 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo partecipato al tour a piedi di Amsterdam e del Quartiere Ebraico legato alla storia di Anna Frank con Petra ed è stata un'esperienza straordinaria. Petra è una guida incredibilmente preparata, coinvolgente e sensibile. Riuscire a raccontare una storia così toccante ed emozionante senza mai risultare pesante è un vero talento, e lei ci è riuscita alla perfezione. Ci ha fatto scoprire angoli della città ricchi di storia che da soli non avremmo mai notato, arricchendo il percorso con aneddoti precisi e un grande rispetto per il tema trattato. Consiglio questo tour a chiunque visiti Amsterdam e voglia comprendere davvero l'anima e la storia di questa città. Grazie ancora a Petra per la bellissima giornata!

 Verified Amazing Tour Such an informative and fascinating guided tour; Daniel was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable, and able to answer all our questions. The small group aspect meant it was a great chance to get to know those we were walking with from all around the world, and we left so much more informed on Anne Frank and the Jewish community in Amsterdam more broadly. Thank you Daniel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo appena finito il tour di Anna Frank con Petra, che è stata una guida eccezionale durante il tour che ci ha portati dalla Sinagoga Ebraica fino alla sua casa, in realtà la casa "rifugio". La sua preparazione è stata evidente fin dai primi istanti: ogni dettaglio storico è stato affrontato con precisione e chiarezza, senza mai risultare dispersivo o noioso. Petra ha saputo coinvolgere il nostro piccolo gruppo con una narrazione appassionante, rendendo viva una storia tanto importante e commovente. La sua capacità di collegare i luoghi visitati alla vita di Anna Frank e al contesto storico dell'epoca è stata davvero notevole. Inoltre, è stata attenta alle nostre domande e disponibile per approfondire ogni aspetto. Un'esperienza che consigliamo a chiunque voglia comprendere davvero la storia dietro questi luoghi, grazie a una guida preparata, empatica e coinvolgente.

 Verified An excellent and informative tour of the history of Anne Frank Our tour of Amsterdam, focusing on the Jewish history and the life of Anne Frank, was both enlightening and poignant. Nicole, our guide, brought a deep knowledge and sensitivity to the subject, allowing us to connect with the historical significance of each location. As we walked through the streets and visited key sites, her storytelling painted a vivid picture of Anne’s life and the broader context of Jewish experiences during World War II. Nicole’s thoughtful approach made the experience memorable, enhancing our understanding of this important chapter in history. An excellent tour guide. Thank you.
