The best tour out there - My wife and I took this tour in April, 2024. It was the first of about 6-7 Jewish heritage tours we’ve taken in Europe. They’ve all been good, but this one was the best. The information was mind blowing, and even comparing notes with friends that went on a competitor’s tour confirmed our belief. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

James was outstanding. - James has captured the Jewish history, especially during the tumultuous 1940s, and skillfully transmits it in a heartfelt way. My wife and I were so impressed that we visited two of his suggested sites after the tour.

A must-do in Amsterdam - This walking tour was the best thing we did on the visit. It was thought provoking, interesting and showed great insight into the lives and suffering of the Jewish people in the Netherlands. James was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. I saw the city in a new light through his insights. I would definitely recommend this tour.
