Our guide, Guido, the Jewish quarter and Anne Frank

5.00Guido was an excellent guide for the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam and the private tour was definitely worth the money. He was personable, funny and easy to hang out with for a few hours. He is from Amsterdam and he knows the city intimately. He was very knowledgeable about the Jewish section of the town and knew the history of the Jewish quarter. He was sensitive to the significance and the relevance of today’s current issues and the past Amsterdam has experienced. The Anne Frank hiding place is worth your time to visit. The history of what the family went through was hell. Seeing the small space the 8 people shared for 2 years was unfathomable. Should we ever come back to Amsterdam, we won’t hesitate to contact Guido for a guided tour of another section of Amsterdam.

5.00This is one of the best tours we took on our stay in Amsterdam. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. We visited the holocaust memorial wall which was an extremely emotional place. At the end of the walking tour we ended at the Anne Frank’s house. What an extraordinary place. You have been told about this ,read about it and seen movies about it but until you experience it you then really understand what they went thru. Highly recommended this tour.
One of the very best tourists we went on.We learned so much about the history

5.00Kaleigh was passionate & well versed She has degrees in history and art. History obviously US born. So English was perfect. She was so kind and accommodating to us being older and not as nimble, but the history, the knowledge and the interesting stories she shared were amazing. Well, worth the money in time, one of the best the tourists we've been on

5.00Kayleigh was an amazing tour guide! She is so knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and the Jewish Quarter and able to answer any questions you may have about the city. She is also super cute and personable. This is the second time I’ve taken this tour (first with friends and a year later with my husband) and I still learned new information the second time around. The way the tour is structured leaves you at the Anne Frank to tour on your own. Very sobering but definitely a must see while in Amsterdam. Highly, highly recommend Kayleigh and this tour!
Kayleigh is phenomenal!

5.00This private tour was truly private and was limited to myself, my wife and our two traveling companions. Kaleigh was our guide and she was knowledgeable, engaging and great fun. Could not have asked for a better experience.
Wonderful experience!!

5.00My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with our guide, Inbal. She made the history walk interactive and informative. It was a lesson in the Jewish history that we were mostly unaware of. We wanted to dedicate part of our stay in Amsterdam to honor those from the past that perished as well as getting a more in depth understanding of their immigration story. We also appreciated the various statues and memorials honoring those that challenge the norm. Our Anne Frank “house” tickets were delivered the morning of the walk and we gained access without issue.
