Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 30 reviews
Walk with a historian through the old Jewish Quarter. I will show you more than 15 sites that tell us part of the tragic story of the Holocaust. Among them the headquarters of the Jewish Council, Anne Frank's high school and the theatre that served as a deportation centre. Different monuments, buildings, squares and parks show us different aspects of the darkest page in the otherwise glorious history of beautiful Amsterdam. Let me take you on a walk and show them to you. Our starting point will be in front of the building at Weesperplein 1, with the letters GGD written on it. We will walk along the Amstel River, some beautiful canals and our tour will end in the Plantage Quarter, next to Amsterdam zoo Artis.

Our tour guide Alex was really knowledgable and went further back in Amsterdam’s history to explain the context. He was really interesting and thought provoking but also had a good sense of humour. 2.5 hours went by quickly and we saw a lot of the city not on the normal tourist footpath. Great value for money and highly recommended.
