town, experience the flair, deep dive with me in the illustrious stories in an enjoyable way. Marvel at the many local specialties. • Old Bridge, our last tour stop is where the story of Frankfurt began. • We return our way to the Römerberg, where our tour ends. Tour can be customized as per your wishes.
