This post lists the best free walking tours you can take in Frankfurt, including self-guided tours and small group tours.

 


WHAT ARE FREE WALKING TOURS?

Free walking tours are technically pay-what-you-like tours. Instead of paying an upfront cost, you can pay the guide what you thought the tour was worth at the end. 

This means these tours are very popular and affordable and attract large crowds.  

So, for travelers who want to ensure an experience with smaller groups of people, we recommend paid small group tours

 

 

TIP: Take the popular hop-on-hop-off bus tour through Frankfurt for an easy mode of transportation that can help you cover more ground than you would while walking.
