Oleg was a wonderful tour guide! He was knowledgeable about the history of places and people we visited, he was very polite and accommodating to my requests, and helpful with recommendations on restaurants and additional places to visit outside of our tour. I can highly recommend him as a private tour guide and this particular tour!

I really enjoyed my tour with Oleg. He is super friendly and his english is excellent. He was able to take me to several places I wouldn’t have visited on my own. He also was able to give me some great recommendations for eating and shopping. The great thing about Oleg and this tour is that he can help you order things if you’re interested in shopping or eating. He even helped me purchase a wedding present for a friend whose wedding was that night. I recommend this tour during your first few days in Frankfurt as it will help you figure out what to do during your remaining days. Oleg was also able to help me figure out where to buy an adapter since I didn’t bring one and couldn’t find one anywhere. Highly recommend this experience!

Very informative tour covering all the history of Frankfurt city! Oleg was very knowledgeable and knew his stuff. Everything was so close to see.

This was a great way to learn some of the history of Frankfurt while walking around the city. Oleg did a fantastic job mixing the history with current life in the city by taking us through markets and shops for short visits. The weather was cold and rainy, but Oleg combined indoors and outdoors with the perfect combination to keep us fairly dry and warm. He recommended a few restaurants that looked great, and we tried one of them that turned out well.

Me and my girlfriend had an awesome experience with Oleg, he took us to the iconic places in Frankfort, talked about the history and his personal experiences. I highly recommend this tour.

Oleg arranged a wonderful tour in Frankfurt for our group. He showed us both the historical and business districts of the city and its hidden gems. Also, he got us familiar with interesting facts about the local cuisine. Oleg is a competent and knowledgeable guide with full respect for us. I highly recommend booking tours with Oleg.

Right when the tour started, it didn't feel like we were being guided by a local; there was no charisma or energy to our guide's commentary. It sounded more like a Wikipedia description of the city and landmarks rather than an insider's view. He had difficulty communicating in English, and we mostly just nodded that we understood what he was saying (out of respect). Throughout the tour, he also suggested several dining options that were clearly tourist traps. We felt extremely awkward the entire time and he made no attempt for us to feel like we could blend in as part of the city or culture. We expressed to him, quite early on in the tour, that we were feeling very tired and asked if we could cut the tour short (2 hours instead of 3). He said sure, but he ended up dragging it on and we were still out for the whole duration anyway. We felt uncomfortable the entire time. He also made insensitive and disrespectful remarks about minorities and people of color, claiming that they were poor and couldn't afford to live downtown. I thought that we would get a much higher quality experience based on the existing reviews and price point, but we were sorely disappointed.

Oleg was very accommodating to us - we walked at our own speed, skipped things we weren’t interested it, and stayed as long as we wanted at those places that fascinated us. Highly recommend touring with Oleg!

coryh719

Oleg was a fantastic guide! Excellent communication leading up to the tour, met me at the airport during my layover, and gave an awesome, informative and absolutely unforgettable tour of Frankfurt. We explored so much in our couple of hours, I feel like I got a very comprehensive look at the city and its amazing history. Highly recommend to anyone with a short time in Frankfurt to experience a lot of this intricate city.

TatianaChirila

Highly recommend this tour to anyone having just one day in Frankfurt. Oleg made us feel like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. He effortlessly navigated us through the bustling streets, sharing fascinating historical facts and stories along the way. Grateful for Oleg's guidance, expertise and professionalism.
