Niklas was a fantastic guide, equal parts educational and entertaining! Thank you for showing us around and all of the history you shared! Also gave us great recommendations for the remainder of our trip and other stops in Germany.

Our guide Niklas was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the history of the site and of Germany generally. He added colorful stories from his family history that illustrated the effects and consequences of the events that occurred at the various locations we explored. He really made the history come alive in a way that just wandering the site alone would never have provided.

    We LOVED our tour with Nick! He was so incredibly knowledgeable about all things Nuremberg and WWII. It’s a lot of walking but worth every step :)

    Niklas gave us a great overview of Nurnberg history... the good, bad and the ugly.

    Joe_P, Jul 2025
    Niklas was a terrific guide. The meeting point was Nurnberg Train Station... sketchy area. Not kid freindly.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your five-star review! Like all train stations in German cities, Nuremberg train station attracts all kinds of people. But it is perfectly safe and we've never had an incident there.

    Wonderful Tour!

    Money well spent for an Excellent historical perspective

    Kate_R, Jun 2025
    Well run tour- both pace and perspective was spot on for our group. Dimitri was very knowledgeable and eager to customize the tour to our preferences. The private tour was an excellent way to cover an overwhelming amount of history in an afternoon. Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for highly recommending our tour and your positive review! Just wondering what it would have taken to get five stars?

    Learned a great deal in a short period of time

    Nicole_S, Jun 2025
    We took the three hour walking tour as a couple with our guide, Christoph. As a local, he was very well informed about the city and its transformation over the years, and we both gained a lot of information from him about Nurnberg. Our tour started inside the walls of the Old Town and then focused more on walking out to the Rally Grounds and that area, as we were familiar with the town after a few days’ stay. Christoph was friendly and flexible, and we had a great day with him.

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

    Eh. You can probably skip this one

    Stacy_B, Jun 2025
    Nuremburg was smaller than we expected and I feel you can download lots of walking tours and do this one without the tour. It was pricey for what it was.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Terribly sorry that Nuremberg (population 500,000) was smaller than you expected, our guides will try to make the city larger for our future tours. As far as downloadable audio tours, yes those are an option in every city for people who do not want to spend money for a fully guided tour with a qualified guide.

    First Visit to Nuremberg

    Andy_C, Jun 2025
    Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide was Natasha, and she was fantastic! We took our 3 kids and they learned a lot. This was a great way to experience Nuremberg for the first time!

    Our guide reached out before our tour and met us exactly on time. The tour was brilliant Natasha was a wealth of knowledge and had photos to show how things were and how they are now. I would highly recommend anyone coming to Nuremberg to do this tour you will not be disappointed it has been a highlight of our trip

    Really enjoyed our time with Nicklas touring the old city and the Nazi rally grounds. Nicklas was very informative and hit all of the key highlights on our tour. We enjoyed the private tour and the ability to go at our own pace.

    Nuremberg old nazi rally grounds and old city center

    jessica_C, Mar 2025
    This was a great experience for me and my teen. Touring the old Nazi Party Rally Grounds first. Dimitri was so knowledgeable and took us on the tram to the grounds. It was so impressive and having Dimitri explain the locations really took me back into history. My teen really enjoyed the presentation Dimitri had with the historical pictures and old propaganda. Then we took the bus to the old city center. We toured the Imperial Castle Nuremberg. Then we went around the old city seeing the bunker and museums, the gothic cathedrals, the gingerbread stores. He gave us a great recommendation for the Red Beer and good sausage. Totally worth doing!

    This tour was excellent! Dimitri picked us up at our hotel and took us everywhere we wanted to go. He was very knowledgeable and personable. One of the best guides I’ve booked through Viator. He gave us an excellent suggestion for lunch. I would definitely recommend this tour and especially recommend Dimitri

    Nick gave us a great tour of Nuremberg that included a good balance of history from WWII and the Holy Roman Empire. I can easily reccomend this tour for any history buffs and we appreciatied the resturant reccomantions at the end of the tour.

    The tremendous guide who went to great lengths to inform us (father with his three sons who are 41, 39, and 36 years old) professionally of the Third Reich tour. He did an outstanding job!
