7 Euros to ride around a crowded tram, and drink a bottle of apple wine. I was expecting a little naration with the ride, maybe a little history, info on traditions, etc.

This is the first time I felt the need to review an attraction that I have not experienced in person! I'll tell you why. We had chosen Frankfurt as the base for our Weihnachtsmarkt tour of Hessen. As tram lovers, it would be impossible for us to miss this tram. But there were a lot of things to consider, its... More

I would definitely recommend doing the tour when in Frankfurt, you can pick the tram up at various stops around the city and can purchase tickets on the tram. For 7EUR you receive a beverage and a bag of pretzels, plus the warmth of the tram for an hour. It's a good way to see the city without having to... More

They follow their route precisely, so you can use it for transit. And you get off your feet with a cold drink and cheerful German music to see the city. Lovely!!

This is a multi dimensional experience; a tourist trip, a chance to sample the local speciality - Ebelwoi and trip on an old tram; put it all together with a small group and it is great fun. There is a free Ebbelwoi as you board and you can purchase more as you go round. Take care, Ebbelwoi is potent and... More

We did the 2 hour tram ride through Frankfurt. While I did not expect a whole lot other than a tram ride, we were still disappointed. Sure, we did get a two hour ride but at night, other than while crossing the Main River, the sights and scenery is nothing special. We like Frankfurt a lot but this is just... More

Okay, so there isn't A LOT to do in Frankfurt, but the Ebbeiwei Express is a fun, cheap way to see the city and some of the buildings/skyline. Round Trip takes about 1 hour and they do give you a bottle of Apfelwein (which I have grown to quite like) and a bag of pretzels (tasty!) to match. This might... More

This tram costs 7 euro. Once you get on, it will lead you around the town: the tour takes about one hour. In the tickets, a bottle of applewine (or soft drink) and a pack of pretzels are included. Having a tour with it is a really good idea to start knowing the town, to taste the applewine, to have... More
