What To Expect

This private tour begins with a hotel pickup in Nuremberg. Meet your guide for your tour and then roam through the city’s Old Town, admiring the beautiful timber-framed houses and cobblestone streets. Marvel at the massive City Walls of Old Town Nuremberg, which still run for approximately 2.5 miles (four kilometers).

Behind the walls, walk past the Craftsmen's Courtyard, where glass cutters, leather workers, gold and silversmiths, stained-glass painters and other artisans offer their wares for sale. See the gothic St. Lawrence Church, which was rebuilt after World War II; Nürnberger Hauptmarkt; plus German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer's house, and the Imperial Castle courtyards, to name just some of the attractions.

Along the way, learn about the history of this beautiful and prosperous city—as the center of the Holy Roman Empire, to the days of the German Renaissance, the Temple City of the Third Reich, and the home to both the Nazi rallies and Nuremberg Trials.

See where German Emperors were crowned and where saints are buried. Find where the most famous and talented German artisans in history created their awe-inspiring works and where the colorful and lively markets have taken place for almost 700 years.

Then, for the 3- and 4-hour tours, head out to see the Nazi party rally grounds. Discover the Great Street, designed by architect Albert Speer to be the central axis of the rally grounds, and the half-finished Congress Hall of the Nazi Party, a building Hitler planned to use for party meetings. There’s also the largest Third Reich buildings, where Hitler inspected members of the SS, and the Documentation Center, a museum with exhibits on vital wartime and post-war events, like the Nuremberg Trials.

This private tour is a customized experience, so be sure to include any specific requests and desired attractions to the guide at any time.

The tour concludes with a hotel drop-off in central Nuremberg.

Fun, engaging, educational tour of Nuremberg

Mitchell_G, Oct 2023

Natasha was terrific! We had a three hour tour of Nuremberg city center and out to the Rally Grounds and Zeppelin Field. Right off the bat, she asked what our priorities were so she could customize our tour accordingly. She was very knowledgeable of all of the areas but also freely admitted anything she didn’t know (mostly silly trivia). She was fun and engaging. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Great tour of Nurenburg

Perfect Tour for Parents with Older Teens

Mary_S, Jul 2023

Our tour guide Jason was extremely knowledgeable and helped us gain an understanding of Nuremberg’s history and how it shaped the current times. Our two teenagers (18 and 16) were engaged the whole time and asked lots of questions which Jason happily answered . All four us agreed that it was enjoyable and educational, and the perfect way to get oriented with the city.

Excellent

Belinda_C, May 2023

Jason was a wonderful tour guy. We got to see the things that we wanted to see in the old town and it did not see rally grounds. We had been to Nurenberg before and had seen the courthouse, so we elected not to see that this time. Jason was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating to our desires. We would highly recommend this tour.

A Great way to see the ins and outs of Nuremberg

She covered both in depth about the old Town as well as taking us around the Nazi grounds on the other side of the city. We HIGHLY recommend this tour!! BRAVO!!

This was a great way to see the old town and learn about the history of Nuremberg. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgable about the city as well as the Nazi party grounds and the history of the city itself. It is a lot of walking but if you know this in advance then you will love it!
