Private Nuremberg WW2 and Old Town Day Tour

Private Nuremberg WW2 and Old Town Day Tour

Take a journey through history and culture

This tour is for anyone who wants the full arc of Nuremberg’s history in a single day — from the regime that staged its rise here to the medieval city that came centuries before it. Kevin has been guiding private English-language tours of Nuremberg since 2012. In the morning, you’ll walk the Nazi Party Rally Grounds and step into Room 600 of the Justice Palace, where the Nuremberg Trials were held. After lunch, you’ll trade one era for another entirely, wandering the cobbled lanes, half-timbered houses, and medieval landmarks of Nuremberg’s Old Town. It’s a full day covering over a thousand years of history.

The Private Nuremberg WW2 and Old Town Day Tour lasts approximately 7 hours, includes hotel pickup, and costs €689 for up to 6 people (food and beverages are not included in the tour price). Availability is limited — Kevin offers private tours only.

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.
