The tour was just amazing. Although it felt a little rushed, the activities are well planned for an introductory trip and well managed; deparating and ending on time. The guides were fabulous, providing clear and concise explanation and were friendly too.

Having read Anne's diary, it brought the annexe to life, just wish that it had been furnished as it was, this would have given us a much better feeling of what it would have been like to experience living in such close quarters for such a long time.

Great tour, great information. I loved being able to see the streets and harbor back how they were in the 1600s. The canal tour was so fun, would recommend. If you love history this is for you
