Nuremberg Ghosts and Gallows Evening Walking Tour in English
Description
Discover the darker side of Nuremberg on this small-group evening walking tour in English. With its bloody medieval history, Nuremberg has no shortage of gruesome tales of torture, murder, execution, and death. As the Ghosts and Gallows title suggests, once the executioner's job is done, sometimes something remains. Your English-speaking, professional paranormal guide will lead you through the darkening streets of the Old Town; sharing tales of haunted places, ghastly rituals, medieval torture, the shadows of the Third Reich, and even aliens from outer space. As night falls, we guarantee that you'll never look at Nuremberg the same way again. Note: this tour has a hilly terrain and may not be suitable for all fitness levels.

Find out what lurks beneath Nuremberg's historic City Hall.
When the sun sets, the staff of this medieval castle go home for the night. Make the the steep climb and discover what remains in the shadows after dark.
A lively square that has an almost supernatural pull just begging you to sit, relax, and look up at the stars. Just don't be alarmed if the stars begin looking back at you.
Discover the plight of the medieval executioner. Do you dare to cross his wooden bridge?
Death comes for us all - a visit to the White Tower will happily give you a friendly reminder.

Was very interesting. Took the tour because I wanted to know more about the part the gallows played in Nuremberg's history. Definitely worth the time. Learned many interesting tidbits about the city.
YAY! Thanks so much, Cindy! We are so happy to read that you loved your ghostly adventure through Nuremberg with us! Haunt us again soon! :)
We explored the city on our own for half a day prior to the tour. Wish we had done the tour first! Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Learned a lot about all the places we had seen earlier in the day. Whether you are into the paranormal or not, this tour was well worth it! Great way to see the city and learn about its haunted history.
YAY! Thanks so much, Austin! We are so happy to read that you loved your ghostly adventure through Nuremberg with us! Haunt us again soon! :)
Katrina was wonderful! She gave us some history, but added in stories of ghosts. She spoke very clear English, in fact, so good that I asked her if she was from the United States (which she is not!). The tour had quite a bit of walking, but nothing outrageous. The stories were fun, and she included several of her own personal experiences with the supernatural as well.
Wow! Thanks so much for this fabulous review! We are so happy to read that you loved your ghostly adventure with Katrina! We hope you'll haunt us again soon! :)
I really enjoyed the ghost tour. We were a small and quite exclusive group. Altogether, we spent almost two and a half hours walking around Nuremberg. It was a lot of fun and also very exciting, especially because of the variety of ghost stories and how they connected to real historical events. At one point, the tour even briefly included a story about a UFO sighting from centuries ago. The tour started at the Hauptmarkt, went past the Kaiserburg with a great view, and continued through the city center to the opera house. Overall, it was a very dynamic tour, packed with fascinating historical detail, entertaining and interesting stories. I can definitely recommend it. I really enjoyed it and there was not a single boring moment. I am not a native English speaker, but even for me as a second-language speaker, everything was very easy to understand. The group was also really nice—very relaxed, friendly, and with a great atmosphere. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
WOW! Thanks so much for this lovely feedback! We are so happy to read that you had a great time on our little ghost tour! We hope to see you again soon! :)
Did this tour in Nuremberg with a friend. Friend had a sore knee so walked a little slower. Was disappointing that Katrina didn't really stop to check she was keeping up or wait for her to arrive before sharing the stories. Katrina was very enthusiastic about the stories she shared but didn't really build them up in a suspenseful way. Was ok but not the best ghost tour I've done- also a lit of her information was very different to what we'd heard about the same things on earlier tours- not sure which versions were accurate.
Kerryn, at no point did the guide start the stories without your slow-moving friend, so no idea why you are lying about this now. She was simply chatting with the other guests while they were (constantly) waiting on you and your friend. It is also noted clearly in the tour description that this tour requires a certain level of fitness as Nuremberg has a hilly terrain, which is, again, obvious to anyone with eyes, even if you didn't read the tour description. Finally, since you insist on assuming that the male tour guide you had on another tour was the educated one, over the female guide who extensively studied the subject matter - you could have simply asked DOCTOR GOOGLE who was right instead of letting your personal misogyny direct your prejudices. The fact that you are even too lazy to care about fact-checking this before leaving this review tells me everything I need to know about you. Bye, Kerryn.
Amazing tour, she was super friendly, knowledable and i found it super interesting. It was my first ghost tour and from now on im planning to do more of these type of tours. I found it entertraining and educational.

Great experience!! Not only did we learn a lot of interesting facts and history of Nuremberg, she actually showed us some areas of the town we have been trying to find and visit ourselves. Rewarding in more ways than one!
