Walking Tour Done Right - Niklas was an AMAZING tour guide. Very informative and humorous. It was a great experience. A bit of a climb to the castle but definitely worth the calf workout.

Fantastic tour! - Nick was fantastic! Very informative and enlightening. Nick mixed humor with information, telling stories and making points to make sure we knew what was fact and what was believed. Also, he kept a great pace and still made time to answer all questions. Was a highlight of our visit.

Dimitri was Really Good! Thanks for answering all my questions ~ - ~ walking up steep hills! There was also a second half of the tour that some of us did not know about. A bloody shame ~ I wanted to try the red beer, sigh. We also passed a closed church because they were filming an English show. We saw the extras standing around outside. I laughed really hard because the knight when he walked, squeaked! His shoe/ foot coverings were rubber! Ha!

Touring Old Town Nuremberg Dec 2025. - Although our guide was very knowledgeable regarding the history of Germany and Nuremberg, I felt his language at times and choice of photos he shared with the group were inappropriate.
