5.00We learned so much about the Jewish experience in Amsterdam prior to and during World War II. Our guide, Martina was wonderful attending to our needs and interests. We took the trolley and arrived at the Ann Frank House in time for our tour. Martina even arranged for us to have coffee and waffles in the cafe. Thank you so much and I can’t recommend this tour enough.
Fantastic tour and guide!

5.00Our Anne Frank and Jewish History of Amsterdam Private Tour with Kaleigh was nothing short of superb. From start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing both historical context and personal insights that brought the stories to life in a meaningful way. Her warm, friendly personality made the experience feel like exploring the city with a friend, and she was wonderfully accommodating to our pace and questions. Kaleigh’s passion for history and genuine care for her guests made this tour one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Highly recommended!
