Expect to be surprised at the level of professional revisionist WW II history from university teacher, Ben de Jong, far from the shallow Hollywood renditions of Nazi occupation of Amsterdam narrowly projected by the Anne Frank story. He documents, with official memos and in-situ photos, several subtle gray moral areas of anarchy suffered by both warring sides under fascism, even... More

Peter delivers an outstanding overview of Amsterdam during WWII. The walk took us through many of Amsterdams beautiful streets, canals and bridges. He also provides lots of documentation via email that helped us navigate Amsterdam on our own and gives lots of historical perspective. Just a great day! I highly recommend the tour.

Our tour guide Peter was excellent I've been to Amsterdam many times but this is a humbling and moving experience. It's a very informative tour with tons of hidden historical poignant reminders of Amsterdam during world war 2. Dylan Ireland

Thank you, Ben, for an informative and stimulating morning learning about the Netherlands' role and its people's experiences. If you are visiting Amsterdam, put this on your must do list.

The history of the transport of 100,000 Jews from the Netherlands to the concentration camps of Germany and Southern Poland is a sad tale. Yet it is a story well worth knowing and it is on this short tour that you will learn something about this. Our guide Ben came equipped with photographs and a handout - we went to... More

We were very lucky on our visit to Amsterdam last fall to have Peter as our guide for the Amsterdam WW II walking tour. His intimate knowledge of history and carefully crafted itinerary made us experience what the city was like in wartime. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam Joe&Eliana Montreal, Canada

Highly informative 3 hours with Ben who shared his immense knowledge of his city, and in particular life in wartime Amsterdam. Historical photos from exact same spots on the tour made the stories all the more poignant. Insignificant landmarks and memorials were identified, and the historical significance discussed. The small group enabled discussion. Particularly striking was on one particular street... More

The tour is very interesting and well worth the time and money. Peter brings newspaper clippings with pictures so literally you are standing in the same spot looking at the same thing as existed over seventy years ago. Peter obviously does the tour as much for love as anything as he shares painstaking research, for example his delving into the... More

Peter our guide explained that he prefers very small groups so he can discuss the subject yet entertain all and any questions visitors might have. This is certainly true. There was one other couple with us and consequently were able to ask a variety of questions not only pertaining to the subject but personal ones as well. Peter discussed Amsterdam... More
