    The guide was extremely knowledgeable about Nuremberg and the unique characteristics that make doing a structured tour so worth it!

    No one better than Fratello Tours in Nuremberg!

    Such an informative and well catered tour route with everything you would wanna learn about and see in the city!!! Darius was hands down the best host and tour guide with an incredible vibe and such energy throughout the entire day! The beer tasting at the end was the perfect exclamation point on a perfect day of sightseeing and history learning! I would recommend any and every one to do this tour!

    Darius is very well-informed & makes the history interesting. It was a cold day and we moved at the perfect pace. Plenty of photo opps & we really enjoyed it! Highly recommend this tour!

    Excellent Tour!!!!

    Benjamin_P, Dec 2025
    This was an awesome tour! Private tour type of feel with someone who has lived in or around the area for a long time. Always good to know the in and outs of an area from a local. Made solid recommendations of things to do and eat to ensure we get the full cultural experience. This may be a little more pricey than some of the other options out there, but I can assure you it’s worth the money!!! You get what you pay for!!

    Fantastic tour with Darius!

    Darius was fantastic. Very friendly and welcoming. He knows the area welll, having grown up next to the castle. Darius is very knowledgeable, and provides a great story and view into how the city was formed along with the castle. I thoroughly enjoyed his tour and I would highly recommend.

    Darius is the best. Very knowledgeable, varied stops, gives you lots of ideas to check out for the rest of your stay in Nuremberg. Take this tour day 1 of your stay and he'll give you the perfect intro to the town and history!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you very much for your visit Josh! It was a pleasure :) God bless

    One afternoon with Darius! A must do!

    Sabina_A, Sep 2025
    Fantastic tour! We were a small group of 4 . Darius was our tour guide’ and it was as if we had a friend in town. He was born and raised in Nuremberg and he knows everything about his home town. The walk from the fortress to the cathedrals was pleasant, relaxed and at each stop Darius shared with us his knowledge of the history of this beautiful medieval town. He pointed out where to eat, to drink, to shop! He treated us for a sweet and then for a beer in a traditional brewery ! I highly recommend this tour with him! Bravo!!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much Sabina! We have had a great time together and i learned as well a lot from you. Kind regards Darius

    Wear comfy shoes & be comfortable with hilly Nuremberg, but it was well worth it!

    Sarah_W, Sep 2025
    Go early & stop for a pint & some food at Hexhausle - the adorable little meeting point at the castle. Darius was super outgoing, very informative, engaging & accommodating. We had no set plans when spending the day in Nuremberg so I booked this tour 4 hours before on the train in from Munich & the whole group of 6 were glad we did. Highly recommend completing this tour with Darius before any tours of the cellars to enhance your understanding of the mentioned artifacts & history. Some of the sights (bridges) were under construction, but we still got the story behind the area & locations. I do only wish the beer came more towards the middle of the tour instead of the end, but logistically made sense based on the walking loop. Overall fantastic experience that really made our day trip. Especially recommend if you only have 1 or 1 + 1/2 day in Nuremberg - you'll see just about everything in Old Town & get a great history lesson too.

    Our tour guide Darius was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and had awesome energy that made our experience very memorable. Excellent English and made an effort to make sure we all enjoyed the experience.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much guys! I enjoyed the afternoon with you🙏🏻😃 God bless

    Darius is multi lingual, knows history and the city.

    Brian_B, Sep 2025
    Our group was three couples. Native Germans, Americans and a two nationality couple. Darius took time to explain and answer questions in two languages and offered some Romanian phrases as well. He was raised in Nuremberg and has many family and friends here and connections and recommendations outside the historical city area. His walking tour took time for breaks and he shared details that weren’t in the tourist brochures. We all recommend him as your walking tour guide, and he picked us up at the hotel near the train station and saved us a 20 minute walk uphill to the historical city entrance.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much! It was a pleasure having this experience with you :) Kind regards Darius 👋🏻😃
