What travelers are saying
Excellent!
This tour was absolutely outstanding. Our guide, Anita Gosschalk Liemburg, was wonderful — knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply engaging. She not only explained the historical context of the war and the Nazi occupation, but also made the stories personal, helping us connect with the real people who lived through these tragic times. It was moving, informative, and beautifully told. I left with a deeper understanding of Amsterdam’s history and a renewed sense of how important it is to keep these stories alive and remembered. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Amsterdam.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Anne Frank's Amsterdam Jewish History & WWII semi-private tour with Clare K. She was super friendly and shared so much historic information - more than I felt I knew about that time in history. It has prompted me to want to re-read the Anne Frank Diary book. I would recommend to others.
