Great job on the videos. We are headed out on Viking’s Grand European Cruise this Friday with extensions on both ends. Found your videos very informative. Thank you.

We were eagerly waiting for your video about our hometown of Nuremberg. It was very interesting to see what tours were offered for the cruise passengers. You saw the most important highlights of Nuremberg and showed it very well in the video. 👍👍It is striking that Nuremberg's Nazi past is visited more by foreign visitors than by Germans. This is certainly because we as Germans really cannot be proud of this darkest time in Germany. The Nazi party rally grounds are now used for festivals and open-air concerts, i.e. for the opposite of their original purpose. But there are always discussions about what should be done with this area. Thank you for the great video! 😊😊🐷 By the way, we are at the moment on a 3 month trip through your home country and we will probably in Chicago in some weeks. So expect a video about Chicago in some months! 😁😁

Danke vielmals!! We have been to Nürnberg a number of times and love it! I think Germany has come to terms with its past quite well and it is good that those sites remain accessible. Nie wieder! We are glad you are traveling in the US. We would love to meet you and take you around to some of the sights of the city (although nothing compares with Nürnberg). Drop me an email at [e-mail] and we can arrange to meet - at least have some dinner
