La passeggiata "Elena è stata una guida fantastica per il nostro tour su Anna Frank. È molto preparata, puntuale e professionale. Ha arricchito la visita con dettagli storici precisi e curiosità che non si trovano nei libri, facendoci immergere completamente nel contesto dell'epoca. Una guida eccellente, gentile e disponibile. Consigliatissima a tutti i visitatori."
