We really enjoyed this tour. The flexibility worked out perfect for us since we had our 7 month old teething baby with us so days and nights are a little off right now. And since it was snowing and pretty cold the day we went, I stayed in the car with our son while my wife hopped out where she wanted and snapped pics. We enjoyed learning the history of Nuremberg and loved that it gave directions to the next destination as well. All in all it was a great tour and a good experience so we did another audio tour like this in Salzburg.

It was an excellent activity which helped us explore the city in a different and interactive way. The puzzles were very nice and the information very interesting . We really enoyed the walk and route. We will do it again to other cities for sure!

A great way to find out about the history of the city. Very informative. Well organised and very clean.

Great tour … reasonably priced with good narration … bit squishy … wouldn’t like to be on a full train!

I have a limited knowledge of German. Should have chosen the English tour.
