Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Four of us spent three hours with Marrten learning about what WWII was like here in the city. Super informative and very sobering. But we also had lots of laughs. Highly recommend "
"My husband and I had a terrific tour with Arunabha in Amsterdam. Her was a wealth of information and presented it in a kind and genuine manner. Loved the history, amazing buildings and all."
"Arunabha provided a vast amount of information on the history of Amsterdam, Netherlands, vis a vis the invasion by Nazis and many perspectives on the resistance. He was knowledgeable about the role of the Dutch Empire and its impact on Indonesia and other former “colonies”. Thanks for a great tour."
"We were so impressed with our tour with Marten. He was very knowledgeable about the Jewish district and history. He gave us a lot to think about. He also managed to work in lighter moments and share personal stories. He was very engaging. We give him 10 stars! "
"My tour with Tommi was amazing. I was traveling solo so had a one-to-one tour of the city. Tommi's historical knowledge and attention to detail was invaluable. He was such a pleasure to spend time with roaming around the city and discovering things that were off the beaten path. I loved it. Thank you, Tommi!"
"Marten is an expert - without a doubt. He truly cares about history and about the magnitude of the holocaust. Quite by accident, along the way, we had an incredible encounter with an Auschwitz survivor’s family; it was so moving, so emotional. Marten knows his stuff and is kind, friendly, and very engaging. I thank him for a very special afternoon. "
"Marten was such a knowledgeable person, he was engaging and friendly as soon as we met him. He told us and showed us so much in the relatively short time we spent with him. The tour was very moving, something I will never forget! I would definitely recommend a walking tour with Marten "
"Carolina had a lot of knowledge about the city and it's history. She was early for the tour and provided great historical and cultural context."
"Thank you Carolina for giving us such an insightful and moving tour of the Jewish quarter and history of the Jewish people in your city. Your knowledge is unparalleled and your compassion for the atrocities that took place in Amsterdam was moving. As a Jewish person, I was truly grateful for this entire experience. If anyone wants a great understanding of the history of the Jews here, do not hesitate to take this tour with Carolina. Thanks you again. "
"Marten was truly a wonderful tour guide. He told the story of Amsterdam’s golden age and the impact WWII had on the Jewish community who lived as well as the current impacts of COVID. It was an enlightening and emotional tour. We discussed a range of things from architecture, art, and economics. Marten was very kind and open to all our questions and curiosities, it felt like getting to take a walk with my history professor. You should absolutely take his tour, I know I will when I visit again. Thank you Marten! "
Learn about their personal stories and find out how you can explore Amsterdam with locals
Our locals will give you the best experiences that Amsterdam has to offer
Anne Frank’s diary gives us a powerful personal perspective. But with a local guide, you’ll gain insight into the city that shaped her story—from daily life before the war to the impact of Nazi occupation. These thoughtful reads offer historical context, human stories, and reasons why a private tour brings deeper meaning.
The museum is moving—but the full story spans beyond it. A private guide can show you Anne’s school, her family’s old neighborhood, and places tied to the Jewish community in WWII Amsterdam.
From the Hollandsche Schouwburg to the Resistance Museum, your guide connects Anne’s personal story to the wider history of Amsterdam’s Jewish community—and how it was forever changed.
A private tour allows time for reflection, conversation, and moments of pause. Unlike group tours, it’s personal and paced in a way that respects the sensitivity of the subject.
Many Dutch families have personal connections to WWII history. Your guide may share stories passed down through generations, adding a layer of humanity that goes beyond facts and dates.
Anne’s story is about courage, resilience, and hope. A thoughtful guide will help you explore these themes across the places you visit, while also honoring the loss and injustice of the era.
Still active today, this synagogue offers a connection to the Jewish community that existed long before the war. A local guide can explain its role in Amsterdam’s history and what it represents now.
Whether you’re curious, emotional, or unsure, your guide is there for a human conversation. A private experience offers the freedom to explore the story in a way that feels right for you.
Many Anne Frank tours can include or end near this museum, which highlights brave acts by Dutch citizens who resisted Nazi rule. Your guide can add personal stories to help these events come alive.
Look down and you may see 'stumbling stones'—tiny brass plaques honoring victims of the Holocaust. Your guide will help you spot and understand them, making sure no story is forgotten.
With the right guide, this tour becomes more than facts—it becomes a shared moment of remembrance, awareness, and hope. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the past and its relevance today.
