This was terrible tour. If you don’t speak German they will give you a headset for English. However they want your passport or picture ID for it. We would never give up our passport so we handed over our drivers license. We were not told this when we purchased the tickets otherwise we would have declined this tour. Now, the worst part of this tour is that the person who is speaking over their PA is shouting. You can not hear the English speaking person over your headset. It was so bad that we had to take our headsets off and plug our ears. We asked her to lower her voice and it got worse. I am hard of hearing and it was horrible. I have no idea as to what was said or what we saw because we could understand any of this. We have been on numerous tours like this and they are usually great and enjoyable. Not this one.

I knew almost nothing about Nuremberg and I wanted to learn more about the city. I thought this bus tour did a great job. I learned something about the historical significance of the city and was able to see many of the important sites. It is a hop-on-hop-off tour. But, I did not actually get off at any of the sites. I decided to see the whole city in one go and come back later to the parts I thought were interesting. The live commentary is only in German. So, I opted for the headphones. It was advertised as a GPS Audioguide and I was a bit skeptical at first. But, they worked amazingly well. On the headphones is a GPS device and when you get close to an important site, it automatically triggers an English explanation. Normally, the explanation ends just as you arrive at the point of interest and you can then see it, knowing what you are looking at. Brilliant, really. The whole tour takes about 2 hours if you don‘t get off. If you get off, the next bus doesn‘t come for an hour. So plan accordingly. I recommend it.
