A Taste of Frankfurt is a private culinary walking tour listed on Tours by Locals and led by the guide Silvia B. The route starts at the Kleinmarkthalle, Hasengasse 5-7, in central Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany, and lasts about three hours. The covered market is the first stop, where the guide introduces classic regional foods and helps participants choose stalls. The tastings named on the listing are Handkäs mit Musik, a sour-milk cheese served with onions; Frankfurter Würstchen, the city's well-known pork sausages; Grüne Soße, the cold herb sauce traditionally served with eggs or potatoes; and Bethmännchen, small marzipan sweets associated with Frankfurt. This gives a mainly savoury route with a sweet finish. After the market, the tour continues to a tavern in Sachsenhausen, the district on the south bank of the Main known for its traditional apple wine taverns. Because the tour is private, it is limited to the booking party, which allows the pace and choices to be adjusted. The guide fee is quoted at booking and varies with the group, and the operator asks guests to bring about EUR 25 (roughly $29) per person in cash to pay for the tastings, so the cost is split between the fee and the cash on the day. The listing includes the private local guide and help choosing stalls. Transport is not included, and the route is covered on foot, with the meeting point agreed at booking. Language, maximum group size and dietary substitutions are not specified in the summary, so vegetarians, vegans and visitors with allergies should discuss the menu with the guide beforehand; the Handkäs and sausage tastings in particular are not vegetarian. The Kleinmarkthalle is closed on Sundays, which should be considered when choosing a date, and the tavern stop gives an opportunity to try apple wine in its traditional setting.
