Overview

Instead of taking a traditional tour of Nuremberg, pair up with a local guide for a private walking tour. It’s a new travel concept that’s more like exploring the city with a friend; before your private walking tour of Nuremberg, you’ll connect with the Lokafyer guide to chat about your interests. That means an experience that’s tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all tour.

Unbelievable Nuremberg Experience

Terry_D, May 2024

What an unbelievable experience we had in Nuremberg with our tour. Rene S. was a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge of the city was second to none. We booked him for five hours. We enjoyed conversation, food, drink and his hospitality.

Jason, The Best Nuremberg Tour Guide

Antonio_S, Mar 2024

Did a day trip to Nuremberg from Munich. I was fortunate to have been connected with Jason. The tour he gave me was absolutely wonderful. It was just me and him the whole tour, so it was very curated tour to say the least. In the beginning he asked me if there was anything I wanted to see with our 4 hour tour time, but I asked him if he could just to show me whatever he thought was best, and boy, did he deliver. He took me to some amazing sight seeing areas, provided great history lessons, and gave me future ideas for when the best time of the year to visit the area the next time I come down was. He gives you a tour of Nuremberg Castle and the surrounding area from the perspective of a German but considering he's American it made communicating with him about questions that I had super easier for me. We connected on a personal level immediately upon meeting and being a solo traveler and not being able to speak fluent German in the least, was incredibly refreshing. It really put me at ease during our tour. If you're looking for the best tour guide on Viator and you're in the Nuremberg area, Jason is your man!

Great local guide!

SharronSafford_F, Dec 2023

We really enjoyed our guide! He took us everywhere we wanted to go and added other gems to our day. He was fun and well informed. He made out day in Nuremberg great!

Peter our guide was...

Lynn_L, Dec 2023

Peter our guide was amazing . He took us through Nuremberg like a true friend pointing out little facts ,fun stories , and things we would have definitely missed had we done it alone . I highly recommend this tour and Peter as a guide !

Wonderful walking tour of Nuremberg

Cynthia_N, Dec 2023

Jason was a wonderful and informative guide. It was a great couple hours learning about Nuremberg. We learned lots of history and really enjoyed walking around the city.

Joyful

Melkuhn_A, Oct 2023

Jason was a very friendly local guide. We liked him a lot. We ask him to take us to architectural beauties of Nüremberg, also to show us his favourite restaurants and many other interesting places. He told us a lot of interesting stories. First time I used Lokafy, I will use it hopefully soon again. Thanks. This tour was fun.

American perspective of Germany

John_S, Sep 2023

Our guide was very accommodating. We particularly liked the fact that he was an American who lived in Germany for many years, so he understood both cultures.

Fun in Nürnberg

Renata_C, Sep 2023

Jayson was incredibly helpful and insightful. He made sure he understood what we wanted to see and went out of his way to make the experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jayson for anyone looking to learn more about Nürnberg or simply looking for a fun day out in a new city!

unreliable guide let us down just before the tour

Julian_E, Jul 2023

We came to Nurnberg for the weekend. The guide confirmed he would meet us. Then at 0835 for a 1000 tour he suddenly cancelled. No explanation. To compare this to other tours ... Booked a group guided tour of the old town, via tourist office, booked tour of the underground castle defenses, went to other museums. Everything was good and we had a great time with other tours during our weekend. All the other tours went ahead. I would not advise relying on this operator / tour if time is short.

Nuremberg Old Town

Allen_M, Mar 2023

Great day with a local. Manfred was very knowledgeable and took us to places like we were long lost friends. The tour was booked 3 hours, but lasted 6 including having a nice lunch and discussion local and international norms and politics. I had a great time, Learned a lot about Nuremberg and now have a friend. I certainly Recommend Manfred for future tours.

Great Tour in Nuremberg

Diane_W, Oct 2019

We were so lucky to get Sandra Chue as our tour guide on our private tour in Nuremberg. We had a lovely walk around the town with her as she gave us a detailed history of Nuremberg & pointed out the important buildings & churches. She is extremely knowledgeable & well informed on German history plus being a very interesting person herself. I highly recommend taking a private tour & asking for Sandra.

Awful. Waste of money.

Patrick_G, Oct 2019

In every town we visit we always hire a personal tour guide to help explain local cultures, customs, and history. The young lady we had, while she was nice, was absolutely awful as a tour guide. She was from Spain and didn't even speak proper German, so she couldn't read inscriptions on monuments for us. Nor could she fully speak English, as requested, so she didn't know how to properly express the things she was trying to say. She couldn't answer any of our questions, and was more interested in showing us shops and gardens vs the German history we were there to take in. I would give her a zero review if I could. I can not believe we wasted our hard working money on this tour. We are beyond dissatisfied.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hello Patrick, We apologize for the delay in responding to your review. We do not get automatic notifications for reviews on Trip Advisor. We'd like to extend our most sincere apologies for your experience in Nuremberg with us. This certainly is not the experience we want for our travelers. I am sorry to hear that your tour did not go as you expected. From your review, it seems as if perhaps you would have preferred a professionally guided tour rather than a Lokafy tour. In all of our information, we outline that we provide unscripted walking tours through a city with a local - just as you would see a city if you had a friend showing you around. Lokafy allows travelers to connect with locals, and learn about the city from their perspective; things like what it's like to live there, advice on their favorite restaurants, and also connecting on a personal level. As for the Lokafyer not being German, We screen applicants extensively but do not require them to be natives of the city. Generally speaking, we find our international Lokafyers have a special connection to their cities as they have chosen to call them home. As they are not professional tour guides, we do not require Lokafyers to have a detailed knowledge of the city’s history. We hope that the conversations you had with your Lokafyers helped you connect with them on a personal level. Regards, Vinita Lokafy.com

Think I saw everything

ajdresden2019, Sep 2019

Think I saw everything in the town. Sandra was very nice and helpful. In the beginning of the 3 hour tour I felt we had all the time in the world. Toward the end it felt rushed but that was due to my start time choice and not knowing things would close. However, to avoid this rush perhaps certain sites should be seen earlier than later. Sandra knows her script but at times can sound somewhat monotone, I suggest for Sandra to feel more of what she is saying, tell me more with excitement! Regardless, if you want to see where sites are and have someone to tell you the whats and when’s, then Sandra can do it. True rating 3.7, better than a 3, not exactly a 4.

Excellent guide. Would recommend any time. Sandra had excellent knowledge of the old town and was most accomodating with our change request.
