Felix knows so much about architecture, food and other countries. He went way over the time limit and did not even try to charge us - in fact, he actually bought us coffee! Other guides have brought us to restaurants when we did not want to spend time eating and then expected us to pay. We asked Felix if we could grab something to eat and he actually tried to pay! Of course, we did not allow that and we gave him a well deserved tip. Thanks Felix!

My tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city of Frankfurt and the food. It was a very pleasant experience, the food very tasty, and the pace non stressful. I did the tour with 2 stops for food. It was a lot to eat in a short period of time, basically 2 full meals in 3 hours. Also the price was a bit excessive even with the food and the time spent with my guide. My excellent review rating is for the quality of the food and tour experience.

Hot Rod Sightseeing in Frankfurt Germany is fantastic! Our fantastic guides fluently spoke multiple languages. They took extra care of each person in our group. Even if you have never driven a go cart, you can still do this! Honestly, our entire group was in awe! This activity is fantastic! Thank you for such a great time!!!

Alexandra is an excellent tour guide!. She is versed on the history of Frankfurt which included details that only a local can provide. Alexandra is friendly, and I appreciated her reaching out prior to the tour to ask about my interests. She was on time and highly recommend her.

Nice way of getting to know the night life of the city and meeting new people!
