Moving Experience - Marten was an incredible guide. It was a very moving experience. I highly recommend him. He is not just a tour guide, but also an historian. You are sure to learn a lot.

Wonderful private historic tour - Marten was truly a wonderful tour guide. He told the story of Amsterdam’s golden age and the impact WWII had on the Jewish community who lived as well as the current impacts of COVID. It was an enlightening and emotional tour. We discussed a range of things from architecture, art, and economics. Marten was very kind and open to all our questions and curiosities, it felt like getting to take a walk with my history professor. You should absolutely take his tour, I know I will when I visit again. Thank you Marten!

Excellent Anne Frank private walking tour - I have long been interested in Anne Frank and have read her diary several times, visited the Anne Frank House and Museum, and seen films and documentaries. Because I wanted more in depth information, I signed up for a walking tour of the neighborhood where the Franks lived prior to going into hiding. The tour was given by Rian Verhoeven , an author who has done extensive original research and has published books on the subject. Among the sights I saw were the apartment building where the Franks lived in Amsterdam after leaving Germany, the Montessori school Anne attended, and even the shop where her diary was purchased. Rian discussed Anne, her family, and the others in the Secret Annex within the context of the German occupation of the Netherlands and its effect on the Dutch Jewish community. Rian answered my many questions in copious detail based on her considerable knowledge. I highly recommend this tour even to those, like me, who are already well familiar with the story of Anne.

Thinking I had purchased... - Thinking I had purchased tickets to the Anne Frank house and finding out we were not going to see her house and walking around the city instead. I felt manipulated by a website into purchasing the wrong tickets. Anna did a great job with our tour

Misleading Tour Desription - The description is misleading as it included “Anne Frank museum” (her picture is on the Advertisement for the tour contributing to the confusion) leading one to believe it includes a tour of the Anne Frank House but it does not. That is why we purchased the tour and we’re disappointed that it was not part of the tour. The description says it ends at the Anne Frank house (admission not included) which I interpreted to mean that I would need to pay the extra price for admission which I was fine with. However, tickets to the museum must be purchased separately and several weeks in advance. Be aware if your desire is to tour the Anne Frank House and don’t make the same mistake I did.

Tour guide 45 minutes... - Tour guide 45 minutes late. During the tour, she walked fast ahead of us in spite of being asked to slow down multiple times and tended to go 6-10 feet ahead of us. She walked in busy bike paths when there was sidewalk and she crossed against red lights with traffic, left us on the other side while we waited to be safe with crossing busy intersections. She was asked to speak next to us so we could hear her better and she did not. She had to be asked to stop so we could take photos. She pointed out the buildings and was repeatedly asked to discuss architectural and historical information, she did not. When directly asked questions she was evasive or said that she did know. Based on the information from you website we did not go in any of the free stops along the way and some facilities were closed due to her being late. In fact, she was unsure what the tour was to include until we showed her the printout of trip expectations from the website.
