The experience was awesome. First, our guide Elsa was very knowledgeable & sweet. She informed me of details that I never heard before. The walking experience was not that long ( we got to sit down at times) 8 stops. When we arrived at the house we walked right in, no waiting. A lot of the detail in the house was explained during the walking tour by our guide Elsa. So it was easier to comprehend. Highly recommend the walking tour. *****

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.

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.

Sure, we read Anne Frank’s diary in school, but nvigating the very streets she knew is a whole different experience. This city tour isn't like any other we've done. It plays out like a pocket time machine—every stop brings you to a different historical event, so we joked that the real question isn’t where you are but *when*. The audio and visuals are top-notch without being cheesy, and the story hits hard in all the right ways. The route is a bit longer than we expected, but we were able to complete it over two different afternoons so there was no rush or overload. Also it's a great way to explore the city! (Station 5 was our favorite and also the stop at teh Names Monument was incredibly powerful.) Thank you for making our time in Amsterdam so meaningful!
