Clare is a knowledgeable guide who has an obvious interest in the subject matter. Her photo book added a perspective of the actual period. We enjoyed her tour and definitely recommend. She also recommended the resistance museum which is fascinating with all the stories.
Irina was an exceptional tour guide. Her knowledge of the history of the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam and the resistance who helped the Jews during this period of persecution was amazing. The 2.5 hour tour went so quickly and Irina’s attention to detail and her personable approach had the members of the group riveted. We can highly recommended this tour l👍 Patsy & Peter, Australia.
It involves a good bit of EASY walking. Ask for Anita. She is knowledgeable, inclusive, balanced , and responded to all questions.
Clare was so knowledgeable and helpful. My 12 year old daughter and I had an amazing time and learned so much about Anne’s story. It’s a sad story but one that we should all take the time to learn if we are in Amsterdam.
Great walking tour of Amsterdam and its WWII Jewish history. Our guide Frank was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Monique was an awesome guide on our private tour. She was very easy to be with and gave us a ton of extremely interesting and educational information. We highly recommend her!
Clare was a great guide, very knowledgeable, totally open to questions and really brought the subject matter to life.
This tour walked around the neighborhood and area surrounding Anne Frank’s house. Our guide Marko was extremely knowledgeable about the story of Anne Frank and her family as well as the history of the Jewish population dating many years before WW2 and shared the interaction between this ethnic group, the city of Amsterdam and the Nazi Army. He pointed out various landmarks that were and some that still are important to the history and culture of the Jewish people. Seeing actual buildings and neighborhoods while hearing the stories of the struggles and atrocities endured by the Jewish people is much more impactful than just reading about it in a book.
Clare was lovely. She gave a very informative and powerful tour of the Jewish Quarter and the WWII atrocities that occurred there. I appreciated the historic photos and explanations she shared, which were great supplements.
Tijs is the most amazing, informative and passionate guide. The outline of the tour takes you through a distressing age of human history, and this is conveyed with sensitivity, sorrow, understanding and acknowledgement of inglorious events. I would absolutely recommend Tijs to act as your guide
Wonderful tour with Clare who provided a wealth of information and answered all of our questions.
Marco gave a wonderful tour. He was outstanding and very knowledgeable I everything. I strongly recommend this tour.
Our tour guide Josje was a wealth of information and stories telling the harrowing experiences of the Jewish people in Amsterdam. The tour was informative and paced just right.
The guide was very knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed what he was doing. The weather was a little rainy and he was conscientious of being sure that we were comfortable. It is a great alternative activity if you cannot get tickets to Anne Frank's house! We learned a lot.
Make time to understand not only what the Frank’s experienced, but what occurred to all citizens of Amsterdam/Netherlands. This tour is a must if visiting the city. Extremely informative, time went by very quickly.
The tour guide Clare is excellent. Very thorough and knowledgeable.highly recommended and should not be missed.
Monique is very passionate about the history in Amsterdam and especially what happened in Amsterdam during the World War II. She went above and beyond to explore the historical sites. In addition, she shared different stories and thoughts about the people who lived in Amsterdam during the war. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. This tour gave us an insight view before we visited Ann Frank House right after the walking tour.
Our guide Monique was amazing! A wealth of knowledge and very pleasant. Highly recommended, and thorough
Jo was very knowledgeable, answered all our many questions and could pivot from historical to modern topics.she was friendly and flexible when we needed a snack or cup of tea.we would recommend her tour to everyone!
Great experience. The walk around town detailing the history was amazing. Our Guide was truly a blessing with her knowledge.
This was an amazing tour! I was fortunate to have a tour with just my guide. My guide was so wonderful and so knowledgeable. It will be one of the best tours I’ll take.
Clare was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and was able to bring the stories to life via her explanations and pictures. You could tell that she was passionate about the topic.
Excellent tour. Anita was a fantastic host with deep knowledge of the places we visited. Very happy!
Wonderful tour! We learned so much Amsterdam history and everything we could about Anne Frank. Highly recommend Huibert.

Claire was a wealth of information and energy. I would highly recommend her and this tour to everyone! Lots of walking and history.
Fantastic experience. Clare was an excellent guide who helped us gain insight into an important time in history. It was very informative, interesting and profound. Would thoroughly recommend.
Such a great walking tour! Knowledge was outstanding, compassionate and thoughtful about the subject. We kept a pace that was good for the group with frequent wellness checks along the way. I thought it far exceeded a simple Anne Frank visit (which I’ve done in the past). If you want to know more and the why and the how could these events happen, take this tour. It was a clear view of a city unfortunately involved in a terrible time in history but one that chooses to remember it so it never happens again.
It was an unforgettable experience. Our guide Clare was extremely knowledgeable and presented the story in an informative way. She also recommended places to visit which we found interesting. Thank you for this emotional trip.
Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable in the history of Anne Frank, and the city of Amsterdam overall. Took us to see many monuments, taking the time to explain the significance of each, as well as how they came to be in the city. She was able to answer all questions, as well as provide recommendations of various activities in the city.
Marco was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and singer group was small he did a great job of personalizing to our needs and pace. Excellent.
