A small-group tasting walk through central Frankfurt and Sachsenhausen, combining Apfelwein, Handkäs, and other Frankfurt specialties with commentary on the city's food history.
Secret Food Tours, an operator running small-group culinary walks in cities across Europe, leads this three-hour tasting walk through central Frankfurt and into Sachsenhausen. The route stops at five to six independent eateries along the way, mixing savoury Hessian staples such as Handkäs mit Musik and Frankfurter Grüne Soße with Apfelwein tastings and at least one sweet finish, so the itinerary balances both courses rather than skewing entirely savoury. The price includes all food and drink tastings sampled at each stop plus a local guide who narrates the city's culinary and social history between venues; it does not include a full sit-down meal beyond the tasting portions or transport, since the route is covered entirely on foot. Groups are capped at a small size, generally under twelve guests, and the tour runs in English at a walking pace with regular stops of ten to fifteen minutes. Vegetarian and some other dietary substitutions can be requested at the time of booking so the operator can adjust venue choices in advance, though last-minute changes on the day are harder to accommodate given the fixed venue list.
