Fabulous history of Nuremberg - This was an incredible tour! We learned so much about Nuremberg’s history and dark past, as well as some of the surrounding areas. We were fortunate to have perfect weather! Katrina is a top notch tour guide, her knowledge of the area and its history is impressive! She’s also got a great sense of humor. We didn’t see or hear any ghosts, but that is always unpredictable, the tour and stories of the city more than made up for that. Thank you Katrina!

An absolute MUST for english speakers! - This tour was amazing! we loved hearing about the literal hauntings from the haunts of Nuremberg. The tour was so full of information, you 100% get your moneys worth out of this.
As an added bonus, the tour guide showed us other points of interest (places to eat, other tours we could do, museums etc) if it is your first day in Nuremberg, this will help you get a lay of the land and help you make decisions on what to do during your stay.
if you intend on doing a tour you really only need to do this one, and you will know everything you need to know about the historic, beautiful city of Nuremberg.

G-g-g-g-ghosts??? - We were positively delighted!
Not only did our tour guide convey very interesting historical facts about the most haunted places in Nuremberg - she did so with a great sense of passion and kept us captivated from start to finish.
In addition to stories about the history of the city, she also recommended some great places to eat and explore on our own.
This tour should be a staple to all English-speakers who visit Nuremberg, regardless of being a believer or a skeptic.

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.

More a city tour - Tour guide was very nice, but as acknowledged by the guide, a ghosts and gallows tour should be held after dark, not 5pm in the light and the city centre a throng of school kids and tourists. The content came up short. Hard to believe a city as old as Nuremberg doesn’t have more gruesome stories to share. The areas of real interest being the dungeon and bunkers aren’t available to visit on this tour.
