Discover the Jewish history and significant monuments in Amsterdam

Are you interested in the Jewish history of Amsterdam since the 16^th century? Do you want to learn about the impact of the Jewish community on the development of the city? And are you prepared for a tour that’s a little more intense than a regular tourist activity? Then this Jewish History tour is a good choice for you.

On this private tour, you will visit historic sites and monuments related to the Jewish history in The Netherlands and Amsterdam. Among others, you will visit the Portuguese Synagogue, the Holocaust Names Monument, and various World War II points of interest. Of course, you will learn a lot about World War II and the Dutch Resistance. But you will also learn about the pre-war history, including the Jewish influence on Dutch society.

Good to know: This tour is a great alternative (or addition) to the Anne Frank House. There is a lot more to the Jewish history of Amsterdam than what you will discover if you visit only the Anne Frank House during your stay.
