Nuremberg Guided Day Trip from Munich by Train
Description
For 1,000 years, Nuremberg has played a decisive role in Germany's fortunes. From Holy Roman Emperors to the Renaissance, from the Third Reich to modern Bavaria, this city has seen empires rise and fall. You’ll hear the city´s amazing history, admire the colorful Marketplace, and learn where to get the famous Nuremberg sausages and "Red Beer". Explore the Old Town, take in the view from the Imperial Castle, visit the beautifully restored gothic Church of St Sebald, or just relax over lunch and soak in the atmosphere. After the break, we'll show you the darker side of Nuremberg's history at the former Nazi Rally Grounds. Here Hitler's architect Albert Speer planned and began to build the "Temple City of the Third Reich". Here the Nazis paraded for the saluting masses and propaganda films, creating some of the most infamous images in history. You'll stand in the middle of some of the largest Third Reich ruins in the world as your guide explains how the city confronts this history today

If you like riding trains for 5 hours plus round trip from Munich, this tour is for you. Hardly any time spent seeing any sights. Our guide was very good at describing the history of Nuremberg, just had no time to see anything. All in all, a total waste of time and money.
Lee, we are sorry to hear that this tour was not for you. Yes, Nuremberg is a 2 hour train ride, which we assume you will know when booking a ticket. We are glad to hear that your guide was good, which is why you go on such a tour. Safe travels
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would do this tour again and recommend it to everyone.
John, thanks for the recommendation of your tour to Nuremberg with Radius Tours, greatly appreciated.
Paul was extremely well versed in the history of Nuremberg. We enjoyed the history lesson so much!!
Judy, great that you enjoyed your tour to Nuremberg with Paul and Radius Tours.
Very poor trip The starting hours were rubbish Should of been an hour or two earlier I spent most of time chasing buses and trains rushing the trip The lunch was quite good The Ww2 tour was joke
We are sorry you felt the tour was poorly done. Radius Tours
Our tour guide Paul was fantastic. This is a historical tour that goes into not only the ancient history of Nürnberg but also into the details of WWII and how the Nazi party came to be. Paul showed us the major landmarks and we had plenty of chances to take pictures. It is fast paced and we covered a lot of ground. Easy walking surfaces. We even had a 1 hourbreak to eat lunch (we paid ourselves, but sat as a group). If you enjoy learning the historical background of a city, this is for you and Paul is your guide!
Julio, Thank you for this outstanding review of the tour in Nuremberg. We are glad you had a great expereince with Paul. Radius Tours
Lots of walking and the [no a/c] bus that takes you from one side of the town to the WW2 sites was swelteringly hot on a 75-degree day. If warm, dress lightly.
Gerry, Thank you very much for the review, recommendations and advice. This is great. Radius Tours
Jason was an absolute delight. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we saw in Nuremberg and he gave us plenty of time for lunch at the Bratwurst Röslein restaurant.
William, glad you had a great day in Nuremberg with Jason.
This was a wonderful full-day tour with a fantastic guide, Elisabeth. We were a small group and she was able to provide a lot of one-on-one conversations with each of us. She gave us so much information about the history of the areas we visited, and took care of the timing so that I never felt rushed yet kept on schedule to catch the various trains that were used. We had an ample break in the afternoon to get a quick lunch and spend some free time in the city square. All in all, a wonderful and informative way to spend a day.
Dear Yvonne, thank you for taking time to write a review! We are happy that you had a ncie day in Austria with our guide Elisabeth :) Radius Tours
Elizabeth was so full of information. Kept me wanting more the whole time. I have learned more today than I ever did in my schooling. Highly recommend! A lot of walking so be prepared to have sore feet
Hi, thank you for the great review! Radius Tours
Never travel on a regional train on a public holiday in Germany. The experience was worse than disgusting. Overcrowding is putting it mildly.
We appreciate your honest feedback that you shared on the tour you joined with us. Easter indeed can be very busy and do apologize for the trains being so crowded, as it was paired with the most beautiful weather that day, making the trains even more busy. I am afraid we have very little influence on how busy trains are, and we are sorry that this reduced the level of happiness on the day that you joined the tour. Sorry for that! Thank you for your understanding .
