    Great tour

    We were a group of 5 ages from 19 to 77, Kevin kept us all involved. He is very knowledgeable about the area and will custom the tour to meet your interests. We were interested in medieval with a little WWII thrown in, Kevin did it. We drove in from Rothenburg he provided us with the best place to park and a couple of excellent places to eat. We were never rushed he answered everyone’s questions, even a few days after the tour. We will join in with everyone else who gives Kevin a well earned 5 star review.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You guys were a fun bunch.

    Expert Guidance

    We took a tour with Kevin for a morning. Kevin picked us up promptly at our hotel in a very comfortable van. From there, he drove us to the location where the Nuremburg trials took place. Kevin's knowledge of history is breathtaking and seeing the trial room had more meaning after hearing Kevin's detailed explanations. We also visited Jewish locations in Nuremberg, which we would never have found or known about without Kevin's guidance. Kevin is smart, speaks American English and is well versed in German history. I highly recommend Kevin for tours in Nuremberg in English.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much, Nancy! I hope to see you again sometime.

    Great Old Town tour!

    Great tour of Old Town Nuremberg! Thanks for a great afternoon. We had fun and learned about how the town evolved from medieval times to post WW2.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the review, Suzanne! I had a good time too.

    Non Nazi Nuremburg Tour

    Having toured the Nazi related sites in Nuremburg on previous travels, we wanted a different experience on this visit. Kevin provided just that with his excellent private walking tour of Nuremburg's Old town. It was a delightful three hour tour which entertained and enlightened us on significant historic and cultural events in the city's storied past. Though American by birth, he's lived in Germany for decades and his knowledge of Nuremburg's history is impressive. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who has a keen interest in understanding a place rather than just seeing it.

    Response from the operator: I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed my tour. Thanks again to both you and Melissa.

    Very good

    We did a hybrid tour of the walking grounds and rallying grounds that the Nazis utilized before and during WW2, then went to the Justice Center where the Nuremberg trials were held. All were great and Kevin is very knowledgeable. I would say we were at the Justice Center only an hour and that is not really enough time to spend there. But that was not Kevin's fault...just one of those things.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review of my WW2 Combo Tour.

    PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nuremberg.

    How does PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour compare to similar tours in Nuremberg?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nuremberg, with an Outty Ranking of 59. At $227 it sits above the typical similar option ($33), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and anyone who wants flexible plans.

    Who is PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour best for?

    +

    It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 3-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $227, above the $33 typical for similar experiences in Nuremberg.

    How much does PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $227 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nuremberg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nuremberg is not rushed.

    Is PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nuremberg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nuremberg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nuremberg and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does PRIVATE Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nuremberg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Nuremberg?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nuremberg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Tour in Nuremberg in Spanish, Walking tour Nuremberg, Tour to Rothenburg ob der Tauber from Nuremberg in Spanish. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Nuremberg?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Nuremberg?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
