It was excellent. We saw the new 'In Memorium,' visited the site of the former Theatre, as well as having many other places of interest, pointed out to us. The guide was excellent, and she was happy to go at our pace. We covered a great deal. We have visited most of the sights of Amsterdam, & chose this tour as something we had not done before. We found it very moving at times, and imagine it would be even more so, for someone with a Jewish background. A very informative experience.
