    Interesting city rally

    We enjoyed it. We liked the little bits of information at each stop and that we could take a break for food or coffee at any time along the way.

    Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung.

    Original city rally with getting to know the city

    It was a great tour. Finding the stations was easy, it worked with the Google Maps app. The puzzles were medium difficulty, partly a bit tricky, which we thought was great. The story was very original; it linked real things with a bit of fantasy. And we saw many sights. Would love to do it again.

    Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung.

    Avoid this tour

    This tour was abysmal. There was mostly text and very little, if any, multimedia interactions. Unfortunately, Viator has found it necessary to hide the tour operator name so you are likely to suffer this same experience without recourse.

    Response from the operator: Es tut uns leid, dass Ihnen unsere Stadtrallye nicht gefallen hat. Unsere Aufgaben sind so gestaltet, dass sie an der realen Station/Sehenswürdigkeit vor Ort zu lösen sind.

    Cross and across the city

    We have divided our group of 11 people, on their Recommendation, into 2 groups . I.e., I booked 2 times for a 6 people The logging in was a bit difficult, because none of us is so firm in dealing with the smartphone. Okey, it's your own fault. We've made it. We've done it. So we left with 11 people and three phones. 1 mobile phone with the card and 2 with the description and tasks. That was also fun and everyone agreed that it was more interesting, like a guided tour with a boring guide. However, you should design the tasks in such a way that you can complete the stations on one way and not be sent crisscrossing the old town. After the 5. Station and about 4 hours, but with coffee break and market visit, nobody felt like continuing. It's too bad.

    Response from the operator: Hallo, wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen grundsätzlich Spaß gemacht hat. die Benutzung des Smartphones wird in der Beschreibung der Stadtrallye beschrieben. Deshalb gehen wir davon aus, dass Buchende damit umgehen können. Die Aufgaben sind in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge angeordnet. Wenn Sie alle Aufgaben gespielt hätten, wäre Ihnen aufgefallen, dass alle Stationen auf einer Runde hintereinander abgelaufen werden.

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

    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.
