This tour was very... - This tour was very enjoyable and fun. Our guide was insightful and patient with a large group. Her insights and stories led us to sign up for additional tours. This was our first tour in Nuremberg and was a great way to kick off our vacation.

Nuremberg’s Spooky History 👻 - My husband and I had a great time! Our tour guide spoke English very well and had an upbeat energy. I thought the tour was laid out nicely and we were able to learn a lot about Nuremberg’s spooky history! Our tour group was just the right size. We would definitely do this again!

Great way to spend a couple of hours in Old Town Nuremberg - Our tour guide, Katrina, met us at the designated time and place. As we walked around Old Town Nuremberg, she shared many interesting stories about the ghostly sounds and visions that people have experienced over many years. Katrina was very friendly, pleasant and easy to hear and understand. We would certainly recommend this tour around Old Town Nuremberg.

Spooky history of Nuremberg is 10/10 - It was great to hear the darker, spookier history of Nuremberg from our wonderful guide Katrina. She mentioned that they were still working on the script of this tour since it is new but I felt it was well developed thus far. It was also very nice to get better acquainted with the city and understand the sights rather than simply taking them in. This is my second ghost tour and I think it is one of the best most unique ways to experience every new city, especially European cities that have such long and vibrant histories.

Worth the Money, factual tour - Our guide Katrina was excellent, very friendly and full of information. We waited at meeting point for extra time to cater for late arrivals and then we made good ground on each stop. Overall very interesting and guide came prepared with good knowledge. I would say a bit of a warning should be mentioned of a slight steep incline for a few stops of the tour as we lost some of the older participants along the way. This didn't impact my experience though. I would do it again and would definitely book anything else Katrina was guiding. 10/10.

Great Tour! - Great way to hear history and see more of the city. I loved the experience as well as my husband who is not a ghost tour fan. The guide was very knowledgeable. She was answering questions unrelated to morbid facts.

Nuremberg spooky tour into a of lost souls and other strange happenings - A truly amazing, unforgettable experience. The Nuremberg Ghosts and Gallows tour was one of the things that my family and I were looking forward on our trip to Nuremberg and it didn't disappoint. Our tour guide was witty, knowledgeable and ecstatic to share the many 'haunted spots around Nuremberg. Each haunted spot she took us too she would talk a little about it's history, how it became haunted, as well as the many bizarre occurrences that the people in Nuremberg convinced happened to them and their little town. Because there are so many haunting happenings in Nuremberg, the tour involves a lot of walking to places all over the city, so be prepared, especially in the summer where it can tend to get a little hot, even during the evening or night. The entire experience though it totally worth, whether you're a lover of history or the supernatural, there is something on this tour for people that fall into both camps. It is a truly 'must see event in Nuremberg and one in which you may view the city a little differently after the tour

Nice walk through the city center - Our guide spoke very good English and was there with fun and joy. The tour has contained little historically interesting material, but a few entertaining ghost stories. We live in Nuremberg and booked this tour to get to know a new side of our city. The walk through the Christmas-lit city was nice, but if we were tourists and wanted to visit Nuremberg in a short time, this tour would not be the best option.
