Edwin was so informative. This was a great way to learn about the very sobering history of the county during the Holocaust. Nice to be on foot and take it all in.

Many thanks to Edwin Duarte for the most exceptional tour of the short life of Ann Frank. We learned so much more of the history of Amsterdam and the tragic story of the Jewish peoples. A must do tour!

​Mit Amy auf Anne Franks Spuren: Ein absolutes Highlight unserer Reise! Wir durften zu zweit an einer ganz tolle Führung von Amy teilnehmen. Sie hat uns ganz viel Wissenwertes und Spannedes über Anne, ihre Familie und Bekannte erzählt, Orte gezeigt und uns durch die Stadt geführt. Die 2 Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Amy hat die Führung spannend gestaltet, durch ihre Fragen an uns hat sie uns zum mitdenken animiert. Wir durften viel neues lernen und sind wirklich begeistert von der schönen Tour. Außerdem hat sie uns eine Übersicht mitgegeben mit ihren Favoriereten, Museen und spannendes was man in Amsterdam erleben kann das ist super cool für uns als Touristen. Viele vielen Dank! Laura & Sabine

WALKING TOUR IN AMSTERDAM Amazing tour with lots of history and significance. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable (Ollie) and also took the time to select his favorite passages from Anne Frank’s diary. He was able to answer questions on the spot and was great at keeping our group together.

Excellent and informative tour of the Van Gogh museum My guide was Petra, she was waiting at the meeting site when I arrived 15 minutes early, introduced herself and we chatted while we waited for one more person who ended up meeting us inside the museum. Petra was very professional yet made the tour very personal with her passion for the art and Van Gogh. Her explanations were thorough with loads of background info too. I’m so glad I booked this tour and I would highly recommend it
