De Anne Frankwandeling en Joodse wandeling een absolute aanrader en des te meer met gids Peter. We (3 volwassenen en 2 kinderen van 11 en 14 jaar) hebben zondagochtend enorm genoten van de rondleiding met onze gids Peter! Hij vertelde op een duidelijke en boeiende manier over Anne Frank en de Joodse wijk. Met zijn verhalen en interessante weetjes wist hij ons van begin tot eind te boeien. Wat we extra waardeerden, was dat hij af en toe overschakelde van het Engels naar het Nederlands, zodat ook onze jongste alles goed kon volgen. Een attent gebaar! We waren heel blij met Peter als gids en kunnen hem van harte aanbevelen. Een leerrijke en indrukwekkende ervaring die ons ook doet stilstaan bij de boodschap van Otto Frank: leren uit het verleden, in de hoop dat geen enkel kind ooit nog hoeft mee te maken wat Anne en zoveel anderen hebben doorgemaakt. Een leerrijke en indrukwekkende ervaring!

Great guide Our guide Giovanni was wonderful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His stories and explanations made the artwork so much more engaging. It was my second time in the Rijksmuseum but the first time I enjoyed it so much, such that I was a little sad to leave at the end of the tour. Would come back!

One of my best experiences in Amsterdam The experience of the tour will stay with me for a long time. Our tour guide - Ginevra - was especially friendly, easy going and super prepared. I have learned a lot and will definitely re-read the book. Such a lovely afternoon it was.
