We enjoy riding around and being able to see more sights and gain a bit more depth into the history, and Peter provided exactly that with a bit of humour along the way.

Review this Nuremberg day trip from Munich by train, with medieval sights, the Imperial Castle, Nazi Rally Grounds, guide tips, and practical drawbacks.

“Really torn on this one.

“Munich is a very crowded city, but they have bike lanes all over. Riding Segways is challenging due to the crowds and cobblestones, but still fun around town. My family wound up having a private tour, and our guide (sorry I forgot his name) was awesome and very patient with me since I was nervous going fast (can't say the same about my teen kids). He did not skip any attractions and we went over the time allotted to get to see everything which was really appreciated. We also arrived back to the shop as it started raining and he provided us with ponchos for our walk back to the…”
