Amazing tour! - If you love history… this tour is definitely worth it!! It’s a small tour of maximum 8 people which makes us enjoy the guide’s expertise even more. Totally worth the price.

So glad we did this tour - Eva was an incredible tour guide with a personal story connected to this tour. The museum was sad, important, and so well done. Dutch Tours was amazing and we wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with them if in the area again. Thank you Eva for a memorable day and for sharing your family history with us.

Vought Camp - Very sobering and anguishing subject matter, but should be viewed by all. The memorial to the children killed was eye opening and heartbreaking. Excellent narrative from tour guide.

5 stars is all you need to know! - Eva was knowledgeable and personable and added her own family history to the tour. Additionally, we felt very safe riding with her in a comfortable and air conditioned van. Eva was able to tailor the tour based on the prior knowledge of those in our group. We will recommend the tour to anyone coming to Amsterdam. It’s important to learn where hate can lead. We are so glad we decided to book the tour.

Interesting - Very interesting. Lots of facts to read. Not much to look at. Our guide was very good. We didn’t get to go into the woods which was a shame. Also a shame the prison has so much of the camp. It should all be a memorial.
