Lived the tour. Informative, beautiful scenery, could of had more time at the places to walk around and enjoy the scenery. Too many tour buses there at one time so you couldn't appreciate the experience as much. But a beautiful area wouldn't like to go back and have time just to spend and enjoy

Tour steeped in important reflection and personal stories

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Eva was very knowledgeable and she shared openly about her family’s history with the war and Camp which made the experience that much more touching. She also customized the experience for our family who was visiting from Canada. This was a very important lesson for our kids and a time for reflection.

Amsterdam vacation 2026

The tour was great. The tour guide Kai was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Many of us had problems with mobility, even though it ended up being a small group of 8, 3 had mobility difficulties. He made the tour as accessible and accommodating as possible. I would highly recommend this tour from this tour company, hopefully you will get Kai as your guide. We were only a group of 8 because of the rain. With a maximum of 18 in the group, it would still be an amazing tour. Because the other groups that at the attractions were much larger. I highly recommend this tour.
