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 group guide was Manuel, who easily surpassed any tour guide I have ever witnessed. His knowledge , energy and communication skills were exceptional and we can't thank him enough for sharing bucketfuls of his knowledge about the Immigrant Jewish community and their integration with the Dutch community in Amsterdam from the early 20th century up to and through the Nazi occupation through to liberation day on 04 May 1945 and the subsequent history of the survivors of the Frank family. Manuel fielded dozens of questions with passion and detail which was delivered with positiivity and good humour where appropriate. His investment in building the presentation and guided tour has been immense and we can't thank him enough for educating us so much more in a short 120 minutes . His tour has a huge and lasting in impact and we would recommend his professionalism and welcoming style every time ! Please ensure that he is aware of this feedback from the 1030 am tour on Monday 28 April 2025. Bill and Sarah . UK

Many thanks to our guide Max, who made the tour lively and well organized. The young people were also very interested in his approach, a big compliment despite the difficult topic!

Our guide Joseph was wonderful: he gave us complete and relevant information about the purpose of the outing and answered all our questions adequately. For the canal cruise, unfortunately, it was raining heavily and it was difficult to take photos because of the drops of water on the windows. Thank you!
