  • this guide was very fun, but he was walking very fast. We barely managed to catch up with him. He did not wait to get together to start telling, but he only spoke to those who walked fast to him.
    The excursion is very good, but it is very tiring

  • Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He shared a lot of details about the sites and history of the city that kept things interesting but did not over do it, he struck a very good balance. Highly recommended.

  • It was easy to fund the location where we meat our guide Chris was amazing he made it all fun and relaxing at the same time . He took his time to explain and answer any questions we had I will difentaly recommend the tour .

  • This tour is HIGHLY recommended. Our guide was Australian and spoke fluent English. He was well-informed and kept us moving and flexible when my friend and I wanted to leave the tour early.

  • Brilliant 2 hour tour fully in English from a very nice tour guide from Australia. Highly recommended for the cost.

  • Hard to follow the guide: We were 3 persons and we found the guide at the train station as per the instructions. Then he told us to wait there for the rest of the group. After 10 min we realized that the tour guide disapeared and we had to start the tour by our owns...

  • The guide was pleasant but the lack of depth in history was apparent. His explanation of the Holy Roman Empire was "it's complicated". I abandoned early.

  • CHRIS from Australia made a lighthearted tour with all the history required in the 2 hour walk

  • Our guide was excellent - well worth it!

  • Our tour guide was simply great. He told us where the entrances were to the churches and that a donation was requested so I was able to go back on my own to all three churches and enjoy them. I liked his lunch recommendation so much that I ended up eating there three days in a row! He gave me lots of information that made the rest of my stay in Nuremberg more enjoyable like showing me on the map where some of the other things to do were located and recommending spots for dinner. The tour was small too, only three of us plus our guide so it was very personal. Highlights of the tour for me were the castle and the clock on the square at noon. I decided to extend my trip and do the Rally grounds as well and was able to pay the difference in cash. This was a great walking tour. I would absolutely recommend it.
