Our guide Gauthier was extraordinary on the tour, sharing with us some very moving places. On the other hand, the address of the meeting point was not very clear for many people, as we went to Anne Frank's house and not to the synagogue.

GUI was an amazing tour guide. Went into detail about not only those that were part of the history of the Anne Frank story, which would have already been amazing because he did such a good job, but he also added cultural context to the sites we were seeing and the history of the Nederlands and how it all comes together. If you could book Gui I would highly recommend it.
