A really worthwhile experience - The tour guide was very knowledgeable. He showed us sites that we may well have missed. He related really well with all participants and given the nature of some of the sites he checked in on our wellbeing. The tour was good value for money and instructions were very clear.

Moving and informative tour - Our tour guide Aaron is an Irish native who was a history major. While he has only lived in Amsterdam for a few years, he has extensive knowledge of the Jewish history of the Netherlands. He communicated it well and with sensitivity. He took us to significant sites. The highlight was the Holocaust memorial wall with the names of the 102,000 Jews from the area who were killed.
