Masha was absolutely fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was entertaining, interactive, no dull moments. We enjoyed all the history and the sites/monuments that she showed us. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in the Jewish history of Amsterdam.

The guides knowledge was impressive. She told us many stories of what the people in Amsterdam went through when the Nazi’s occupied the city.

My boyfriend and I did the ww2 tour on Thursday February 13th with Stan. It was pouring rain, windy and cold as hell but Stan didn’t miss a beat. It was a great experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
