This is the 2nd tour I have done with Aron this year and I loved it even more. He speaks with such knowledge and passion that I am learning so much! I can't recommend this tour or Aron more highly if I tried, and twice in 2 months shows how much I enjoyed it!

Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting. To be clear: this is a walking tour that requires fast pace walking and this tour does not include Anne frank entrance as stated. There seemed to be some confusion on other reviewers end and the poor tour guide was left trying to make amends for something that was not his fault. Would recommend if you like war world two history

No words are needed for the Van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum, personally i think that they're a must to visit. Today we did the Anne's Franke walking tour, it was amazing, our guide Mary was so kind and so full of knowledge, she did an amazing job, we learned so many things and saw so many monuments and learned about them. It's really worthy tour, i suggest it to everyone that wants to learn about Anne Frank and the second world war. Be prepared to walk a lot, so wear comfy shoes
