Rob was one of the best, most energetic, and pleasant guides I have had in a long time. I would personally like to thank Rob and his tour company for helping all of us on the tour and making it happen: there was a marathon happening in Nuremberg that day, so Rob was delayed due to the unexpected traffic and road closures. Even getting a taxi was challenging. Nevertheless, the company and Rob contacted us, gave us all lots of assurance and help, and we all got started and had a fantastic tour.
Rob knew a LOT about the Third Reich, Germany and WWII, and he had an excellent booklet of photos which helpfully illustrated his information. One piece of trivia I learned was that Bayer aspirin and the soda Fanta had Nazi origins--and they were my grandmother's favorites. She never took anything but Bayer and adored Fanta--she even drank it at breakfast!
Rob gave us lots of important background information about the important historic spots in Nuremberg. We saw the former documentation center and Nazi rally grounds, the zeppelin field, and finally the Nuremberg Palace of Justice and the famous Courtroom 600. Seeing all these places I have read about in history classes many years ago was so important to me. Rob made it happen and told me a lot about these sights I had either forgotten or never knew. Highly recommended tour--especially the visit to Courtroom 600. The Courtroom 600 tour has a very good cheap (1 euro) audio guide and the information-museum center is quite good too.

I can’t tell you how disappointing this tour was. Do not book this tour! Spend your money on a taxi and get to each of the sites on your own, because all the sites except Courtroom 600 are outdoors and on public property. Most have signage with historical information. But all the sites now have construction around them and haven’t been maintained, so there’s really not much to see. Our photos look nothing like the photos on this site from other reviews. Your time will be better spent learning about the city. We had a guide named Rob who was horrible. He was with a contracted company and had his own van. He refused to use the air conditioner in 90 degree heat in Nuremberg stating, “we going to be getting out frequently so no need.” Seriously? So apparently his gas is too precious to waste on his customers. Rob is from Brazil and speaks poor English. He was incredibly difficult to understand, not only due to his accent, but due to his sentence syntax “he be stupid and not the brains behind the SES…” and his pace of speech was ridiculously fast. An elderly gentleman in our group asked him 3 times to slow his speech because it was too fast, but he didn’t. Additionally, I will second what Helen stated in her review from several months ago that Rob doesn’t stay on topic and doesn’t have his facts straight about Hitler or WW2. One of his statements was “Coca Cola is Nazi company.” What? No, it is an American company and while it did provide coca cola to Germany before WW2, when the war broke out, Coca Cola cut off its supply to Germany.
Rob was dismissive and arrogant. At our first stop, we sat in a flea market parking lot near Congresshalle while Rob talked to us for 40 minutes about pre WW2 Hitler and passed around laminated plastic pictures. 40 minutes of listening to a bad accent and non-factual information! . It was 90 degrees in Nuremberg and we finally asked to get out of the van. He became angry at this. He also stated there was no restroom at this stop for one of the women who had to go badly, but we later learned there was a pay toilet in the middle of the flea market. Further, he stated the only restroom was at courtroom 600, which was in the last hour of a 4 hour tour! This simply was his choice and is not practical for most people to wait this long to use a restroom, especially for a tour which began at 9 am.
Finally, at Courtroom 600, WE HAD TO PAY TO GET IN!! This wasn’t included in the tour price! (If you’re a student, bring your student ID because every museum lets you in for a student price which is 2-3 euros. Rob took us to the desk and that was it. He told us to download the museum app to listen to the automated museum guide, then he went outside and waited in his van! Courtroom 600 had not only the courtroom, but another floor of a vast amount of information about the Nazis who were prosecuted after the war. You can spend a whole day or an entire morning or afternoon alone at this location, and most people on the tour opted to stay at Courtroom 600 beyond the tour-end time, so Rob did not have to return them to their hotel. So, in summary, take a taxi to the sites on your own and at courtroom 600, plan to stay for 2-3 hours and take a taxi back to your hotel. Taxis are plentiful and easy to use. The drivers are nice and most taxis hold 4 adults.
I will end by stating we have traveled to many countries all over the world and have used a variety of tour companies. We usually have very good experiences with these companies and give high ratings.. Although we’ve used Viator before, we feel their quality of contracted tour guides has gone downhill in recent years. It’s unacceptable to offer a tour “in English” and use someone like Rob who’s pronunciation and sentence syntax are so horrible. All guides should have to pass a written and verbal English test to give tours in English. I don’t know who passed Rob. But the worst thing about Rob was his rudeness.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review, but the other tour participants loved the experience—to the point where they complained about you and your family. In fact, only your daughter-in-law was extremely pleasant toward the Rob and other two participants and even apologized for your behavior.
Once again feel free to do that tour by your self and google the places
Because Knowledge isn't acquired on Google; here's the information about Fanta (Coca cola) that the guide Rob explains in the van.
Fanta was created in Nazi Germany—not by the Nazi Party itself, but by Coca-Cola's German subsidiary. Due to trade embargoes during World War II, the German plant could not receive the secret syrup from the U.S., leading to the drink's creation in 1940 to keep the business running. Recipe origin: It was made using ingredients available at the time, such as apple scraps, beet pulp, and whey. Name origin: The head of Coca-Cola in Germany asked employees to use their imagination (*Fantastisch* in German), which gave rise to the name.
It’s also common for people who dislike his very direct answers to always bring up his English—though, for the record, he communicates in five different languages. I wish you a wonderful vacation.

Unfortunately the description of the tour itinerary was not what we experienced. Our guide was knowledgeable but not necessarily on topic for the tour title. We did not get the opportunity for free time and entry into the Documentation Centre Museum. After our tour we googled some of the interesting and previously unknown historical facts we had learned from our guide. Again unfortunately they turned out not to be accurate. For the price of two adult tickets we could have used a taxi each way from our hotel to the four places and saved the price of one ticket.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review. Please feel free to take the tour on your own if you prefer to have free time.
if you check the tour description, you will see that the documentation center is not included.
Next time, try avoiding taxis, Uber tends to be a bit cheaper. Feel free to explore on your own, using Google as your guide.

Learned a few things to add to my already extensive knowledge of both places. Enjoyable getting to know the actual geography and layout
Sherry_H, Mar 2026
We learned so much from Rob's vivid explanations. It helped us understand the real history of Nuremberg which was hidden under the dark shadow.
Alison_N, Mar 2026
The guide, Rob, was very friendly and helpful. Had a good sense of humor and was engaging. Gave a lot of background information.
Very interesting to see the sites. Only 3 stars because one of the two main attractions (Zeppelin) was fully covered in scaffolding. Not much to see there. We felt the tour company could have informed us in advance as we likely would not have booked the tour because of the renovation.
Courtroom 600 was interesting to see, which includes a movie.
Good tour for people who have difficulty walking as sites are quite far from each other, if you have little time in Nuremberg or if you're not a history major. Very convenient to be picked up from the hotel and Rob was on time & prepared.
For others with more time, mobile and history buffs - it'll be a refresher of what you already know but you can do it much cheaper yourself.

Rob is a great tour guide. The tour was fill of WW2 information. I would definitely recommend the tour
Jacqueline_H, Dec 2025
We saw pertinent Nazi/WW2 sites. Our guide was very friendly; however, he spoke so fast and with such a heavy accent, that the four of us had trouble understanding him. I asked him to slow down, but he didn’t. He had lots of good information and we learned a great deal. We were given about 40 minutes at the 600 Courtroom. It is so interesting and there are so many good displays that we needed about 30 minutes more. This is an expensive tour and it was the only reason we went to Nuremberg. We are really happy we took this tour and we learned a great deal.
Jacqueline_N, Dec 2025
Informational and interesting. Well done. The guide was very knowledgable and enjoyed his job. Would recommend
Lee_R, Dec 2025
It covers the main areas. I liked that the court room was last there was a lot to see in museum so we stayed to seethe whole exhibit.
Winifred_L, Oct 2025
Seba was our guide, and he was outstanding. His knowledge was amazing and very interesting. Thank you Seba!😀
Richard_W, Oct 2025
This tour is not recommended.
Ostensibly conducted in English, we all agreed that the narration was almost impossible to understand (the guide's Italian accent was almost impenetrable, and frequent mispronunciations made things worse.
The guide's knowledge of the 'history' he was trying to relate was poor: this led to disputes with members of the tour group who often knew better than he did. His fairly aggressive manner left little room for dissent: at one point he said we thought he was lying!!
As an example of an outrageous claim he insisted on as truth was the Hindenburg 'disappeared', or - at the very least - no one could be certain what had happened to him. Of course this is incorrect: Hindenburg passed away at the grand age of 86 due to cancer. His remains are interred at Marburg.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for your review, but Richard the guide is not a liar, Everything he says on the tour is taken from different historical references, not from Google
and don't manipulate the information if you don't like it Hindenburg 'disappeared', or (got die), This is what he says every day during the tour and if you want to check this check it out in a historical reference,this information was taken from the book by William L. Shirer American journalist who writes about Adolf Hitler from the beginning to the end of the international courts.
the time when guest come here to google the tour and there's nothing to complain about, he always talks about the guide's English
We wish you greater and better searches.
Have a nice day
Catalina_P, Sep 2025
Very well organized, Rob was an excellent guide! He provided many tips that we didn’t know about the history of the WWII
Juanita_L, Jul 2025
The tour and information were excellent. Rob was enthusiastic and gave a lot of interesting information.
The pick up was a bit annoying and we started late, as we were asked to walk to a different hotel for pick up. Rob's skills really saved the experience. My son said it has been his favorite tour on vacation.
Glenn_C, Jun 2025
A great tour. Our guide Rob was amazing and very honest. Very knowledgeable and didn’t hide any facts.
Yelena_Z, Jun 2025
Ceba was well-versed in the history and offered insights you don’t frequently hear on a tour. I was fortunate because it was just me so we took our time. Honestly, this is a meaningful tour for anyone interested in this history, or international law, or human rights issues. The courthouse was where we spent the majority of the time…I could’ve used several more hours. I highly recommend getting immersed.
Ted_W, May 2025
This was a great tour, well put together and informative. Hotel pick up was on time, the mini bus comfortable. The tour guide (sorry I have forgotten his name, but he was Brazilian), was exceptional, he really knew his subjects, and one of the best guides I have had. Highly recommended.
Symon_N, May 2025
From the start our tour guide Rob, was really enthusiastic and loved to share his vast knowledge and experience of Nuremberg and the Nazi WWII sites, very engaging with us as we shared our knowledge of the sites and WWII history. Not rushed around so you could take in the historical importance of the tour and time for photographs. We would definitely recommend Rob and his services to all our friends and family. First Class.

I recently took the Nuremberg WWII Tour, Courtroom 600, and Third Reich Sites with Rob as my guide, and it was absolutely outstanding. Rob’s deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and passion for history brought the past to life in a way that was both educational and deeply moving.
From the Nazi Party Rally Grounds to the historic Courtroom 600, Rob provided fascinating context, detailed explanations, and answered every question with expertise. His ability to connect historical events to their broader significance made the tour incredibly impactful.
What set Rob apart was his respectful yet engaging approach—he made complex history accessible without oversimplifying. The visit to Courtroom 600, where the Nuremberg Trials took place, was particularly powerful, and Rob’s insights added immense value.
If you’re looking for a well-researched, thought-provoking, and immersive WWII tour, I couldn’t recommend Rob more. His professionalism and enthusiasm made this a must-do experience in Nuremberg. Five stars without hesitation!
Gillian_L, Mar 2025
If you are interested WW2, the period after the war and the Nuremberg war trials, then this one is for you. Rob was a good tour guide with lots of information.
Michael_D, Jan 2025
Great guide and a fascinating tour. Rob was very friendly and knowledgeable with great explanations of all the sights
Kathleen_H, Jan 2025
Excellent tour -not to be missed! Rob was great and very knowledgable. His side stories made for interesting anecdotes!🙂 The Courtroom was closed because of the holiday, but it didn’t seem to matter. We saw it all! Highly recommend!
Kim_L, Dec 2024
Rob was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had a nice vehicle for our small group of 8
Rug up in Winter as alot of the tour is outdoors besides the Courthouse etc
Rob_V, Dec 2024
Rob was a great guide. Provided a lot of information that gave insight into what happened at all of these sights. Such a somber place needs someone like Rob to tell the stories historically, respectfully, and with context.
Maria_C, Nov 2024
We could not be picked up at our Viking cruise ship so we were forced to cancel without a refund. We are extremely disappointed and upset.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Sorry that doesn’t was our fault, at your ticket do you have pick up at NUREMBERG River Cruise, and you send a msg to us to do your pick up at Regensburg.
I give some alternative to you with but you didn’t like.
the guide was for 30 min at the River Cruise ship in Nuremberg looking for you at Vikings Cruise Ships but the tour was a non show because you was in Regensburg
Thomas_M, Oct 2024
The tour was fantastic, exactly what I was hoping for. Our tour guide (Rob) was fantastic and did a great job of making a very bleak subject matter entertaining. I had a great time and also learned a lot about both the significance of Nuremberg and the time period of the war. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
Michael_K, Oct 2024
We are WW2 history buffs so to be at these particular locations was amazing. Our feedback regarding the tour guide is that he can talk very fast and has a strong Brazilian accent. This is not personal: he is a great guy and we enjoyed him. But it was at time very challenging to keep up. Overall, I recommend this tour and tour guide.
Mary_M, Sep 2024
Seba was an awesome guide! He was very good with our group of 8 travelers making sure to communicate so that everyone understood the commentary. His knowledge of Hitler’s rise to power in the Nazi party, the rally grounds and the Nuremberg trials was vast! His charming personality was a big plus! Such an important part of the WWII history told in a comprehensive but compassionate way.
John_H, Jul 2024
Our tour guide spoke very loudly and rapidly. He was quite difficult to understand. The historic sites however were very interesting.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hello John
Your review is not fair with us.
First he should speak loud for all the group understand, rapidly him just speak like that on your tour because you make the tour start 30min late because you doesn’t was pontual at your pick up location
But thanks for your review
Britt_H, Jun 2024
Seba was a lively, helpful, and interesting guide. The places that we went were critical to understanding the history associated with the rise and the fall of the Third Reich. The guide made all the difference between what could have been a stale tour and was instead very much making the history come alive in a relevant way. I liked the way the tour took a nuanced approach to a complex topic.
