Frankfurt: Private Sightseeing Tour in Retro Ape Calessino

Frankfurt: Private Sightseeing Tour in Retro Ape Calessino

"Sunset" We first "cruise" along the banks of the Main with a stop at the Iron Bridge, where lovers can immortalize themselves with a love lock on the railing. The "Eiserne Steg" is the pedestrian bridge, which is generally already called the bridge of love and connects the Main river banks of Frankfurt's old town and Sachsenhausen. After that we drive to a nice place to watch Sunset before we go back over the Main bridge. The view of the skyline at dusk will leave you speechless. Ape Tour "Apfelweintour" This Ape Tour is all about apples. If you think of Frankfurt, apple wine comes to mind, also called "Äppelwein, Äppelwoi" or "Äppler" for short. Since the later Middle Ages, Frankfurt has been a city of elections and coronations, with the "imperial orb" being the status symbol of a German emperor alongside the crown and scepter. The way of the emperors led from the cathedral to the Römer. With the "new" old town, this "coronation path" can be experienced again. We will end the tour on the "Lohrberg", in a way the highlight of the city in the green with a spectacular view of the skyline. Frankfurt's highest park (190 m above sea level) shows a Frankfurt as no one would suspect. Frankfurt's wine grows here, and the Main Äppel Haus is a large orchard area where you can learn all about apples. Of course, the enjoyment of a cider is not neglected :-)

Very informative tour from start to finish. Gave a real understanding of Frankfurt since its inception, right up until the modern day. Tour guide Hannes (maybe incorrect spelling sorry) was exceptionally good. He articulates everything well and has some personality (which i’ve found hard to come by in previous tours elsewhere). Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Frankfurt!
