    Thank you very much for your positive review!

    Touring Old Town Nuremberg Dec 2025.

    WendyLou_P, Dec 2025
    Although our guide was very knowledgeable regarding the history of Germany and Nuremberg, I felt his language at times and choice of photos he shared with the group were inappropriate.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Sorry to hear you thought the guide was at times inappropriate. I talked to the guide and he wasn't really sure what you were referring to and you also don't specify in your review what you thought was inappropriate. Germany is not a puritan or prudish culture and, to be honest, cultural differences are part of travelling.

    Old town Nuremberg

    Thank you for your review.

    Dimitri was Really Good! Thanks for answering all my questions ~

    C_W, Nov 2025
    ~ walking up steep hills! There was also a second half of the tour that some of us did not know about. A bloody shame ~ I wanted to try the red beer, sigh. We also passed a closed church because they were filming an English show. We saw the extras standing around outside. I laughed really hard because the knight when he walked, squeaked! His shoe/ foot coverings were rubber! Ha!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your review. Just to be clear, there is exactly one (1) not particularly steep hill (singular) on the tour.

    Randy_S, Nov 2025
    Hannes (“Johannes” minus the “Jo”) is a great guide; knowledgeable, funny, and helpful! The walk was fun and only slightly strenuous.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Glad you enjoyed the tour and thank you for your review!

    Fun and informative tour with Hannes

    Sandra_G, Jun 2025
    Hannes (Johannes) was an excellent tour guide. He was truly local flavor! He was fun and very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. We enjoyed the tour through old town Nuremberg and stopping for lunch. The tour of the rally grounds was interesting too. Great tour with Hannes. We highly recommend!

    Nuremberg old city and rally grounds

    Karen_S, May 2024
    Paul was an excellent tour guide full of excellent information and very passionate about the history involved. Highly recommend him

    Knowledgeable guide with poor planning

    Valerie_B, Apr 2024
    Guide was quite knowledgeable. He was opinionated and sometimes offensive. If he had managed time better we wouldnt have missed the once-a-day clock experience by 10 minutes.

    Funny, informative

    Bri_M, Dec 2023
    The tour was so good. We saw all the highlights of the town, but we weren't in a rush. Lots of climbing, but it was so fun!

    Nuremberg a city of gems

    Teresa_P, Dec 2023
    We enjoyed a wonderful and informative tour with Natasha our guide. It's a great way to see the old town and get your bearings. We returned to some of the signs ourselves at a later time to explore them more. Definitely will be back to Nuremberg again at another time of the year to explore further.

    Well worth it

    Margaret_c, Oct 2023
    Fantastic walking tour of the old town. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Even the rain didn't dampen her enthusiasm.

    Last minute fun

    Brian_L, Aug 2023
    Jeff was great…even in the rain! Hit sites we would not have even considered and he did a great job as a historian.

    Interesting introduction to Nurnberg

    William_S, Jun 2023
    The guide was Scottish but had lived in Nurnberg and was married to a local. She was knowledgeable and engaging. The old town part was very interesting.

    The guide was incredible!...

    Jessica_S, Jul 2022
    The guide was incredible! I would recommend him to all future visitors and had a wonderful time. I learned about the history and actually joined the afternoon tour as well since it was so good. I would love the guide’s information.

    This tour gives a perfect overview

    Sarah_G, Jun 2022
    The whole tour was memorable and very well explained. The guide was very friendly and funny. Would do it again

    Great tour

    Kaile_R, May 2022
    This tour was great, it was led by a man with a PhD in history so he really knew what he was talking about and he was able to answer all questions. When touring the old town he gave recommendations for food/wine/Lebkuchen and I had an excellent lunch at the restaurant he recommended. Then we went to Zeppelin field after the lunch break and we were given an in depth history of the Nazi rallies that took place there. It was very interesting and informative and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Great walking tour!

    Kara_B, Jul 2021
    We really enjoyed our walking tour of Old Town Nuremberg. Jason is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He made sure we had breaks if needed and that everyone was comfortable. We got a late start due to the train system, but Jason was careful to communicate with us very quickly about the delay. His German pronunciations and knowledge of the area inspire confidence. We would definitely book with this tour group again.

    Josh did a wonderful job explaining the city's history and handling our large tour group. He maintained good pace and waited for any stragglers to catchup before speaking and was very cautious and friendly interacting with everyone. He had displays to illustrate his explanations.

    Very Very good tour!!!

    Joseph_F, Aug 2019
    So I forgot the tour guides name...an Australian guy getting his masters in history. Extremely personable, very knowledgeable, and very organized. I would definitely recommend a tour with this guy.

    Great experience

    Zlatka K, Jan 2018
    this guide was very fun, but he was walking very fast. We barely managed to catch up with him. He did not wait to get together to start telling, but he only spoke to those who walked fast to him. The excursion is very good, but it is very tiring

    Our guide Chris was very...

    Keith C, Dec 2017
    Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He shared a lot of details about the sites and history of the city that kept things interesting but did not over do it, he struck a very good balance. Highly recommended.
