Passionate about history - We had a wonderful tour with Keese. He was so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things WWII and the Anne Frank story. Keese made it personal with stories of his own family’s history. Definitely ask for Keese if you choose the tour.

Great walking tour! - The guide James was very knowledgeable and took us to many parts of Amsterdam where many tragic events took place during the persecution of the Jewish population in Netherlands. It was surreal and poignant standing outside apartments of people who had been driven from their homes and treated so inhumanely, and the various buildings that were used by the Nazis in their persecution. The pace and duration of the walk was just right.

Excellent tour - would highly recommend. - An excellent tour led by our guide, James. He was incredibly knowledgeable and sincere in his delivery of the information. We learnt a great deal about life during that period, which at times was very moving. Thank you James. My only negative was finding the Meeting point at 51C which was confusing!!!! Why not just say meet by the entrance of the H’Art museum? Would have been much clearer!!

Highlight of our trip - This was an interesting and insightful tour. It was the highlight of our trip. David was our guide and I can’t say enough good things about him- he was so knowledgeable. It was a great walking tour for anyone interested in history. Don’t miss this tofu. P.S. the name is misleading but we knew the tour didn’t go in the Anne Frank house. We went to the Anne Frank house separately and this tour was much more in depth and informational.

Excellent - If you want to learn about Amsterdam's Jews during WW2 then do this tour. James took us to inconspicuous locations with sad stories, even current tram tracks!

Great tour but it said ANNE FRANK in title which is very misleading - Both Josha and and the tour were great, however we were under the impression that the Anne Franke house was included, based on how the title read. Anne Franke house IS NOT included in this tour.

Misleading Tour Name and Content. - Tour guide was great and knowledgeable but the tour itself was VERY MISLEADING. There was very little associated with Anne Frank other than she was one of the Jews killed during WWII. The tour is billed as an Anne Frank tour and we thought this included the house. Only with you click into the tour details of what is “not included” do you see that the house is not included. You done even go near the house (they are banned from going near as they as not associated with the Anne Frank house at all. Still an interesting tour but now what we expected. Buyer Be Ware!
