Full description
Enjoy a 1-hour walk through Frankfurt at night with a robed hangman as your guide. Follow your scary guide (if you dare) on a journey of discovery of Frankfurt's history and his bloody work. But while you listen to your guide, be aware, for he must finish his work and he has no time to waste because the devil is after him.  Start your journey into the past at the cathedral, where German kings and emperors were elected and crowned. Continue towards the bank of the Main where many culprits, mostly women, were drowned in the water. Finally, reach your final stop, the Römer, Frankfurt's famous Town Hall, where you will learn all about the Römerberg's gruesome past as the location of many medieval death penalty punishments and torture chambers.

Nachdem wir erst einmal (nicht geschockt, aber) irritiert waren, wie unser Guide auf uns zukam und wir uns an die Situation gewöhnt hatten, waren wir sehr begeistert von der Tour. Anschaulich und gruselig gemacht.... aber nichts für Menschen, die sehr zart besaitet sind und auch nichts für "kleinere" Kinder. Macht weiter so. Schauspielerisch eine gute Leistung.

Meine Frau und ich haben eine Einzelführung erhalten... der Henker war super! Super (sympathisch) gruselig und es hat sehr viel Spass gemacht, wir haben Dinge über Frankfurt und dem Henkerdarsein erfahren, die man so noch nie gehört hatte, mit viel Glück haben wir den Abend überlebt... Neugierieg? Ich kann's empfehlen!

Der Gastgeber (Henker) hat eine tolle Stimme und geht total in seiner Rolle auf, klasse. Es war interessant, gruselig und alle hatten Respekt vor dem Henker. Keine stinknormale Stadtführung. Nichts für zartbesaitete. Wir haben überlebt, vielen Dank 😊
