Amazing experience - Had a day solo whilst on holiday so decided to do this walking tour. It was absolutely amazing. James was so so informative, and really brought the history of Amsterdam alive. Worth every penny, and would have done it again had I been in the city longer.

Jewish Walking Tour - The tour was very flat. While the itinerary was interesting, the guide seemed very distracted as he gave the tour. However, we found learning about spots outside of the Anne Frank House very informative.
