Great walking tour The tour was very informative. Despite torrential rain, the whole group was completely engaged and stayed for the 2-hour duration. Be warned, the tour does not include entry to the Anne Frank house. Some of us did not catch this when registering and were disappointed.

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!

Complimenti a cavalli Visita molto interessante spiegata in maniera eccelsa dalla guida Giovanni. Ci ha dato un'idea della vita di Anna Frank e delle vicissitudini degli ebrei in quel periodo, preparato e gentile!

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!

Giovanni was an excellent guide on our Van Gogh two hour tour. He was totally immersed with the art history and life of the artist. Kudos to Giovanni!
