About this activity
Frankfurt City Highlights Tour (10am): Start your day with a sightseeing tour of Frankfurt by double-decker bus, showing you the many facets of the city including its mix of Baroque and modern architecture, lively plazas and impressive skyscrapers.
Listen to your audio guide as you cruise through the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment) and the sleek European banking center, marked by tall skyscrapers that characterize the city's imposing skyline. See the European Central Bank (Eurotower), the Stock Exchange, the Old Opera House and Goethe House, the former home of 18th-century literary genius Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe.
Admire the Romer town hall, constructed in the 15th century and once the site of celebrations during the elections and coronations of emperors. Continue to St Paul's Church, Frankfurt Cathedral (Gotischer Kirchturm) and Hauptwache, a famous Baroque plaza surrounded by modern buildings.
Rhine Valley Day Trip (11:15am): Your Frankfurt sightseeing tour is directly followed by a day trip to the lovely German countryside! You'll explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed part of the Rhine Valley, from Rudesheim to Sankt Goarshausen.
Travel by air-conditioned coach past romantic villages, pretty vineyards and medieval castles all spread across the massive valley, which stretches 766 miles (1,232 km) from Switzerland to the North Sea.
Stop at a riverside restaurant for lunch (included) before continuing to Sankt Goarshausen, where you'll board a steamer boat for a relaxing Rhine River cruise. Pass iconic Loreley Rock along the way.
Back at the harbor, disembark and head to a wine shop for a wine-tasting session. Sample local wines and learn about local winemaking, and then take time to explore the town's wine bars and shops at your leisure.
On the way back to Frankfurt, stop in Rudesheim to briefly see the Drosselgasse, a 15th-century lane in Old Town. This narrow, cobblestone pedestrian street is brimming with lively restaurants, music venues, wine taverns and gardens.
You'll arrive back in Frankfurt around 7pm.

Reviews
The Rhine Valley Cruise trip was a big hit with our group. Lunch in small local restaurant and a beautiful cruise down the river were very relaxing.
The Rhine boat trip was excellent however the bus tour of Frankfrurt could have been longer and included stops but to accommodate this the tour would have to start a lot earlier than 10am.
My husband and I enjoyed this tour, the city bus was very informative and our guide on the other tour bus who took us to the Rhine was very informative as well. The food and wine tasting leaves a bit to be desired... I would recommend having an abbreviated menu of two or three things, not just basically breaded turkey and fries, and the wine tasting, I get they it's a tasting but if it can't be done more properly with pouring in glasses one at a time because there are too many people then it is a bit of a let down. If it's a rushed sampling (I hesitate to say tasting) then I imagine fewer people will be thinking of purchasing so maybe smaller groups so that a real tasting could be done. Otherwise enjoyed the main part of the trip, the Rhein
The trip was amazing! We now have many good memories to take home with us. Our tour guide Michael had a great sense of humour and made us laugh many times. In addition to being very informative and professional, Michael was also incredibly polite and friendly! Our tour was very well organized. We had enough time to see all the good sights. I highly recommend this tour.
It was a great way to see a few places in a short trip. The wine tasting was more about selling wine to us than wines tasting in a U.S. Vineyard which is an event in itself but I enjoyed the day.
The tour was a very poor offer. First, we had the City Tour, with ended up to be a Hop-on an off bus, that lasted only 30 minutes. We then hay to wait 30 more minutes for the River tour. After driving for half hour, we had to stop at a gas station for 25 minutes for a passenger that was left. After the driver created a lot of expectations we arrived at the Anchor restaurant for lunch, the food was worst than at a fast food. Service was awful. They only gave us a plain plate with frozen french fries and a small piece of breaded turkey, no sauce no vegetables. Also, not even Tap Water or dessert were included in the luncheon. I was so shock that forgot to take a photo of the plate. The River cruise was not even a tour, we basically jump on a boat and when back and forth, for around an hour and only hear like 3 explanations. The wine tasting was a joke only 4 very little samples, 1/4 of a plastic shot glass - please see photo - that lasted less than 15 minutes. Then we had two more stops at a statute and stores at a town nearby the statue, it was dark and most of them were closed so we couldn't see anything. The driver, Michael, keep saying we were off season, and its like this. He also kept saying we are going to get a lot of traffic coming back to Frankfurt, something unexpected or at least we should have known in advance. He also made a lot of politically incorrect comments, like for example saying to one of the passengers, you Japanese? you like to take many photos, and she was actually from Hawaii. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.
This was a very enjoyable day trip! Especially the riverboat ride down the Rhine river....beautiful countryside and many castles!! The wine tasting at the end wasn't all that but the rest of the day was wonderful! Would definitely recommend! George was a great guide...very informative and also loved the ski lift ride down!! What a view!!
This was a good drive out to the Rhine Valley and a good riverboat ride back. Our guy was funny and informative. If there were anything to improve, I would suggest that the wine tasting include some decent wines and the lunch have better food.
