Leuke en interessant tour door Neurenberg

Lenneke_O, Jul 2024

Hele leuke gids, die de verhalen goed vertelde en veel over de geschiedenis wist. Je ziet ook best was van Neurenberg. Houd er wel rekening mee dat er staat dat de tour 90 minuten duurt, maar bij ons duurde het bijna 2 uur (ook vanwege de regen).

Response from Host, Jul 2024

The tour description clearly lists the tour duration as 90 minutes to 2 hours. I'm sure you also know that we have no control over the rain (or weather in general).
