Great, friendly female tour guide. We were a group of english speaking friends, so we were given audio guides, because the activity was held in german language, but we didn’t feel left out. The excursion lasted a bit more than an hour. Warm clothing is not a joke, really, dress properly so you wouldn’t freeze. Overall, it’s a nice activity, if you are visiting Nuremberg for the first time.

This activity was well worth doing , the main tour guide spoke German but I being English was given a handset in English and a second tour guide joined the tour and explained all points of he tour to me . This tour is a must as gives a great insight into the history of nuremburg.
