Andreas did a wonderful job! He asked us upfront what our preferences were for the day and tailored everything to our needs. We even had a lovely lunch with him! He was prepared, knows his Nuremberg history, and explained in depth in areas that were of particular interest to us. He was also just a pleasant person to spend the day with! Highly recommend!

    Excellent WWII History

    Excellent Private Tour of Nuremberg!!

    James_D, Oct 2026
    This private tour was very interesting, and our guide Andrew (Kelz) did a wonderful job of explaining the history of Nuremberg both during the WW2 but also post war and current. Nuremberg has very steep streets and Andrew was very understanding and paced the tour to suit our physical condition. Visiting the Nazi rally grounds and the Palace of Justice allow us to step back in time to experience what it must have been like during the war. We love private tours since it allows a detailed view of the subject matter, as well as time to learn about the tour guide's own personal history related to the area. Thank you, Andrew, for a wonderful experience.

    Enjoyable interesting tour

    Ken_B, Oct 2026
    Andreas was an excellent guide, knowledgeable about the subject matter and entertaining. We toured the Nazi monuments in Nuremberg near Zeppelin Field and would highly recommend this tour.

    This is a must do tour, Andreas passion for his hometown really shows through, his knowledge and background research is fantastic. Thank you Andreas from the six of us, we had a great day out.

    10/10 Recommend

    Rylee_S, Sep 2026
    If we could give him more than a five star rating, we absolutely would! He was the perfect tour guide—fun, incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely proud of Nuremberg. His love for the city came through in every story he shared and every place he showed us. He made us feel completely comfortable asking questions and was so kind and personable throughout the entire tour. The three of us truly enjoyed spending the day with him, and he made our visit to Nuremberg one we will always remember. Highly, highly recommend! Sidenote: he used this historical photo book to show Nuremberg after the war and then thirty years later... And showed us the bookstore that he had bought it at years ago. We went in after the tour and found it's put of print, but they had one signed copy, and we were able to get it for our dad, who hasn't been to Germany but has always wanted to go.

    Judy_H, Jun 2026
    Nuremberg is a lovely city filled with incredible history and so much to see. Andreas was a fantastic tour guide who came prepared with interesting stories and photo books to illustrate significant events from the past. I was traveling with family with ages ranging from 30s- 80s, and Andreas allowed us to modify our itinerary to accommodate the older travelers. I cannot say enough good things about Andreas' flexibility, warm and pleasant nature, and incredible patience when dealing with all of us, in addition to his deep knowledge of Nuremberg! If you are considering a walking tour of this beautiful city, do yourself a favor and connect with Andreas as your guide. Your trip will be so much richer for it.

    One of a kind gem of a Guide

    Janis_H, Jun 2026
    Andreas, from the Nuremberg Free Walking Tour, offered us a very personalized and fun day exploring Nuremberg. His passion for history and knowledge really made the experience transformative. My son, Andrew, and I connected with him easily at the Nuremberg train station (he flexed to our train arrival time from Munich), and the day exploring the area was awesome! He modified the routing to maximize our time at the Rally Grounds (Documentation Center Nazi Party Grounds Museum), Nuremberg Court House (Trials/Museum), and the Kaisenburg Imperial Castle. His local knowledge allowed us to really enjoy the day. We saw St. Sebald's Cathedral (couldn't enter since the holiday). Lunch was authentic and a local favorite (3 sausages on a roll). We capped the day with some tasty gelato. HE WAS AMAZING!! We wouldn't have had the same experience without his guidance. Note: He displayed acts of kindness multiple times and that just made it even better.

    Historical tour that surpassed all expectations

    Martin_R, May 2026
    Our guide Andreas asked us before we set off what we were most interested in and helpfully tailored our half day tour accordingly. We were keen to visit two important sites in the history of the third reich: the former Nuremberg rally grounds and the Nuremberg trial courtroom. Our knowledge was greatly expanded through these visits and we gained valuable insights from our guide. We also enjoyed something of life in contemporary Nuremberg and very much enjoyed riding on the underground system and bus network to reach these sites. Along the way we really enjoyed the chance to ask questions of an historical and contemporary nature and receive thoughtful, informed replies. This tour simply made our day and lasting memories of our visit to Nuremberg.

    Australians in Nuremburg.

    Angella_B, May 2026
    A fantastic private tour of Nuremburg. It was everything we wanted to see and more. Andreas was a fantastic friendly and knowledgeable guide. He made our time in Nuremberg easy and fun. Thoroughly recommend this tour by a born and bred local guide. Do yourself a favour and book a tour with Andreas especially if you are a history buff. Thankyou Andreas from Australia.

    Wonderful tour with an amazing guide!

    Lmomc, Apr 2026
    We spent the morning with Andreas on 4/22/26. He was great. Professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, organized. We saw everything on the list that was mentioned. And, at the end of the tour he even escorted us to a recommended museum in time for a video that he knew we would enjoy. I would highly recommend this above a group tour. Don’t hesitate!

    Great mix of history, from Middle Ages to WWII

    Eric_H, Apr 2026
    We had a great tour with Andreas! He was able to answer all our questions, and the tour included tram and bus transit to the rally grounds. The walk through historic Nuremberg was the highlight, and we even got a great dinner recommendation from Andreas! Highly recommended.

    My guide Andreas has a wealth of knowledge about the history and customs of the city - I found it very informative. The tour was conducted at a relaxing pace. I want to return to Nuremberg for another visit!

    Insightful and Well-Curated Nuremberg Tour

    Priyanka_J, Mar 2026
    Andreas was my guide in Nuremberg and took me through the rally grounds and the Old Town; gave me a strong historical and cultural overview of the city. He adapted the tour to my specific interests and shared detailed, contextual explanations throughout. He also suggested meaningful ways to explore the city for the rest of my stay—overall, a very well-curated and enriching experience.

    Old town overview

    RubyRose_Y, Feb 2026
    Took a 2 hour walk tour with Andreas. The weather wasn’t cooperating (snowed and was raining). Andreas arrived on time and knew the history of the Old Town. He encouraged us to ask questions (and we had a lot). He allowed us to have some time in some churches and say some prayers. Overall, our tour was good, enough history and a good walk. Nuremberg is a beautiful city and Andreas allowed us to have a concise glimpse of it.

    Andreas did a great job...

    Mwongeli_M, Dec 2025
    Andreas did a great job explaining and being incredibly flexible in squeezing me in his schedule. It was only a 2hr tour but he pointed me in the right direction to continue the tour on my own. Oh! One of the cool parts is when we were at the castle and he pointed out the landmarks the Nazis used and had a book with after the war and after the rebuild. It was nice getting perspective.

    Excellent walking tour of the Old Town

    Ralph_G, Dec 2025
    We had a fantastic walking tour with Andreas. He is very knowledgeable and makes it a fun, interesting and educational experience. He was great with our kids (age 10 and 7) who learned a lot as well. Highly recommended!

    Great tour! Very well...

    Ryan_W, Dec 2025
    Great tour! Very well educated on the city and got to see all of the must see spots. We even did our tour when it was dark and it was still great.

    Amazing Experience!

    Adam_S, Dec 2025
    Andreas did an amazing job guiding us around the Old Town! HIGHLY Recommend if you visit to do this.

    A great overview of the history of Nuremberg

    Ruth_C, Dec 2025
    We had a private tour of the old town with Andreas. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. He took us into buildings we would not have known about. We stopped at a quiet place for a coffee and he showed us many old photographs.

    Perfect private tour

    Rene_R, Dec 2025
    We spent 2.5 hours on a private tour with Andreas. As a local, he shared the history of Nuremberg, took us to see some hidden gems, and shared stories from his grandfather who also grew up in Nuremberg. He spoke excellent English and we really enjoyed his personality.
