Frankfurt layover, tour guide?
 
New member here on my way to Alaska, I'll be passing through Frankfurt.
I arrive late on the 17th (this Tue.) and dept. on the 19th so have all day on the 18th to do some sight seeing...I love boats and stuff around the water so will probably do a river cruise at least...Any other suggestions...private/individual tour guides to help me make the most of my short stay?

Take a walking tour.

Thanks adrienne...looks like a fairly comprehensive 3 hour tour...one consideration is the weather...rain may be in the cards.

Bring an umbrella!

I did the tour in a hail storm! Be brave.

Well the hail storm did not last the entire time and we did sit it out in a cafe.

Thanks Adrienne...will take it under consideration.

A good portion of the tour is inside. And in part of the outside area the plane trees should offer covering. Don't worry - the guide will not have you dripping wet during the tour.
