Hi! My name is Peniel, but you can also call me Penny :) So you're coming to Frankfurt? Welcome! I grew up in this city and I'm happy to show you all the wonderful things I love about it. After graduating from high school, I traveled the world for a year and discovered the concept of the walking tour. I think it's really cool and would love to host guests in my city and show them around. I'm a rather extroverted guy, very hospitable, welcoming and passionate. I've always been very interested in history, which is why I can provide a lot of facts about Frankfurt, Germany and Europe on the tour. However, as the son of refugees, I can also offer interesting insights and a different perspective into Germany's most diverse city. I look forward to your visit in Frankfurt, see you soon!
WELCOME TO FRANKFURT!
Frankfurt is a unique, complicated and often overlooked city and therefore it takes a powerful tour to truly understand the city.
On the guided visit we look up at modern skyscrapers and travel through time viewing the medieval old town. We talk about the different cultural influences that make our city so colorful and how they affect society.
We learn how Frankfurt connects and changes the world, from Germany's largest airport to the European Central Bank, but also how this city has always been a center for literature, from Goethe and the annual book fair to Frankfurt as the center of German hip-hop.
To get to know the real Frankfurt, however, one must also discuss Frankfurt's red light district and the train station district, which you may have already passed through when you arrived in the city.
All the main tourist destinations are visited on this tour, but also my personal insider tips that are often forgotten. These include, among others:
Thank you for your interest in my tour and I look forward to showing you around soon.

We meet at the advertising pillar to the right of the Old Opera House (Alte Oper). You can recognize me by my big afro ;)
Beautiful neo-renaissance style opera house. Destroyed in the war and rebuilt in the 70s. This is our starting point.
Large square in between the skyscrapers and the shopping streets. Has a large statue of the poet Goethe.
This is the house in which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born and where he grew up.
Birthplace of the united German state and the German democracy.
Culinary market hall with authentic food from our region.
Former place of the coronation of the emperors of the holy roman empire. Also contains relics of the apostle St. Bartholomew.
Center of the medieval old town with the historic town hall and half timbered houses. Probably the most beautiful place in the city.
Historic iron bridge over the river main linking the old town and the quarter of Sachsenhausen.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
