Uncover the best of WWII History the local Way

"Laura Maria is an exceptional guide-deeply knowledgable, thoughtful and completely engaging. Her understanding of Amsterdam’s WWll history is outstanding, but what truly set her apart is the way she weaves personal stories into the larger historical context. The tour was far more than just a history walk. It was a moving and meaningful experience that we will carry with us. Cannot recommend Laura Maria highly enough. Chris and Dave"

"Marten was so passionate , knowledgeable and interesting about the history of Amsterdam , Holland , and WW2 that our time with him flew by . He was able to show us places and experiences that only a local would know . Loved every minute . Thank you Marten ! "

"Laura Marie took my husband and me on a tour of Amsterdam focusing on the experience of the people of Amsterdam, particularly the Jewish people, in WW2. She was so knowledgeable and had so much information to share. She generously shared some of her family’s experience during the war which gave her a unique perspective. Although it is never upbeat to discuss war and Laura Maria shared stories of resistance and bravery as well as the horrors of the Holocaust and its aftermath. The visit to Holocaust Memorial/former theater turned deportation center for Jews was particularly informative. The actual film and recorded first hand accounts of people who were there and survived was fascinating. I had so many questions- Laura Maria answered them all in a way that was comprehensive and easy to understand. She was so warm and engaging. I highly recommend touring with her."

"Marten was a wonderful tour guide. We very much enjoyed his insight into both history and art. He showed us many sites that we would not have seen by ourselves and provided interesting background and commentary on historical and current issues. Would highly recommend him as a skilful guide with exceptional knowledge. He was very kind , he bought us a lovely hot drink to thaw from the rain !! "
