About Us
"Frankfurt on Foot Walking Tours" is a small, privately run tour company that began offering tours in 2008 by husband and wife team, David and Jo Ator.
Frankfurt on Foot is one of the top-rated tours in Frankfurt on TripAdvisor with 853 reviews.
David and Jo are both history buffs from Columbus, Ohio, and as long time residents of Frankfurt, are passionate about showing off their adopted city to everyone who joins their tours. They each have their own unique view of the city, so no matter who you tour with, you will gain some special insights.
We believe the BEST way to see Frankfurt is the green way, walking on foot, going inside the many historic buildings of the city, feeling the history that infuses every stone that we walk over.
Our philosophy is to have each person who joins our tour wish that their visit to Frankfurt was longer.
All of our tours are conducted only in English. If you require a tour in a language other than English, we will be happy to send you links to our tour guide colleagues.
