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.

Most visitors reach the Zaanse Schans by tour bus. You'll arrive the way everything once arrived here: over the water. The Verbetering is an original 1916 Dutch cargo barge and certified museum ship, one of the last historic ships still allowed to moor in Amsterdam. This day retraces her own freight route, sailed by the family that owns her: out across the IJ from minutes beyond Central Station, through the locks and onto the river Zaan, until the windmills rise ahead of the bow. Ashore you have two full hours, the complete Zaanse Schans ticket included: two working windmills, the Zaans Museum and Verkade Experience, the World of Windmills, the Weavers' House, the Zaan Time Museum and a clog-making workshop. Nothing to book, nothing to queue for. Home goes the long way, across the polder and down a centuries-old tow canal, never more than 12 guests aboard and always a dry seat. Years from now you'll still tell people about the day you sailed a real cargo ship to the windmills!
