History Lives!

David_S, Mar 2026

Peter took our group of four through a fascinating walk through neighborhoods, touching upon WWII history and the role played by Belgium. He provided links to some of his work as a historian, and photos of key places as they looked during the war. I highly recommend doing this tour to anyone interested in history!

Immersive WW2 experience

HUGHE_L, Oct 2025

Highly informative walk of discovery with a charming published historian. If you want to know what Amsterdam looked and felt like under Nazi control then Peter is your perfect guide. Discover lanes and alleyways that you would never find on your own and stand in the very spots where the tragic history unfolded. 5 star guide. 5 star experience. Hugh and Barbara from Brisbane

Private WWII walking tour through Amsterdam. A walk back in time through the streets of Amsterdam with a detailed history of what life was like during this time period. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much Peter. Would highly recommend the tour!
