Frankfurt am Main how many days

The summary of my itinerary is, flights to Munich, 5 nights in Munich, 3 nights in Nuremberg, 1 in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, 2 in Würzburg, 1 in Erfurt, 3 nights/2 whole days in Frankfurt am Main, flight back to Michigan from Frankfurt. I had only added Erfurt because of the old synagogue turned into a museum but if I see enough Jewish related sights in my other other places, maybe I could acquiesce to skipping Erfurt. In Frankfurt if I joined a group tour leaving at 10am, that could last until 1 or 2pm, then I might barely have time to fit in the Jewish museum building and the outdoor exvavation, and for sure I want to at least see the Stadel museum because old landscape paintings, if there are any, are special. Usually I irrationally feel like old artifacts, for example in history or archaeology museums, are or should be special. I know logically that the most memorable sights or times are stuff seen outdoors.

Now I have 6 towns I am spending at least 1 night in. Should make a last minute change and delete Erfurt and add a 4th night/ 3rd whole day in Frankfurt?

Yeah I know I could have gone to just Munich, Nuremberg, and Berlin, and skipped the other places. Berlin needs 6 days to see well in my rough estimation. My trip is in a week from now. It is a solo trip.

If you go on the 10-13:30 tour in Frankfurt, you will have plenty of time to visit the Judengasse Museum afterwards. Make sure to visit the medieval Jewish cemetery next to it as it dates back to 1272. The museum will give you the keys and if you don't have a hat, they will give you a kippa to wear. If it is a Wed. head over to the WW2 bunker after your visit to the Judengasse where the Nov. 9th Initiative is open from 17:00-19:00. The next day gives you plenty of time to visit the Jewish Museum and then the Städel.

Keep in mind that many museums in Germany are closed on Mon.

Is it better to reserve the tour in advance or just show up and see if there is space?
