Details

Meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people in central Amsterdam in time for departure. Set out to explore the city’s historic Jewish Quarter on foot, stopping to admire landmarks such as the Jewish Historical Museum and the Portuguese Synagogue.

Along the way, learn more about Amsterdam’s troubled past, as you hear about the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands between 1940 and 1945, and the effects of the brutal regime not only on the Jewish community but on the everyday lives of all those living in Amsterdam. See the head office of the Jewish council and hear about key events such as the Winter of Hunger and the February Strike as you pass monuments like the Dokwerker and the Auschwitz Monument. You’ll also learn more about the Dutch resistance and how they offered secret hiding places to families like the Franks.

Your tour ends outside the Anne Frank House, where you’ll learn more about her now-legendary diaries and how they came to be published by her father Otto Frank. Entrance to the museum is not included, but you can opt to visit independently after the tour.

Daniel was a great tour guide. He told us so much about the area we walked and it was very educational learning about the Jewish life in Amsterdam. He educated us the history of the happenings in Amsterdam I would definitely recommend this tour.

It’s a difficult but important story. For those who have read the book it’s especially meaningful. For those who haven’t, the guide we had did an excellent job offering the back story throughout our journey. Everyone should know the truth about what happened in order to prevent history from repeating
