Great and informative tour - Our guide James was very knowledgeable about the impact of WWII on Amsterdam and the Jewish Quarter. The tour really brings home the horrors that were visited upon the Jews of Amsterdam. James’s soft spoken and low drama delivery style is perfect for a tour with this content. Very important piece of human history that needs to be remembered. The tour puts the Anne Frank experience into context, highly recommend it.
