Nuremberg Tours in English

Every tour listed here is completely private and in English — just you and your group; therefore, no compromise on pace or content. All tours are led personally by Kevin, an experienced American tour guide based in Nuremberg who is a cultural interpreter rather than merely a tour guide. Prices are per tour, not per person.

Private Nuremberg Trials and Rally Grounds Tour — 4 hours | €399

Nuremberg’s role in the Third Reich didn’t end in 1945 — it’s also where the world held the Nazi leadership to account. This popular four-hour tour combines the Nazi Party Rally Grounds with a visit to Room 600 in the Palace of Justice: the actual courtroom where the Nuremberg Trials took place and where the dock still stands today. The most complete private WWII tour Nuremberg has to offer, covering both the rise of the regime and its reckoning — in a single afternoon.

Private Nuremberg Highlights Tour — 4 hours | €399

If you want to cover both Nuremberg’s darkest chapter and its medieval heart in one tour, this four-hour option does exactly that. You’ll begin at the Nazi Party Rally Grounds for a thorough look at the Third Reich’s machinery, then move to the Old Town to explore the city’s remarkable pre-war architecture, imperial history, and street-level stories. Two very different Nurembergs, one unforgettable afternoon.

Private Nuremberg WW2 and Old Town Day Tour — 7 hours | €689

For those who refuse to rush, this is the full-day version. The morning covers the complete WW2 story — the Rally Grounds and the Trials courtroom in Room 600 — followed by a lunch break in the Old Town at a restaurant of your choice (not included in the price). After lunch, Kevin leads you through the Old Town on a dedicated three-hour walking tour. Seven hours, two complete experiences, and the most thorough way to explore Nuremberg with a private English-speaking guide.

Private Rothenburg Day Tour from Nuremberg — full day | €699

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of Germany’s most iconic medieval towns — and one of the most easily visited badly. This private day tour from Nuremberg gives you the knowledge and the time to appreciate it properly, exploring the remarkably preserved town walls, half-timbered streetscapes, and the real stories behind one of the most photographed places in Bavaria. No group bus, no headset, no strangers: just a private English-speaking tour guide and Rothenburg at its best.

Private Bamberg Day Tour from Nuremberg — full day | €699

Bamberg is a UNESCO World Heritage city just an hour from Nuremberg, and this full-day private tour makes it unmissable. Departing Nuremberg at 10:30am, you’ll walk Bamberg’s extraordinary baroque and medieval centre before sitting down for lunch (not included) and sampling the city’s famous specialities — the Bamberger Onion and a glass of rauchbier (smoked beer) at one of the oldest brewpubs in town. The afternoon brings a leisurely walk to the oldest brewery in Bamberg through the city’s most historic quarter, crossing the Regnitz River with views of an early-19th-century lock. Prefer something with a view? The hilltop Altenburg Castle makes a memorable alternative.

Private Nuremberg WW2 and Beer Tour | €599

History and Franconian beer culture make for a surprisingly natural pairing — and Kevin’s celebrated WW2 and Beer Tour brings both together. After a thorough private tour of the Nazi Rally Grounds and WW2 sites, the afternoon moves into the Old Town and into Nuremberg’s brewing heritage, including a stop at one of the city’s historic breweries to sample local beer straight from the source. A genuinely distinctive way to spend a day in Nuremberg.

Private Franconian Village Beer Day Tour — full day | €699

Franconia is home to one of the highest densities of traditional breweries anywhere in the world — yet most visitors never venture beyond the city to discover them. This full-day private tour takes you deep into the Franconian countryside to visit working village breweries, sample exceptional beers you can’t find anywhere else, and experience the rural culture that has been producing them for centuries. Essential for serious beer lovers.

Private Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour — 3 hours | €295

Nuremberg’s medieval core rewards serious exploration on foot — and this tour gives you the time and context to do it properly. Over three hours, you’ll visit the Imperial Castle, the Gothic grandeur of St. Sebaldus and St. Lorenz churches, the old craftsmen’s quarter, the main market square, and more, with the stories that turn sightseeing into real understanding. A perfect introduction to the city for first-time visitors who want an English-speaking guide in Nuremberg rather than a self-guided wander.

Kevin was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and engaging – one of the best historically focused guides I’ve ever had. He gave us a comprehensive history of the growth of the Nazi party in Nuremberg while viewing the Rally Grounds, the Congress Hall, and the Zeppelin Field. It was a 4-hour tour ending at the Nuremberg Trials Courtroom. This tour was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend.

Our tour of Nuremberg was fabulous BOTH times with Kevin as our guide. We met him in May of 2025 and back in March of 2023. Each time, Kevin provided just the right amount of historical context and was able to answer all our questions. For our small group of 3 this was a perfect way to spend the day! You will not go wrong! Kevin is a fantastic personal tour guide! He has a good sense of humor and is ultra punctual and helpful! Highly recommend!

The person who leads your tour can make or break an experience. With Kevin the experience was above and beyond our expectations and certainly made our tour a memorable one. We had six people in our group and the theme of our visit to Europe was WWII. Kevin’s knowledge, not only about Nuremberg, but about the era itself, was next level. He even provided us with photos of how the areas looked during the time period, which helped us visualize the vastness of several of the locations. We’d give Kevin and Nuremberg Tours in English more than 5 stars if we could – that is how impressed we were with the entire tour. Many thanks to Kevin for adding to the success and enjoyment of our tour of Germany and France.

Our tour with Kevin was excellent. Seeing Nuremberg with a private guide is the way to go! He picked us up at the train station, we did the WWII stuff in the morning, had a bite of lunch, and did the old town in the afternoon. We could have never seen so much and learned so much doing the town ourselves or taking a group tour. Highly recommend!

I recently had the privilege of taking a tour of Nuremberg that proved to be both enlightening and full of exciting sights. Led by our charismatic and knowledgeable guide, Kevin, this tour surpassed all expectations, taking us on a journey through the city’s complex history, from the haunting Nazi parade grounds to the historic trial rooms and the charming old town. Kevin’s passion for history and his dedication to preserving the memory of Nuremberg’s past shone through from the very beginning. As we began our tour at the infamous Nazi parade grounds, his ability to convey the gravity of the site was nothing short of captivating. His detailed explanations, vivid storytelling, and a genuine reverence for the past allowed us to truly grasp the enormity of what transpired in this place. It was a somber experience, but one that is essential for understanding the city’s history. Moving on to the trial rooms where the Nuremberg Trials took place, Kevin’s expertise came to the forefront. His in-depth knowledge of the legal proceedings, the key figures involved, and the significance of the trials in post-World War II history left me in awe. After delving into the darker aspects of Nuremberg’s history, we transitioned to the city’s old town, providing a welcome contrast. Kevin seamlessly shifted his narrative, highlighting the rich cultural heritage and architectural beauty of Nuremberg. His enthusiasm for the city’s medieval charm was infectious, and I found myself enchanted by the cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and the stunning Nuremberg Castle. One of the standout moments of the tour was undoubtedly the lunch Kevin had arranged for us. We dined at a local establishment, savoring authentic Bavarian cuisine that truly immersed us in the local culture. My whole family was beyond impressed. The food was exquisite, and Kevin’s choice of restaurant was a testament to his commitment to providing a well-rounded and memorable experience. What truly set Kevin apart was his personality. His warmth, sense of humor, and genuine interest in engaging with the group made the tour even more enjoyable. He was patient, answering questions with depth and clarity, and his passion for history was evident in every word he spoke. In conclusion, my tour of Nuremberg with Kevin was nothing short of phenomenal. It provided a comprehensive and emotionally charged exploration of the city’s history, from its darkest hours to its vibrant present. Kevin’s intelligence, knowledge, and engaging personality made the experience all the more memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Nuremberg’s past and its enduring spirit. It was an unforgettable journey that left me with a profound appreciation for this remarkable city and its complex history.
