2 nights in Nuremberg old town, inside the walls - Fantastic. Stayed at the Hotel Elch studio apartment for 2 nights. Exceptional location, clean, staff wonderful, and breakfast great.
Old town Nuremberg is amazing. Wear good walking shoes as everything is uphill and the streets are cobblestones. Beautiful Fantastic historical place inside the wall. Tips: the kleina ice manufacture, Oggi for Italian food and huge pizzas,Halt die Waffel Eisdiele & Cafe where you can get a beer or wine with your ice cream. Vibe is laid back everywhere. Wonderful experience. Tour of the water tower and Defense underground really good, not too expensive, about an hour each and easy walking. Highly recommend seeing Nurembergs old town. About 2 to 3 days to do and see most of it. Worth the trip.

Excellent Walking Tour of Nuremberg - An enjoyable tour that provides an excellent overview of Nuremberg and its cultural heritage. Achim, the guide, is extremely knowledgable and very detailed in his presentation of the material. The tour goes past the Albrecht Durer house and Imperial Castle, but does not go inside. It does go to the Nazi Rally grounds. The tour involves a lot of walking.

Great overview of Nuremberg - Achim was great! Full of knowledge and wit about the area and its history. One thing to note is that the tour has a lunch break from 1-2 between the old town and Nazi rally grounds part, so it ends later than expected at 4:30 (we expected 3:45 based on description).

Suzanne was excellent. Fantastic Tour - It was easy to deal with this company. Meeting place instructions were clear and Suzanne was easy to find. She kept us updated with what would be happening at each stage of the tour. The information she shared was presented in an interesting and engaging way. The rally grounds were very moving so glad we took this tour.

Everything good - The tour was very nice but the tour guide wasn't aware of the people that was in his group. I fell and he didn't notice and when my brother told him he never came to me to see how I was doing.
