I echo many of the other reviews when I say this is a MUST when visiting Rothenburg!…read moreI had also read the reviews beforehand and thought, "Okay, how good can this be?" And I have to say- it really is THAT good. Such a unique experience and a great way to see a different side of Rothenburg. The tour guide was a highlight; He kept our entire group of ~15 engaged for the duration and was very knowledgeable. The history of the town is very interesting, and it really is incredible how it has withstood the test of time. The tour is affordable at around 10€ and an hour long. English speaking and no reservation needed. You just meet in the main square at 8pm and wait for a cloaked man to show up (Lol). Bundle up because it can get chilly! Overall just an excellent experience. I learned a lot and had a great time.

This tour was a must while you are in Rothenberg! We heard great things but I can't stress enough…read morehow you should make this a priority. The tour started at 8pm in front of the steps to the town hall in the main market (Marktplatz). There was a large crowd when we got there (expected with the Christmas Markets though also surprised with the cold weather) at about 60-70 people. For the hour, the tour is a suggested €8 per person which you pay at the end. There are also non-English versions that can be found on the website for time & location. The tour did require walking but not a lot, we strolled from the Marktplatz down the main road and then outside the west gate and then back with multiple stops and stories along the way. You'll learn a lot of history of this medieval city and also have many laughs along the way. The night watchman was a great story teller and had a lot of tips along the way for your remaining time in Rothenberg. Don't miss this tour on your trip and if possible do earlier in your time here.

It is a medieval village but during advent it seemed like a place out of a Hallmark Christmas movie. The entire village was friendly, beautiful.

It was definitely worth hiring a private guide as we didn't have to see things we wanted to skip and could spend more time at the places we were most interested in. Great tour!

From the owner: Why should you book private tours in Nuremberg with Tour Guide Kevin?…read more Simply put, I am good at what I do and I love doing it. Of course you could head out on your own or book a group tour. But why make things hard on yourself or take a cookie-cutter group tour that doesn't take your personal interests or needs into consideration? With me, you set the pace and you decide how you want to enjoy your tour. Basically, hiring me is like going somewhere for the first time and meeting up with a friend who lives there. My local knowledge is readily apparent and, in terms of Nuremberg's World War II and Medieval history, I'll give you an excellent historical perspective as well. To round things off, I speak fluent English (obviously, I'm American) so during the tour you won't be constantly asking your travel companions, "what did he say?" Book with me and experience the Tour Guide Kevin difference.

Honestly I didn't know too much about it other than it involved underground bunkers, always interesting. We met at the assigned time and place, easy to find thanks to the map provided by the helpful info office employee. As the only English speaking guests on this particular tour, we were provided with handheld speakers to use. The funny and boisterous tour guide informed us he would be telling us which number to use at each stop so we wouldn't miss any info provided, although he really did a good job of using both English and German throughout the tour. Down we went into the depths below the city to wander tunnels and rooms apparently used as both liquor and pickle storage, as well as bomb shelters at various points in Nuremberg history. The tour lasted about an hour before we emerged up and onto the grounds of the whiskey/beer distiller who apparently sponsors the tour. Everyone who wanted to partake was provided a mug of beer made right on site to cap off the adventure. Overall it was pretty fun and informative. While it wasn't the most epic tour I've ever taken, it (and the guide) were definitely entertaining...especially considering the low ticket price.
