We had such a great time! Manuel was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be with! And even though we had already read the book and watched various shows on Corrie ten Boom, we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and learned even more! I would recommend this to anyone interested in the history of Corrie ten Boom and Haarlem.

FANTASTIC summary on the “Hiding Place” with beautiful, memorable and meaningful sights to go along. Our guide was friendly, engaging and a great storyteller with deep respect for the resistance.

Read the Corrie Ten Boom book “The Hiding Place” before the tour, it will add a greater understanding of this already fascinating tour. Highly recommended.

The tour was very interesting in telling the story of the watchmaker and the Ten Boom family. What made the tour so special for us was the incredible tour guide, Manuel. He brought the experience alive to us with his passion and understanding of the history. Thank you!

Manuel was great. Knowledgeable, patient with the old folks. Would like an overview of where we’re going as we start.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Manuel! He is pleasant to be around and he touched on many sites around Haarlem that were significant to the WWII hardships experienced in that area, the Netherlands, and beyond. His talks were comprehensive and filled with tidbits that we were not aware of. So many folks do not know who Corrie ten Boom and her family were or the role they played in helping to hide Jewish folks. Corrie’s testimony to the love of Christ during those difficult days lives on and Manuel shares her experiences through that lens, with facts that also celebrate the religion on the Jews. Time marches on and the tour that Manuel provides will help young folks understand the significance of hatred and violence inflicted on people who just want to be free to live their lives the way God intended. No matter your religious views, don’t miss this informative and meaningful tour. You will enjoy Manuel and the hours you are with him!

Manuel did an amazing job making this tour. I would recommend it to anyone, it’s a very informational tour about Corrie Ten Boomhuis

A lot of walking is involved. Your guide might walk very briskly, so if you are a senior like us, you need to be up to the challenge. The information and the telling of Corrie ten Boom's story are incredible and very much worth the effort. The buildings are all so well preserved; you feel like you're really walking inside the historical context of her life.

The Corrie Ten Boom experience with Manual was very moving and also thorough (if you’ve read the book, you’ll understand). We walked quite a way and I had my 75 year old mother with me who with my help was quite able to keep up (but only just!) The tour will go the full two+ hours and then some so don’t book anything too close as you may miss the ending. Manual as a tour guide is one of the best I’ve had. We did two tours with him (also Anne Frank walking tour) and he was brilliant on both. His passion for the story he tells is obvious and you won’t be disappointed. BRILLIANT!!!

The tour guide was most engaging and knowledgeable! He made details come alive!
He is very good at what he does!
Wayne_L, Oct 2025
Though the weather sucked, our guide most definitely did not. He was capable, knowledgeable, and professional. His knowledge of the tour and history was well worth the cost. You could tell even he enjoyed it as he didn’t notice the time, and kept telling us interesting details over 30 minutes after the tour was supposed to end.
Heather_W, Sep 2025
This was a very informative and fun tour. Our tour guide Manuel is a great story teller and very knowledgeable about the details surrounding the Ten Boom family and the history in Haarlem during World War II We highly recommend this tour.
