It was a 10!
Laura Maria is an exceptional guide-deeply knowledgable, thoughtful and completely engaging. Her understanding of Amsterdam’s WWll history is outstanding, but what truly set her apart is the way she weaves personal stories into the larger historical context.
The tour was far more than just a history walk. It was a moving and meaningful experience that we will carry with us. Cannot recommend Laura Maria highly enough.

Laura Maria was Wonderful
Laura Marie took my husband and me on a tour of Amsterdam focusing on the experience of the people of Amsterdam, particularly the Jewish people, in WW2. She was so knowledgeable and had so much information to share. She generously shared some of her family’s experience during the war which gave her a unique perspective. Although it is never upbeat to discuss war and Laura Maria shared stories of resistance and bravery as well as the horrors of the Holocaust and its aftermath. The visit to Holocaust Memorial/former theater turned deportation center for Jews was particularly informative. The actual film and recorded first hand accounts of people who were there and survived was fascinating. I had so many questions- Laura Maria answered them all in a way that was comprehensive and easy to understand. She was so warm and engaging. I highly recommend touring with her.

Fantastic tour!
Rolf was a great guide! He really gave us a full history of Rembrandt and Vermeer and having him made our experience at the Rijksmuseum perfect. It was exactly what we were looking for!
