The executioner is really grandiose, the show informative and very entertaining. The executioner's voice and physical appearance are just perfect. The acting talent unique! Too bad it was still so bright (8:30 p.m.). So it's best to book as late as possible, that increases the scary effect even more. Definitely 5 stars from us. Must have participated!!!

I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know the spooky history of Frankfurt. The guide told everything very authentically and put a lot of effort into it. We had lots of fun! Thank you for the great tour.

Great, spooky guided tour with a genius-cruel guide. Since I myself have a theater education, I take my hat off to gestures, facial expressions and language. We recommend.

Very well done guide. Definitely not a boring tour. Very authentic and lots of interesting information

Nice mix of excitement and comprehensive information!
