This was an excellent experience. Martin was very informative and took us to spots I never would have found on my own. His knowledge of Market Garden was amazing!! A warm and kind person too I might add.
Martin is the best kind of guide for Holocaust history - incredibly knowledgeable but also compassionate and thoughtful. He smoothly adapted the day's tour to suit our particular interests
I was very impressed with his knowledge and the sights we saw. He was very knowledgeable and we explored many areas I'd never imagine visiting on a "normal" tour.
Martin was so full of information and so passionate about this tour that you really feel a part of the history while being there.
Discover your family history
The story of World War II is essentially a story written by the people who experienced this profound period in history. Our ancestors and their personal stories are priceless, revealing the courage, fear and perseverance of individuals in such difficult times.
With tourguidesforyou I offer the unique opportunity to discover the history of your ancestors and family. I will not only help you find the stories, but also visit the specific locations where these events took place. This way you can gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and the impact these historical moments had on their lives.
I can also help you if you are researching a specific event or personal story for another reason.
Multi-day tours
All tours are private and can be fully customized to your wishes, so that you get the experience that suits you best. Especially with our multi-day trips, we take the time together to look at the program and how we can best shape the trip. You have the freedom to determine the number of days, as well as the start and end point of your adventure.
In addition, you can fill in the travel program yourself and choose which activities, sights and experiences are most attractive to you. In this way, we ensure that every trip is a unique and personal experience, tailored to your preferences and needs.
