I'm Andreas, a 30 year old German born and raised in Nuremberg. The first walking tour tour I joined was with my grandfather who lived in Nuremberg for 86 years. He showed his 5 year old grandson his city. Now, 25 years later, I want to do the same to you and show you my city. This is my mission. Since I started this, a lot changed. Now we are an international team of born Nuremberg citizen, Italian historians and Columbian lawyers. We offer professional and passionate old-town tours in English, Spanish and German in the cities Nuremberg and Bamberg! We do what we do, because we love it and therefore we are happy to being your Gurus in Nuremberg and in Bamberg! For more check also our website at https://www.nurembergfreetour.com/
