Nuremberg is a must see - Jeff is very cool and was able to manage the tour well. He was able to squeeze in all the expectations even though there was a cancellation in the train trip back to Munich that shorten the tour by at least an hour.

Good tour- history, food, castles - Jason was our tour guide. We had a great time. Took the train (it was quite long - bring a book or something to do) otherwise good history and fun to walk around the market. Jason gave some awesome recs for where to eat. Saw the castle at the end - nice views of the city as well!

Beautiful, nice pace, awesome tour - What could have been a tough tour in the old town, with getting up to the castle, was a great pace for all, with plenty of options to see what anyone who comes to Nuremberg wants to see.

Old town Nuremberg tour - Geoff our guide was great, so patient and he expertly guided our group into trains, buses trams etc. I mustn’t have read the description properly as I thought it was more of a WWII history tour but it was an old town Nuremberg tour, although we did see some significant WWII sites. Meeting place was easy enough to find (although we did walk past it twice without noticing it) Long day trip but interesting and good to see. Geoff knew a lot and went out of his way to ensure everyone was ok and help in anyway he could

Nuremberg - Beautiful city of Bavaria, to visit completely on foot to enjoy all the corners and unmissable views of this city, especially on the river. There are many museums: Railway, communication, "Process", toys, casda of Albrecth Durer, World War II. There are many churches such as that of the clock or Our Lady, San Lorenzo, San Sebaldo, then of course the Castle and the city walls.

Full day adventure, but feels like we didn’t see anything - Really torn on this one. For the amount of things that we saw, I understand why we just “flew by” things in the city vs stopping to see anything - but at the same time I felt like there was a lot of wasted time and not a ton of information provided. I would have rather paid more for the tour to take the high speed train vs taking cheap train with a transfer as that significantly ate into our time to see things. And once we finally got there we had to wait again to pick up people staying local. The tour guide was clearly not passionate about the city buildings/history compared to the Nazi Rally Grounds which is where his story telling clearly came alive (except for the sausages which he was clearly a fan of - and credit where credit is due…they were really good!) The other downside was to get to the Rally Grounds we had to hop on a local bus and drive 20 minutes. The Rally Grounds were definitely worth seeing, but just added to the feeling of disorganization that I felt encompassed the entire tour. We honestly almost didn’t even make it there as I was ready to bail and spend the rest of the day wandering around the old city. I’m glad we didn’t and stuck with it, but if you want to see a lot without going into churches, buildings, etc this may be the tour for you. For me, I think we could have potentially done it more efficiently ourselves without a tour group as the day just felt disorganized and like there was a lot of wasted time and we would have had a deeper experience doing it another way.

Horrible experience and bad tour planning - Horrible experience - doesn’t even deserve a single star - i think radius tour may need to rethink on how to plan this tour so that the group spends more time in the city…

Waste of time! - Worst planned tour ever. And the guide was too disinterested. Kept talking more about the beer and sausages than the history of the town. First, don't know why we couldn't take direct train to Nuremberg despite being in one, wasted 3 hours hours this. Then the guide first changed the plan midway for lunch break and castle visit. So you either skip lunch or visit the castle. We spent a lot of time idly standing by either at the market or in under construction buildings with nothing to do than making up for lost time! Made our experience of a good town worthless and waste of money. Better to explore on your own. Especially don't go with Jason at the very least, if you get him, then ask for your money back.
