Here’s an overview of your tour

Let's take a step back to revisit history. Join me on a private walking tour to reveal the WWII history that took place in Amsterdam.

Hear all about the Nazi invasions despite Hollands proclaimed neutrality status, find out how the society coped with the occupation, the Jews persecution, and the role of the Dutch resistance with the results of a collaboration.

Visit important monuments like the Auschwitz monument, go to local squares like the Dam square and stop by Anne Frank's house to relieve her tragic story. There are plenty of stories I'll share with you like the Dutch famine during the winter 1944/45, the Dam square shooting the same day of the Germans capitulation and the liberation day by the allies

Go on a captivating tour full of incredible facts & stories. Perfect for history fans!

Personalize it to meet your needs and let me know how I can make the perfect tour for you.
