What people are saying about Nuremberg

It was snowing and on the train you can’t really tell that much it was ventilated good. It was nice. I say come a little earlier because parking took forever because it was full and we had to wait till someone left. We were late due to that and missed our slot but they were kind enough to let us on the next train that was shorter time though

Elisabeth is an amazing guide! She made the trip so enjoyable and was always looking out for everyone. The trip was very well-planned.
