Nuremberg Wwii Tour, Courtroom 600 And 3rd Reich Sites

Great tour, particularly with all the added information we completely unaware of. Our guide, Seba was terrific. Highly recommend the tour & ask for Seba

Rob is an awesome guide. Telling us all about what we’re about to see at each stop was very helpful. His knowledge of the sites couldn’t be better. He educated us not just about the sites themselves but about history and the reasons things were built where, when and the materials that they were. Details matter to us and Rob is awesome with his descriptions. I asked questions and Rob knew the answers immediately. He knows enough to be teaching a course at a university. His excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. It was way worth the money to do this tour with Rob.

The trip was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide, Seb, was very personable and very knowledgeable. The group was small and they picked us up at a nearby hotel location. The only way to improve on this is to schedule a little more time at Courtroom 600 in order to take in both the Courtroom and the fascinating displays on top floor. I would definitely recommend this tour for all people with an interest in WWII.

It was amazing. Sophia was great. Smooth bus ride. Could have used a few more minutes at rest areas.

Seba was fun and very knowledgeable guide. We couldn’t fault him. Unfortunately there are not enough sites for a four hour tour and the courtroom was rushed. There may be better value for money tours .

The guide (Seba) very comprehensive, lots of knowledge and a very passionate explanation of the theme! It felt that we were there at the moment when everything happened. I really recommend to everyone. If you are looking for someone, Robson is the guy.

Rob was awesome! He had so much great knowledge to share with us! Thank you!

Rob was an experienced guide and lots of fun. He displayed a good knowledge of history and the sights we visited.

Rob's knowledge of the Nuremberg sites and WWII historical relevance was very good and his enthusiasm for/during the tour was refreshing. Appreciate you, Rob!

What a wonderful tour we had. Our guide, Rob was very friendly, informative and knew his stuff. We learnt things that we had not known. We would highly recommend this tour.

Rob was extremely well versed in telling us the history of the sights. He also was extremely pleasurable to spend the day with.

Rob was amazing. He was so informative and funny. He kept us entertained and engaged the whole time. My teenage boys are big into WWII history and they learned a lot through this tour. Highly recommend.

Rob was an excellent, energetic, good natured-humored guide with a great sense of humor and lots of knowledge about Germany and WWII. i would especially like to thank Rob and the tour company for making this excellent tour happen, because there happened to be a marathon in Nuremberg that day and as a result streets were closed or blocked off. As a result, we all had to adjust a bit before we got going--but thanks their clear communication and help, it happened! Overall, this was an excellent tour. We saw a number of historically important sights and Rob had a great book with illustrations, notes, and provided excellent background -- he was quite knowledgeable and interacted with our group very well. We saw the Documentation Center and Nazi rally grounds, zeppelin field, and, finally, the Nuremberg Palace of Justice and Courtroom 600. The audio guide for Courtroom 600 is excellent (and cheap--1 euro) and it was a powerful, moving experience. The accompanying museum-information section is outstanding. Overall, I really recommend this tour--and thank Rob and the company for making it happen on a marathon day!

Rob was one of the best, most energetic, and pleasant guides I have had in a long time. I would personally like to thank Rob and his tour company for helping all of us on the tour and making it happen: there was a marathon happening in Nuremberg that day, so Rob was delayed due to the unexpected traffic and road closures. Even getting a taxi was challenging. Nevertheless, the company and Rob contacted us, gave us all lots of assurance and help, and we all got started and had a fantastic tour. Rob knew a LOT about the Third Reich, Germany and WWII, and he had an excellent booklet of photos which helpfully illustrated his information. One piece of trivia I learned was that Bayer aspirin and the soda Fanta had Nazi origins--and they were my grandmother's favorites. She never took anything but Bayer and adored Fanta--she even drank it at breakfast! Rob gave us lots of important background information about the important historic spots in Nuremberg. We saw the former documentation center and Nazi rally grounds, the zeppelin field, and finally the Nuremberg Palace of Justice and the famous Courtroom 600. Seeing all these places I have read about in history classes many years ago was so important to me. Rob made it happen and told me a lot about these sights I had either forgotten or never knew. Highly recommended tour--especially the visit to Courtroom 600. The Courtroom 600 tour has a very good cheap (1 euro) audio guide and the information-museum center is quite good too.

Wonderful tour, full of history and stories which brought the events to life. Would recommend for any WWll buff

Absolutely amazing tour We had limited time but wanted to do as much as possible and this tour was perfect for that. On time hotel pick up, tour guide was called Rob and he was amazing from start to finish. Crammed so much knowledge and so many sites into the 3 hour tour. With multiple stop points for photos and loads of history to talk about. Absolutely recommend booking and make sure you book Rob for the trip as he speaks multiple languages

Rob was our tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very engaging. We learned so much from him and had a great time. Definitely recommend!!!

I can’t tell you how disappointing this tour was. Do not book this tour! Spend your money on a taxi and get to each of the sites on your own, because all the sites except Courtroom 600 are outdoors and on public property. Most have signage with historical information. But all the sites now have construction around them and haven’t been maintained, so there’s really not much to see. Our photos look nothing like the photos on this site from other reviews. Your time will be better spent learning about the city. We had a guide named Rob who was horrible. He was with a contracted company and had his own van. He refused to use the air conditioner in 90 degree heat in Nuremberg stating, “we going to be getting out frequently so no need.” Seriously? So apparently his gas is too precious to waste on his customers. Rob is from Brazil and speaks poor English. He was incredibly difficult to understand, not only due to his accent, but due to his sentence syntax “he be stupid and not the brains behind the SES…” and his pace of speech was ridiculously fast. An elderly gentleman in our group asked him 3 times to slow his speech because it was too fast, but he didn’t. Additionally, I will second what Helen stated in her review from several months ago that Rob doesn’t stay on topic and doesn’t have his facts straight about Hitler or WW2. One of his statements was “Coca Cola is Nazi company.” What? No, it is an American company and while it did provide coca cola to Germany before WW2, when the war broke out, Coca Cola cut off its supply to Germany. Rob was dismissive and arrogant. At our first stop, we sat in a flea market parking lot near Congresshalle while Rob talked to us for 40 minutes about pre WW2 Hitler and passed around laminated plastic pictures. 40 minutes of listening to a bad accent and non-factual information! . It was 90 degrees in Nuremberg and we finally asked to get out of the van. He became angry at this. He also stated there was no restroom at this stop for one of the women who had to go badly, but we later learned there was a pay toilet in the middle of the flea market. Further, he stated the only restroom was at courtroom 600, which was in the last hour of a 4 hour tour! This simply was his choice and is not practical for most people to wait this long to use a restroom, especially for a tour which began at 9 am. Finally, at Courtroom 600, WE HAD TO PAY TO GET IN!! This wasn’t included in the tour price! (If you’re a student, bring your student ID because every museum lets you in for a student price which is 2-3 euros. Rob took us to the desk and that was it. He told us to download the museum app to listen to the automated museum guide, then he went outside and waited in his van! Courtroom 600 had not only the courtroom, but another floor of a vast amount of information about the Nazis who were prosecuted after the war. You can spend a whole day or an entire morning or afternoon alone at this location, and most people on the tour opted to stay at Courtroom 600 beyond the tour-end time, so Rob did not have to return them to their hotel. So, in summary, take a taxi to the sites on your own and at courtroom 600, plan to stay for 2-3 hours and take a taxi back to your hotel. Taxis are plentiful and easy to use. The drivers are nice and most taxis hold 4 adults. I will end by stating we have traveled to many countries all over the world and have used a variety of tour companies. We usually have very good experiences with these companies and give high ratings.. Although we’ve used Viator before, we feel their quality of contracted tour guides has gone downhill in recent years. It’s unacceptable to offer a tour “in English” and use someone like Rob who’s pronunciation and sentence syntax are so horrible. All guides should have to pass a written and verbal English test to give tours in English. I don’t know who passed Rob. But the worst thing about Rob was his rudeness.

The guide was knowledgeable. The trip was expensive.

Rob was our private guide and picked us up at our hotel. He was very informative and very helpful with everything and we appreciated his extra effort to make our tour enjoyable! Thank you!

Unfortunately the description of the tour itinerary was not what we experienced. Our guide was knowledgeable but not necessarily on topic for the tour title. We did not get the opportunity for free time and entry into the Documentation Centre Museum. After our tour we googled some of the interesting and previously unknown historical facts we had learned from our guide. Again unfortunately they turned out not to be accurate. For the price of two adult tickets we could have used a taxi each way from our hotel to the four places and saved the price of one ticket.

Excellent tour by Rob. Very knowledgeable guy and super people friendly. Made sure we could all hear him at all times and waited for everyone before talking. Would highly recommend.

Rob was the best. Very knowledgeably and fun. We recommend him!!

Rob shared lots of history we did not know in an interesting and fun manner. The time flew by and we wish we had more time to spend with him! Transportation was comfortable and on time.

Learned a few things to add to my already extensive knowledge of both places. Enjoyable getting to know the actual geography and layout

We learned so much from Rob's vivid explanations. It helped us understand the real history of Nuremberg which was hidden under the dark shadow.

The guide, Rob, was very friendly and helpful. Had a good sense of humor and was engaging. Gave a lot of background information. Very interesting to see the sites. Only 3 stars because one of the two main attractions (Zeppelin) was fully covered in scaffolding. Not much to see there. We felt the tour company could have informed us in advance as we likely would not have booked the tour because of the renovation. Courtroom 600 was interesting to see, which includes a movie. Good tour for people who have difficulty walking as sites are quite far from each other, if you have little time in Nuremberg or if you're not a history major. Very convenient to be picked up from the hotel and Rob was on time & prepared. For others with more time, mobile and history buffs - it'll be a refresher of what you already know but you can do it much cheaper yourself.

Tour was exactly as described. Rob our guide was excellent. He arrived on time, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He assisted me in the snow as we walked over the grounds and generally speaking was a very good guide. The right amount of time was spent at each area. Overall a nice tour I’d recommend when in Nuremberg.

Interesting tour - definitely needed more time in Courtroom 600

Our guide made the difference. He was fun and knowledgeable. Although the court room was closed he did the best to fulfill the agenda and show us around.

Rob is a great tour guide. The tour was fill of WW2 information. I would definitely recommend the tour

A great tour led by Rob that conveyed the effort of Germans to remember and learn from history. Rob was knowledgeable, engaging and did a wonderful job of giving us information and time to explore/absorb on our own.

Great tour and a must-do in Nuremberg! The guide was very knowledgeable and made the history easy to understand. Seeing Courtroom 600 in person was a highlight and really brought the WWII history to life. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend this tour.

We saw pertinent Nazi/WW2 sites. Our guide was very friendly; however, he spoke so fast and with such a heavy accent, that the four of us had trouble understanding him. I asked him to slow down, but he didn’t. He had lots of good information and we learned a great deal. We were given about 40 minutes at the 600 Courtroom. It is so interesting and there are so many good displays that we needed about 30 minutes more. This is an expensive tour and it was the only reason we went to Nuremberg. We are really happy we took this tour and we learned a great deal.

Informational and interesting. Well done. The guide was very knowledgable and enjoyed his job. Would recommend

The Nuremberg tour was part of a longer tour of Munich (including Dachau), Salzberg (including Bertesgaden), Prague and Vienna. The day of the Nuremberg tour was a highlight - powerful, moving...to stand where history happened.

It covers the main areas. I liked that the court room was last there was a lot to see in museum so we stayed to seethe whole exhibit.

This was a great tour learning about the impact of the trials along with Nazi Germany. Rob was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, added lots of stories and fun! This is a great tour, I highly recommend it and hope you get Rob as your guide.

Rob was our guide. Very smooth pick and transportation. He was amazing and very knowledgeable and funny. We had a great time!

We visited Courtroom 600 13 years ago but this time we took family. We were fortunate to have a cruise-ship arranged tour guide who was also a history teacher and member of a local history society. He was amazing and led our small group through every aspect of the trials. I felt like I was attending a graduate-level class on the Nuremberg Trials. It made me tingle to gaze on this scene and consider what happened here. Though only a few Nazis were actually tried, the world saw that there can be consequences for evil leaders and military brass. Like a funeral acting as an inflection point to allow those who are grieving to start to move on... the Trials served as an inflection point in post WWII world recovery.

Excellent tour met all expectations, our guide was great and very knowledgeable. Pick up and drop all as per agreed, would definitely recommend

Seba was our guide, and he was outstanding. His knowledge was amazing and very interesting. Thank you Seba!😀

Rob was a great guide: knowledgeable, engaging and patient. He welcomed questions and gave a great tour. We learned so much! We appreciated that we could sit in the van and listen to him, then walk to the sites. ..not just stand and walk for 4 hours.

Rob was a fantastic tour guide. He was so energetic and very informative. We learned so much and enjoyed the pace of the tour.

Excellent tour, no issue from booking to completion, good communication re pick up point etc and guide arrived on time. Rob our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and nothing too much trouble, would recommend

This tour is not recommended. Ostensibly conducted in English, we all agreed that the narration was almost impossible to understand (the guide's Italian accent was almost impenetrable, and frequent mispronunciations made things worse) The guide's knowledge of the 'history' he purported to relate was poor: this led to disputes with members of the tour group who often knew better than he did. His fairly aggressive manner left little room for dissent: at one point he said we thought he was lying!! As an example of an outrageous claim he insisted on as truth was that Paul Hindenburg 'disappeared', or - at the very least one could be certain what had happened to him. Of course this is incorrect: Hindenburg passed away at the grand age of 86 due to cancer. His remains are interred at Marburg.

Our tour guide was very informative. We visited the Nazi rallying areas as well as the courtroom. The courtroom includes an audio tour which we did. Very well done.

Very well organized, Rob was an excellent guide! He provided many tips that we didn’t know about the history of the WWII
