Overview

This private walking tour doesn’t just show you the Jewish Quarter—it brings it to life. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll hear lesser-known stories of courage, loss, and resilience that go far beyond the textbook version of WWII.

You won’t stand in crowds or follow a flag. Instead, you’ll trace quiet streets, reflect at powerful memorials, and end your journey in a cozy local café with a drink and Dutch treat—because heavy history deserves a warm landing.

Anne Frank’s house is just the final stop. The true story? It’s written all over this city—and we help you read it.

What's Included

  • Insider To Do List in Amsterdam
  • Historical storytelling at 7 key sites across the Jewish Quarter

  • Entry tickets to the Anne Frank House NOT included
  • As an extra service, we will try to book tickets — only if tour is booked at least 7 weeks ahead
  • Optional tram ride for less walking (optional — can be done easily with debit card 3E.)
