David the tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate in presenting the history of the Jewish people, the diaspora, and the prejudices and inhumane treatment suffered by the Jewish people.

Very good back ground and walking tour. Highlighting the address of theMeeting place - and a photo- on the confirmation email would have been really helpful. All the confirmation said was it would not be at the Anne Frank House and you had to click on another link - I was out of Wi-Fi range when I remembered. Most of your clients are not from Amsterdam- we need extra help!!!

Our guide Lili was really great, it was such a great explanation and she made such an effort. We were a group of 8 people from Vienna and were very enthusiastic about this tour. This tour with Lili was our highlight 🥰 thank you so much ❤️
