Very informative tour! Our guide Stan was exceptional and had so much knowledge about Anne Frank. With this tour you also learn about the Second World War and Jewish Quarter. I can truly say it is a must do when visiting Amsterdam. Amsterdam is much more than just the Red light District and Coffeeshop!!
Excellent tour! Stan is a great guide and is very knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish community. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

It was a great experience learning about the Jewish history of Amsterdam and the Second World War. Our guide (Stan) was outstanding!
A valuable experience – the guide was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subjects. He provided us with lots of local context and facts about the Jewish history. We were already very familiar with the story of Anne Frank but we still learned many details we did not know about.
This tour was a real history lesson, very informative. We were really impressed by the knowledge of our guide. You will learn so much history and context with this tour.
Stan seemed to have a lot of passing guiding us around. We were with a group of five (family) and all of us were truly impressed by his knowledge. Very informative tour especially for our kids.
