One of the best tours you will do in Amsterdam

David_P, Aug 2026

Outstanding tour with James who was informative and considerate. His knowledge of both the history of Amsterdam and ability to any questions was exceptional.

This is the museum, and not the house

Sudie_T, Aug 2026

I misunderstood the excursion… I assumed that I was going to the end Frank house… so I really don’t have an opinion about this Tour as I didn’t attend

Guide was very...

Felice_G, Jun 2026

Guide was very knowledgeable about Jewish history in Amsterdam during WW2 presented through personal experiences living in Amsterdam, his Jewish ancestry, and melding together historical landmarks with more recent developments in Amsterdam today.

Excellent

This tour was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and allowed time for questions and photos. I wish we were able to enter the Portuguese Synagogue.
