5.00My husband and I had a private walking tour of the Amsterdam Jewish Quarter by Trigger Tours. Andrea was our assigned guide. She was excellent--very knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour. The pace was good and we covered a lot of grounds. The whole tour took a little over 2 hours as they had indicated.
Great tour!

5.00The tour was definitely worth the time to take. Our guide Maria gave us a lot of background on what occurred during that time and pointed out l many things we would never have picked up on our own.

5.00This was our favorite part of our trip to Amsterdam! Aaron was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He was extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, friendly, inclusive, and charismatic. We were so impressed by all his knowledge! He took us to see where the Jews picked up their yellow stars during the war, as well as the deportation station. We went to the holocaust memorial and other very fascinating landmarks around the city! His commentary was so interesting and we learned so much from him! Someone in our family was a slower walker due to an injury and Aaron made sure to wait for him and never walked too far ahead which we really appreciated. We can’t recommend this experience enough, especially with Aaron!
Aaron was a great guide, really knowledgeable & made time for lots of questions within a small group.. highly recommend

5.00Aaron was our guide, small group of 6, very open to questions en route. Our tour lasted over 2hrs; lots of interesting facts about the history of the country but I’d say the emphasis is around the Jews’ history. This is not wholly about Anne Frank & does not include her house (which needs booking separately & weeks in advance!)
Relevant and inspiring experience
