Overview

This tour combines two of the most popular experiences in Amsterdam: Jewish history tours focused on Anne Frank, and local food tours. Instead of booking these separately, you get both in one — a rich, meaningful experience that blends culture, history, and taste. You'll explore the Jewish Quarter, learn about Anne Frank and the Holocaust, and enjoy a variety of Dutch and Jewish (including Amsterdam-Jewish) snacks.

It’s a historical walking tour where you won’t go hungry — and where food itself becomes part of the storytelling. The tastings connect you to the daily lives, traditions, and resilience of the people whose history we explore. Thoughtfully designed to be both respectful and engaging.
