★★★★★8 months agoThank you so much to Leena for a wonderful tour and accommodating our situation. We really appreciated your help and fantastic tour. Recommend being super early to the meeting point to make sure you’re in the right spot, as guides take off quickly without making sure ticket holders are present.
Luis Pereira
★★★★★7 years agoHighly interactive and good education. The museum describes the 15th century regarding the Nürnberg Town hall and describes how the dungeons and torture took place. The tour is free and is audio tour guide in 4 languages, Spanish, Italian, English, and German. After the tour there are other sites recommended which is free and I would recommend for those who seek to explore and learn or pass time in the Medieval Dungeouns. 😎😀😃😊😉
