“We really enjoyed our Nuremberg tour. Our guide Natasha was really friendly, and really knowledgeable of Nuremberg, it's history and it's part in WW2. It was a four hour tour, but didn't feel long, because it was so interesting and enjoyable. There was also a break for a short lunch in the middle. We would totally recommend this combined Nuremberg tour and Natasha as a guide!!”
