I am glad we did this. We got a sweet tour of a special ChristlesMarkets area! We are traveling Germany Austria, and Czech Republic during Christmas, and I wasn’t sure how I’d really feel in Nuremberg given the Nazi Rally history (horrific!). This added a human spirit that I needed as she told us more about the market traditions, walked us through local artisans stalls and stopped and got us Yummy punsch, brats, gingerbread. I might have stopped at brats and then gingerbread, as opposed to gingerbread then brats, but it worked out fine. Highly recommend this tour. Nuremberg has very traditional Xmas markets. Glad we had a guide one night!

We had a fun, educational walking tour with snacks and drinks along the way. We visited many authentic German booths and learned how things were made. It was the right length of time - 2 hours. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the Nuremberg Christmas market.
Just ok….not all that great

Although our tour guide gave us some history we felt that the tour of the market was just ok. For the $ we would have like to have tasted more traditional German food.
Busy, but fun

Delicious food and drink, but SO SO busy. We were there the weekend before Christmas and it was completely ridiculously busy. That was our mistake though. The tour is amazing and so informative.
The best food, and a grand overview!

The Christkindlmarkt in Nürnberg with this guided tour was quite fun and enlightening - the food, of course, was amazing and I have decided there is no better winter than Glühwein! The crowds were overwhelming maki g navigation difficult, and yet the sites were spectacular! So much fun and well worth the investment of time and money! Martina - I hope that is her name - was exceptional!

Memorable tour with some tasty snacks and warm drinks along the way. The tour guide provided interesting information about the traditions and origins of the markets and Nuremberg’s history. The markets were extremely crowded which made following the guide difficult at times. Even with the crowds she managed to get to all of the major areas of the markets. Would suggest doing this on a weekday if you can.
