The guide Marie was fantastic! She included many details that was so interesting! I had read the book once again before leaving for my vacation for it to be fresh in my mind. She included reading passages of Anne Frank's diary, which made it more special. Once inside the house of Anne Frank because of Marie, everything was more clear. Wonderful day. I highly recommend!

A great experience with our guide Gauthier! We wanted to visit Anne Franck's house, but for lack of space, we found this guided tour of the Jewish quarter, and frankly, no regrets! We were able to get a lot of explanations, on a side we're not used to with accounts of the war in France, and it was really great to have this other version! We really loved it, and a huge bonus point for Gauthier, who was really great, and exceeded the time initially planned. A very big thank you for this visit!

The walking tour was very informative and gave us a great insight into the Jewish Quarter and how things took place in WWII. Our tour guide was very friendly and well versed in the history and area. The pace was easy and the information excellent! We would highly reocmmend it.

I did the audio guided walking tour prior visiting the Anne Frank House, and it was the perfect addition and preparation for it, even though I read the diary and was familiar with Anne's story before. It unfortunately was a rather rainy grey-ish day but somehow also the perfect fit as the tour (at least for me) was very touching and emotional.
