Wonderful tour with Chris - he was very accommodating as it was a very cold, damp day, so we stopped inside to get warm while he continued telling us about the Jewish experience pre/during WWII. He also had many other good recommendations for Amsterdam. Highly recommend.

We stayed in Groesbeek for a few days with friends & had the chance to visit the Freedom Museum & other places in the area that were important in WW2, so this visit to the Jewish Quarter & Anne Frank House were a very good extension of these experiences. Our guide, Chris was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable & well spoken about this sad era. He was engaged & eager to answer all of our questions. Top notch experience in our opinion!

The Anne Frank tour is a must in Amsterdam. A very vividly told story that gets right through your skin. Our guide Julia told Anne's story in such a lovely and exciting way. You would have thought that she had witnessed the events. The tour shows very beautiful parts of Amsterdam that you would certainly never have seen without the tour. The time felt like it went by far too quickly, so two hours of walking was no problem. Julia's friendliness and passion also contributed to the success of the tour.

A big thank you again to Julia.

Guido’s knowledge of Amsterdam’s history and the Jewish people of Amsterdam was outstanding. We learned so much on this tour, and having a private tour made it so there was time for conversation. We ended at Anne Frank’s house and the tour included tickets into that which we couldn’t get on our own.
Thank you to Guido for such a wonderful tour.

Great Tour on Konigsdag (Kings Day)
We met Chris in the morning and had a lovely walking tour as the city started to get very busy for Kings Day.

It was a bit rainy so we ducked into a cafe for coffee and Chris gave us much of the Jewish history for Amsterdam.

Chris skills guided us threw the city to the Anne Frank house which is really and incredible place and an incredible story.

Very happy with Amsterdam experiences.

Edgar was absolutely great and shared much knowledge and passion for history.

We would have appreciated he be more easy to identify as our guide. I think we passed him up at least once.

very informative-well paced-tour guide was a local and very knowledgeable-

It is difficult to imagine the horrific horrors perpetrated on the Jewish people of Amsterdam without walking the streets, through the neighborhoods and past the Synagogues. Anne Frank symbolizes the loss of neighborhoods and their communities and many human lives

The Amsterdam Private Jewish City Tour, Synagogue & Anne Frank House Visit was an excellent and informative experience. Our knowledgeable guide, Connie, provided fascinating insights into the rich Jewish history and culture of Amsterdam, taking us to key sites such as the Portuguese Synagogue, the Holocaust Memorial, and the Anne Frank House. We had a great time learning about the profound impact of the Jewish community on the city and walking through the moving history of Anne Frank and her family.
