Awesome guide - Ronaldo was awesome! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. I totally enjoyed the tour with him. He listened to where I wanted to go and where I didn’t.

Good short tour, nice first event in town - No need to buy tickets ahead of time. It’s easy to buy them at the ticket stand right by the tram. It was a good first excursion in the city, helped us decide what else we wanted to see. Good value.

Great introduction to the City and it's history - Peter was our guide on August 5th and was excellent. We walked the old town and he had many stories to share about the town, art and great recommendations. Introduced us to fabulous gingerbread, sausages/local beer and finished at the castle. Wish we would have gotten a copy of the castle selfie we took! Our teen was jet lagged, but even he enjoyed the tour.

Guide questionable? - Inexperienced guide. Took us to 12 different locations, but provided little detail, no historical background. We were so disappointed. We were able to customize the tour which was nice. Yet so disappointed.

What a disappointment. - What a disappointment. I have used Viator for years to book tours like these with local city guides. They have always been fabulous until this one. This was a private tour and ahead of time (as asked) I related some of our interests and a request to see and learn about the highlights of the city. Our tour guide “A” was late and had trouble finding us even though I told her we were in front of our Lady church facing the HaupMarket and sent a live pin. She told us one story about the fountain in the market but that was the last information. As we walk from the market to the Palace we asked her questions about when it was built and any facts or stories of interest she didn’t know or offer up any information other than it was medieval and closed to visitors. We learned more from the info plaque at the top of the hill. We explained that we were used to learning a little about the history and significant events at a place and she said that if she knew that she would have googled something and memorized it for us. She had clearly not trained or had any relevant experience in the area or being a guide. She didn’t seem to have any interests in the area either. She had just planned to walk us to the palace, St Lawrence church snd a portion of the old gate with shops. Which would have been an ok agenda if she had been telling us something about each venue. We can navigate a map. It felt like we had an extra person following us as we read the info plaques. It was very awkward so we thanked her and let her go about 35 minutes into the tour. This is not the level of service I expect from Viator guides snd for this price point of a private tour.

Huge disappointment and very misleading - The guide was told in advance of my special interest in seeing two important WWII sites in Nuremberg. Her response was to provide misinformation about access to the sites and what one would see there. I decided before we set off that her knowledge of the sites was extremely limited and she probably preferred to do a simple walk through the historical quarter- thus ignoring my preferences. This is not at all what I expected from a “customized private historical tour”. Very disappointing and misleading.
