Our guide Jonas told the story of Anne Frank's life in a very sensitive and authentic way. In between, he gave us time to pause and let the events of that time sink in. I can only recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the subject of the Second World War and is in Amsterdam. The tour lasted 2 hours for us. I would recommend taking the tour earlier in the day so that you can go to the museum afterwards. Unfortunately this was not possible for us as we were unable to get tickets at such short notice. The tour was so interesting for us that we would have liked to have had a look at the local area afterwards.

Our guide Gauthier was extraordinary on the tour, sharing with us some very moving places. On the other hand, the address of the meeting point was not very clear for many people, as we went to Anne Frank's house and not to the synagogue.

The guide, Linn was more than brilliant. Knowingly, well prepared, and respectful of the story behind the walk. And a really good storyteller. Would recommend her to all we know.

Nice array of paintings and various mediums but the museum was a bit confusing to navigate. Wish there were better signage and it was organized a bit better by artist. would definitely recommend getting a guided tour for this reason my sister was able to get a ticket but the rest were sold out.

Audiovisual guide in French for the museum and synagogue. We appreciated the warm welcome from the staff. We appreciated the guide. However, concerning the information, we did not understand that the entrance to Anne Franck's house was not included. Also, we were late in receiving your proposal for booking the entrance to the synagogue. We would have liked to have received this information earlier. Fortunately, we were staying in Amsterdam to benefit from the museum and synagogue entrance.

The tour guide did an excellent commentary; detailed and enthusiastically presented. However for a relatively short time we had difficulty convincing the AF staff that we had paid for tickets. The ticket notification that was sent via What's AP and arrived the day before the visit could not be opened. The tour guide eventually was able to make progress and we did make the visit.
