Nuremberg Tour Choice Question

[Live4cruises]

I’m posting this on both the River Cruise forum and the River Cruise Ports forum.

 

We have tour choices in Nuremberg that include World War II sites and a tour of the Audi factory. I’m doing the War sites, but DH is torn between my tour and the Audi factory. I am wondering who has done the Audi tour, or both tours, and what your thoughts are? I consider DH to be an “average” car buff for a man - interested, but not fanatical. He is also an engineer, so interested in manufacturing facilities.

 

Thank you for any input!

I think that the Audi tour is only offered by Scenic - but I may be wrong on that.

 

When we were in Nuremberg 5 years ago, there was the option of the WWII tour, or the Medieval tour. I did the Medieval - DH the WWII.

 

He got out to the Zeppelin Field and parade grounds that are about 30 minutes outside of town. He did get to the castle - but a shorter visit. Our tour spent more time in the castle, then walked into the Old Town.

 

I am not sure what there is in the Audi tour that would be any different than any other car plant.... Although he would get a view - first hand - of the precision of German engineering.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help. We're not in Nuremberg until September - but the Audi tour isn't offered, as that is the day we get off the ship (ie: time is tight to get a tour before most passengers head off to Prague....)

Been there, done that: http://www.rivercruiseinfo.com/content/trip-report-ingolstadt-audi-museum :)

 

You do not get a tour through the Audi factory, but instead through the museum from the first car with a horse carriage chassis until today.

 

On the other side, Nuremberg's WW2 sites (the Ralley Grounds and Courtroom 600) are totally unique. So I would rather recommend these.

 

Or, as I wrote in my report: I think Uniworlds approach to offer the Audi Tour from Regensburg on makes more sense than Nuremberg, where Scenic guests already have 2 choices..

 

My 2 cents
