Take the Time - Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and open to explaining things that we didn't know. Or, maybe we had the wrong details, and he was kind in helping us understand. A lot of depth to the experience.

Wonderful opportunity to explore and learn about what happened during Nazi occupation - The guide Michel was extremely knowledgeable and had great interest in the history of the area. I would highly recommend this tour. We didn’t get tickets to the Anne Frank house and did this instead. It was a great experience. My husband and I were by ourselves on the tour and had much opportunity to ask questions.

Interesting and moving tour - Very interesting and sometimes even emotional tour! Unbelievable what once happened during the war and still happens to people in war. Our guide Guido was kind, friendly and patient. Well informed as well. This tour gives you so much more information than just visiting Anne Frank’s museum. We recommend!

Memorable - We highly recommend this tour. We learned so much about the Jewish Quarter and what occurred during the Hollocaust. The Shadow Monument and National Holocaust Monument was overwhelming and emotional, as it should be. As was the Never Forget Auschwitz Memorial. While you don't get to see the Anne Frank Huis, it's a tour worth taking. And our tour guide was the best!

Informative and interesting tour of the Jewish quarter - James our tour guide was very polite engaging and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the Jewish quarter and how Amsterdam was in World war 2. Would definitely recommend but in conjunction with Anne Frank tour. Unfortunately we were too late to book the house.
