As a frequent visitor to Frankfurt, I am convinced that this city offers more than just skyscrapers…read moreand business buzz--it's a city of contrasts waiting to be explored. The tour took us beyond the usual sights, weaving through iconic landmarks like Römerberg, Frankfurt Cathedral, and Carmelite Monastery, while also brushing past modern hubs like MyZeil and Hauptbahnhof. What sets it apart is the personal touch: hidden alleys, local eateries, and stories that reveal the city's layered soul. From the Iron Bridge to Goethe-Haus and Alte Oper, the tour dives deep into Frankfurt's heritage. Whether you're drawn to history, architecture, or global flavors--like the Middle Eastern dishes at Ya Medina or South Indian fare at Saravanaa Bhavan--you'll leave with a richer connection to the city. Known as "Mainhattan" for its skyline and river setting, Frankfurt blends tradition with innovation, making it ideal for short stays, cultural breaks, and day trips. A city of trade, tales, and timeless charm.

I wanted to find an informative walking tour of Frankfurt during a recent visit & found Frankfurt…read moreOn Foot through Yelp. Thank you fellow Yelpers! I read the glowing reviews of the tour guide Dave & was looking forward to meeting him. Upon arrival, Dave was collecting payment (17€) and was answering questions. I told him that I read that he was retired American military & was living in Frankfurt. I asked him how he ended up in Frankfurt & he answered that he followed his love (now his wife). I love cute love stories. Our tour was led by Angeliki, a guide who is specialized in archaeology. She was very knowledgeable & sweet lady. Our tour included architecture details & history of many buildings, a bathroom break & lunch at an inside market that had sandwiches, pastries & a famous lady who makes beef & pork sausages & also makes her own mustard. I had a pork sausage sandwich with mustard. Simple & tasty. I walked around with another fellow traveler & we had post lunch pastries before meeting up with our group. Our tour ended at the burial site of Anne Frank & her family. It was somber but very emotional & moving. Thank you Frankfurt On Foot for an informative & educational tour, which was interesting & enjoyable despite the rain & snow.

It was a sunny May day that we visited Rudesheim and the first thing on the agenda was a Rhine…read moreriver cruise. Whether you want to get off or not, it's a pleasant ride up and down the river with ample chances to take in the views of the many castles, vineyards, and Germanic scenery. We took the chance to hop on and off, saw a castle, ate some lunch, and then enjoyed our ride back to Rudesheim on the patio of the boat. You can order the famous Rudesheim coffee drink on board, along with some other goodies, which adds an element of fun to it. Overall, it's a fun thing to do when in the region. Don't expect a luxury liner, but you'll be comfortable.

As public transportation works so well in Germany we were going by train and bus, but Bingen and Rüdesheim are separated by the Rhine, so boat was in order. Fare: 2.20€ per person. The bus from Bad Kruznach to Bingen stopped very close to the ferry but be aware that on the Rüdesheim side the boat stops near the station, which is a bit of a walk to the city center, and the buses are infrequent.

Their onboard menu offerings ranged from ice cream to chocolates, and full-on sausage lunch plates with beers. The guided tour was conducted in (pre-recorded) English, and it takes you downriver past historic castles and vineyards.

Tucked away in the hills that overlook the Rhine, you'll find Kloster Eberbach. It is stunning in…read moreits serenity and impressive to think that it was built long ago without the help of modern construction. You may recognize it from the 1986 Sean Connery film "The name of the Rose". My family is emigrated from a city just down the road and that used to be a part of the Monastery's estate, and I'm fortunate to stay in touch with the relatives that stayed behind. On Christmas day last year when everything is closed (and the parents wanted to tend to the Christmas roast -- think the same fuss as a Thanksgiving turkey), we young 'uns headed down to the Abbey to check things out. The buildings were closed, but the grounds were open, and we and some other locals meandered around, finally winding up by the sheep and goats. One little guy kept poking his head out to have his chin scratched, and I was happy to oblige him. I'll look forward to my next visit, hopefully on a day when the place is open so I can tour it and learn more about the Abbey's history!

This was my first time visiting a previous monastery dwelling and was surprised to know that only…read more120 monks lived on such a beautiful estate. I came here with a group from work for a team building adventure. We started out breaking into teams for a scavenger hunt around the monastery; then hiked up the top of the hill to see a breath taking view of the countryside and had a light snack at the summit; then returning for a formal tour of the monastery followed by wine tasting in the cellar; and finally we had dinner here at their restaurant to wrap up our 5 hour excursion. Today this place is used for festivals and concerts but you get an appreciation of the dedication and effort of a few men that resulted in an amazing historical landmark. There was also a movie filmed here in the 1980's by Sean Connery. This was a humbling and fantastic experience all rolled into one great adventure that I would highly recommend as a must see place that you will appreciate.
